So my wife and i are looking at raising and "producing" rabbits. Both of us have had rabbits as a food source when we where younger. The questions i have; what rabbit is the best to bread, what is the best way to "contain" the rabbits, and what would be the best source of food for the rabbits. The rabbits would be for the cory household only. I have checked the the local laws and i will be fine. I would like to get some info on this. Thanks

Wouldn't google be a better source of information about actually raising rabbits? I mean if you were serious and all. I had a friend that raised them in Alaska, all I know is if they get too hot they can explode, literally, so they'd have to hose them down in the summer.

I actually had a few rabbits when I was younger. My dad built an elevated hutch to keep unwanted "guests" away from them. We would buy rabbit food from a local feed store in town. The temps here in the summer can reach 108, so we would freeze 2 liter bottles of water and put them in there for the rabbits to lay next to so they could keep cool.

I enjoyed it :-)

Cory, what the ****. Why would Rabbit meat be worth all this hassle? You're better off just hunting the little bastards. You really want Xeke seeing/hearing a Rabbit die :-)

I've got THIS book and it has a chapter about raising rabbits. But as the title suggests, it has lots of information about lots of things you may want to try if you live in the country. It's sort of a book for people who might want to try living "off the grid" - how to raise various animals, how to capture power from streams, how to build outbuildings, using herbs from the wild, raising vegetables, etc. Lots of useful information.

I should add I live in a suburban townhouse, so for me the book is just for dreaming. I'd love to live in the country, but I don't have a current purpose for any of the information in the book.
