Brining the meat rabbits I just slaughtered. Should have some great roast rabbit on Thursday. Easiest meat animal to raise, delicious.


What are the major costs associated with raising rabbits besides land?


Land is not a major cost factor, as the rabbit equivalent of a broiler will not be moving too much, and will either live in small cage with mom, or medium cage as a grow-out with its siblings. Only real expense is feed, and you do want quality feed. I get a locally made non-GMO feed for $23.50/50lbs.


How do you prepare it?


Either rabbit roast (bacon + tomato) or exactly like chicken. The taste is close enough that most people can't tell, but rabbit accepts savory flavors better. Rosemary is phenomenal with rabbit.
