    I sewed the back end of a f/t rat to the front end of a rabbit using absorbable suture (it digests quickly) to convert over a female retic that was putting several jumbo rats per meal each week after her prior owner swore she would not eat rabbits. Took about three "rattit" meals to convert her, and I used young rabbits the same size as the jumbo rats to ensure that her total meal size wasn't too big.

    I grew up listening to the Smothers Brothers! Cause crabs walk sideways, lobsters walk straight, and we won't let you take her for your mate!

    Do you still feed rats or do you do other animals. Rainbow loves birds. Chicken, Duck, etc..... Offered her a baby pig (2lbs) and she hit it hard but same result as the rabbit. She hits it, then is like what the heck is this.

    That was Laugh In. Same "German guy" (played by Arte Johnson https://www.pinterest.com/pin/37788084343778753/) would sit on a park bench next to Ruth Buzzi-
    well, here...just watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGtR9t4_nS8

    So you're not the only relic around here, & I loved the Smothers Brothers too. (Hee Haw, not so much...)

    hahahaha!
