Does anyone currently, or has previously kept rabbits? I am in big research mode as I want to add rabbits to the homestead in spring.
My only previous experience was as a child with pet rabbits. These ones will not be pets. Although of course I wish them to have a good life.
Any advice? Good idea? Bad Idea? Why?
I've got as far as to realise I prefer the colony method. I've joined a bunch of groups etc but you guys are often more practical and down to earth.
So any tips to share? From cages, to foods, heating or cooling, uses for pelts, recipes. Basically anything you say is appreciated.
PS: I do know you can't survive on rabbits alone, I'm just looking to diversify my options.
