rabbits

Rabbit in the freezer this morning.:2thumb: There is a bunch in the field behind my place, and a bunch of neighbors in stiff competition for them. As soon as I find another they are going in the pot. I put the fur in homemade tanner, should take about a week to be done and dry etc. Hope...

Just cooked up my first rabbit tonight. Good, texture somewhere in between white meat chicken and veal. I just kind of overcooked it, a little dry. Not quite used to the timing for it yet, I fried it like chicken, and it was good, but thought maybe some here might have some tips for making it...

Well Juliet and Romeo have done it. They are the proud parents of 5 new bunnies as of 7:30 this morning. Yea! Now we have to build another rabbit cage.

No pictures (this time...) but I figured I'd give you all an update. I've got a decent sized (5x10x5 feet) outdoor cage built, and today slaughtered my first rabbit. Granted, the rabbit in question was one I'd intended to use as a breeder, but it flipped its lid and over the last week and a...

Hey, I've seen several people mention keeping rabbits for food. Can you provide more information on that? Where do you buy the young (obviously not a pet store at $20 a pop!) and how do you keep them? Is it more effective to buy 1 male and 1 female and let them breed, or what? Also, how do you...

My wife and I just found ourselves to be the new owners of a set of 8 rabbit hutches. I am researching meat rabbits and thought someone here might have some information to help me get started. Any help is appreciated. John
