I would send the rabbits up to my house and the ferrets will make good use of them 
It's got to be a scenting thing. She might just not recognise the scent of rabbit as food.
Are you using the smallest rabbits you can find? Maybe the size is also daunting her? |

| yep,their netherland dwarf rabbit but very fluffy,i mentioned to kehhlyr that it might be a fur thing as the rats are usualy wet/damp and i been letting the rabbits thaw overnight then bunged on the radiator for 20 mins,will try the next one water defrosted,the scent might be too strong on them too |

Hi Ali , Sorry to ask a silly question but just need to know the correct answer .. Why do most snakes go off there food at this time of year is it due to getting ready to go in to breeding season for next year ? |
