Wonderful! We had bad luck with ours this year. One mom who had babies last year would NOT get pregnant (or cannot anymore. ..more likely the case) . The other one had her first litter of 8 and promptly died the next day! We tried to save the babies but to no avail.

When it works out, it is a great source of meat. Smart of you to have kept your cages.

Nekoatsume....I found it mild tasting....my husband says along the lines of pork.

Good luck Ross!

It depends what you feed them. Only fed "rabbit food" pellets, they taste a lot like store-bought white meat chicken. Wild diet, they taste like free range chicken LOL. Mixed diet including whole grains, they taste like if a chicken and a pig had a baby. But still like chicken :D

Yep many ways to cook which gives many different flavours . Stews , oven , open fire , bbq , slow cooker etc . Yu get my drift . Yep like any other critter endeavour all have there issues . Plan to do colony breeding as well as cage in spring . Found works real good like chickens . I feed scratch grain & pellets free choice . Luck

Lol, I agree with WWWolf they doooo taste like chicken but that's ok in my book, I luv chicken. I can't kill a bunny that is why I switched to raising the pet breeds lol. Rabbits are probably my number two animal to keep after chickens, easy to look after.

Californians?
We used to raise rabbits when the kids were small, and called them "Spanish chickens" to protect our children's sensibilities, until they asked why we call the rabbits Spanish chicken so that was the end of that.
Had them processed at one of the small local abattoirs, that have long disappeared.
