I have told my youngest she can have some (2 males and 2 females)--and that plan is for food. I haven't checked on the breeds for my area yet.
Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.
therabbithouse.com should tell you everything you need to know. I raised rabbits for years. My best meat rabbits were california kings.
I do not... but desperatly want to. DW put the kibosh on it though because they are too cute!
I'd set it up anyway but I would require her to help maintain it for when I am away.
And she wont eat them.
Are there any really ugly rabbits?
sorry to say but all rabbits are Thumper cute. But maybe if you give her own rabbits for pets then your rabbits can be meat rabbits. Just a thought.
We have wild rabbits all over our property year round, but they are generally quite small. I shoot and eat them when she is away, but would like to raise some big meaty ones.
I don't get it... how could anyone think this is cute:
I have to do this in Baby steps.
I'm doing this in the guise of pets for the twins. However, my ulterior motive is , of course, meat rabbits.
When SHTF, my wife wont ask questions, she will ranger up and drive on.....right now, however, If I told her we were eating bunny rabbit, she would hit the floor.

trap a wild one and breed it to a meaty big rabbit , then you will have a hardty bunch. This is what I am going to do when I start my rabbit colony.
