RE: THE BEST PART OF RABBITS REPRODUCING LIKE RABBITS

in #homesteading7 years ago (edited)

those do indeed look the cutest...
I have seen you trade them away but are they primarily kept as meat animals since it is a homestead after all?
and how do the little peppers deal with that seeing those animals grow up from ultimate cuteness to ending up in the pot?
we used to have rabbits when i was young and I kinda knew what they were there for but still ate them but my sister did/could not

Sort:  

We used to eat them, but have moved away from that. For now they provide manure (and joy) and something to sell or trade if need be.

I have never eaten them, is there a reason that you moved away from that?

I imagine you sell them for either meat or pets. Here in Colombia the pelts are also a nice saleable good.

Actually it is because we are looking into Old Testament dietary law.

May God Bless you and your family!
