I was told by the breeder that it is easier to switch them from mice to rabbits then from rats to rabbits so I got a bunch of mice and I have a hook up on rabbits of all sizes. She's already eaten a small rat and a rabbit pinky so I'm not worried about converting her because I already know that she will take other food items. I'm just giving her to mice to get rid of them because I have nothing else that eats them.
I had a problem in the past when one of my large retics wouldn't switch to rabbits from rats. He would even strike at the rabbit, but then let go so I eventually got rid of it because feeding it 6 jumbo rats a feeding was extremely pricey. The new owner is still trying to get it to take rabbits and I gave it to them 3 years ago.
