Rabbits

We recently had two litters of bunnies! We are practicing for when we get some acreage and raise pigs, sheep, rabbits, and chickens. They are so cute. When people ask me about it they either seem very surprised at the idea of meat rabbits or say something like "They're good eatin'!". I don't feel bad butchering and eating them. WE raise them "happy". They are fed often. Mostly alfalfa pellets and hay. And we have a little rabbit run where we let them get exercise, dig, and nibble. Anyway I took some easter pictures of the older batch. I'm leaving the younger ones alone since they were born 2 weeks early and I want to give them time to get strong(and cute). Baby rabbits look like naked mole rats for a while. We lost one entire batch of 8 babies do to an error with a heating lamp. But we learned and are positive for the future litters. Enjoy the pictures!
