Rabbits come in a variety of sizes, colors, and fur lengths. Large rabbits, raised for eating, are very friendly and docile animals and are somewhat easier to raise than are chickens. Rabbits can provide you with beautiful, warm fur and good lean meat with less fat for your family. Rabbits make ideal food animals because they are highly reproductive and demand little care. Rabbits are delicious, nutritious, and prolific, being very hardy. Rabbits need less space, are less noisy, and usually cost less than chickens, making them a good addition to your backyard homestead.
