So how many of you raise meat rabbits also?

Rabbit has a very "fine" flavor, home raised aren't gamey at all. They take very well to light seasoning and marinades, to heavy of a sauce will over power it and cover the flavor.

Depending on what breed you have--such as californians or new zealands--about 8-10 lbs. But make sure the weight is not fat. Fat rabbits don't breed well.

I have meat rabbits. I have three does and one buck. They taste great and provide tons of poop that doesn't need to be composted. I like them better than chickens cause they are way easier to clean and just seem like less work. They also don't stink near as bad.
