Quote:Are you breeding for fun, sale, or food? If the last, you can start harvesting them about 6 weeks after they start on solid foods. If you want them plump then be sure to restrict their motion with small crates and feed them heavy grains.

 

 

Dude, that's just sick. You can raise animals for food without putting them in tiny, confined areas and restricting their motion. That's just cruel. Personally, I never ate any of my rabbits, but I knew plenty of people who did and they raised them in standard pens where they had room to run around. I just raised mine purely as show stock, but ironically, I do rabbit hunt. I just couldn't eat the ones I raised.
