The bunnies are pretty! DH and I have been thinking about getting back into raising them ourselves. It has been about 7 years since we had any. We raised them for meat but I still enjoyed having them. I would not let myself get attached to the ones that were going to be killed but I did bond with the mothers since I never planned on killing them. When we stopped raising them (moved) I gave the breeding pair away to an old guy that wanted them for breeding too and knew they were too old to eat or at least I think he did.
