In my experience. I have had rabbits a lot. They need straw in the back, and don't touch their babies cause they don't like human smell. Also, their poop can be mixed into your dirt for gardening. That does really really well. Their urine has beneficial things too. Can't remember how. Seen that on the Preppers show. If you butcher your own, don't let the mother see you do it cause she will not produce anymore or will kill anymore she has.
