Hi!

This sounds like an interesting project. Are you going to use rabbit pellets as the processed food? What are you planning on using for the fresh food?

Here is a page detailing what kinds of animal experiments need approval:

You should be able to do this project as long as the rabbits are getting enough food. Since you are manipulating the environment (the food is part of the environment) then you will have to get your project approved. Your teacher should be able to help you figure out exactly how to get your project approved.
