In late January, we added rabbits to the mix. Our friends gave us rabbits that they needed to re-home. We got two lionheads and two regular probably inbred mutt rabbits. We are not interested in the business of showing rabbits, so their breeds didn't really matter. They needed a home, so we gave them one. We did give one rabbit away to a friend and that rabbit is living a rabbit's dream. That was a good fit and everyone is happy.
Our remaining rabbits are well loved but we try to protect them from predators, our pughuahua dog, or yelling kids. There have been 5 kits born and that has been a great learning experience. In 9 weeks, those bunnies will be dinner. Raising meat rabbits has been our intention however the original rabbits that we kindly received from friends would never see the crock pot. They are going to live out their natural life on our property. Despite the ultimate fate for the babies, they are still treated kindly and with love everyday.
