This chart thing I've been looking at recons an x-large rat is about the equivalent of a 1lb rabbit...You can give it a few adult rats.

That means an extra large rat is 4-500 grams which is not right in Australia. It is best to use weights rather than generic names to compare food items. Most Australian Rats peak at about 4-500 grams wheras rabbits are readily available up to say 1500 grams for retile food. Even Oenpellis only eat a 1500 gram rabbit. A lot of breeders try to mimic the natural feeding frequency with larger food items so the animal get "time off" between feed rather than feeding small items often which can mean the animal is digesting 24/7.This chart thing I've been looking at recons an x-large rat is about the equivalent of a 1lb rabbit...
