They are lovely cuties at the mo but I'm sorry to say that eventually they will be eaten.

We keep "mummy and daddy" as pets. Too many rabbits cost too many pennies.

What do you feed them Simon?, we are going to have them in Portugal as there arn't to many wild one's around, and we love Bunnies.

Pricey, a couple of issues ago in CS magazine there was an article about a family in France breeding bunnies for the table. Not sure how much it will tell you but if you don't take that magazine already I'll try to dig it out for you if you like.

Wondered why TD suddenly suggested that we could keep rabbits if we needed to...I hugely admire you for doing it Simon, but not sure I could manage it, they are sooooo damn cute. I used to have a spotted rabbit for a pet Pointless pets though. Maybe I could do it after all

compressed grass pellets mainly (with added nutrients no doubt) from the local Gamm Vert. We also give them all the greens we can pick from our garden and surrounding country pathways. Mainly dandelion leaves but sometimes we find clover and other stuff that they love. Plenty of fresh water aswell .... they drink loads.

Fair enough I have 2 pet rabbits and have thought about breeding from them for meat but we've only had rabbit a few times and did'nt think it was that great. We're, or rather I am going to raise some chickens for eating. OH says he's too much of a wimp for the killing/preparing part though more than enthusiastic about the eating part

I went to a greek restaurant last night and they had rabbit on the menu which surprised me. I haven't had rabbit for years so Rabbit kleftico it was! I had forgotten what a distinctive flavour it has. Mmm I don't think I could eat these cuties tho!
