We started with meat rabbits in August and I'm absolutely addicted and thrilled we're doing it.
A rabbit is MUCH easier to clean & skin than a chicken, and even in the kitchen, as far as breaking down, it's easier. (I do have muscular dystrophy and therefore not a lot of hand strength, and it's great for me)
Also rabbit is one of the healthiest meats out there...very good because it's either low cholesterol or free from cholesterol.
what helps us with the babies is to have another litter coming up behind it from another rabbit. Than when the babies are 10 weeks old, they aren't nearly as cute as the 2 or 4 weekers you have. I kiss and snuggle and name them all..I also grew up in the 'burbs but haven't had a problem yet. Husband does do the dispatch, however.
