Help with frozen rabbit..

I refreeze mice all the time...

Even though she's bigger'un a barn, she's still a snake (can't use sniglette...). She needs time to settle in, get comfy, relax and realize she's safe.

I'd not snuggle her - but gods I understand why you want to! - on the couch... And let her settle in and get used to the newness - at the very least the smells if she's in her cage she came in.

I'd also put some kind'a something in there - scratchy log - or something so she's not totally alone.

And then leave her a week or two or three and THEN try and feed her.

She prolly doesn't know if she's a foot or horseback!

Suggestion on the thawing time, get an instant read meat thermometer, so you can tell if the core is thawed. It may even do double duty, since when you pull it out, there will be a hole into the innards, and may help her smell it. Rub the pokey end all on the outside for good measure! Good luck with her, she's beautiful!

[Charlet_2007]

Nat, I wasn't talking quarantine, per se, but more of letting her settle in and get used to her new digs...
