Are you considering meat rabbits?

Raising livestock in an urban area is often a difficult task, not necessarily due to environment or space requirements but due to restrictions in the form of local laws.

We encourage each of you to choose your own path and raise and grow what suits your families needs.  We also do not judge those who choose the path of eating meat or being a vegetarian, all of which are your own personal choices.

For those who might be thinking of raising chickens for both eggs and meat you might also be considering rabbits for meat as well, you need to be aware potential issues that might arise.

Rabbits raised for meat are one that often spurs emotional and spirited debates, and the health benefits of rabbit meat as a lean source of protein are well known, versus wild rabbit that is so lean that it could be dangerous to rely on it as a long term food source.  There are pitfalls to raising meat rabbits and today we want to share from "They are not our goats" blog why they quit raising meat rabbits.

Read on and see why meat rabbits may not be a good fit for your family.
