Best Answer

When a person is bitten by a rattlesnake, the venom injected into the body can cause a condition known as rabbit starvation. Rabbit meat is very lean and low in fat, so when consumed as the primary source of nutrition during this condition, the body is unable to metabolize the protein efficiently. This can lead to malnutrition and potentially fatal consequences. Therefore, it is advised to avoid eating rabbit meat if bitten by a rattlesnake to prevent exacerbating the effects of the venom.

What would eat a rabbit alive?

A buzzard. Buzzards are scavengers, meaning they eat things that are already dead. A python or a boa. Possibly even a rattlesnake, viper, cottonmouth or any other snake if the rabbit is small enough. Any large carnivorous animal will eat a live rabbit. Of course, the "process" of eating the "live" rabbit kills it anyway, so when you think about it, the animal is eating a "dead" rabbit.
