Why aren't we farming rabbit meat on a larger and more personal scale?
Two rabbits can theoretically produce 75,000 in just a year. That should be plenty meat enough for a family. If I move out into the forest to live in a cabin I'd bring 4-6 rabbits with me and I'd be set.
Plus, rodent is pretty delicious.

I personally am not super into the taste of rodents, but in a survival situation they are really easy to raise. But they fall prey to predators really easily. A couple coyotes could easily decimate rabbits if they're not guarded.
rabit is super lean meat. If you try to live off of it in the wild you can die from dehydration due to diareah.
Protein poisoning was first noted as a consequence of eating rabbit meat exclusively, hence the term, "rabbit starvation". Rabbit meat is very lean; commercial rabbit meat has 50–100 g dissectable fat per 2 kg.
Now eating it to supplement other meat sources would be a good idea though.
guinea pigs breed faster, that's why
Look up “rabbit starvation”. You can die from a rabbit diet.
You’d probably know this if you had any knowledge about what you’re making this thread about.
only rabbit
regularly eating rabbit in stews and soups with vegetables in it, is demonstrably fine
That was a really great tidbit of information I did not know. Thanks for the info user. May come in use someday.
All you have to do to avoid this is cook the meat in some kind of fat, or supplement it with other fat sources. Be it from plants, dairy, or other animals.

Pathetic.
>With a whole cow you would get approximately 440 pounds of beef.
>The raised rabbits, all mixes of New Zealand, Silver Fox, and Californian, yield 3– 4 pounds of meat.
BUT
> using the same amount of food and water that a steer needs to produce 1 pound of meat, a rabbit can produce 6 pounds. --Rabbits are efficient feeders, needing only 4 pounds of feed to make 1 pound of meat.
Sven got a point it's actually quite tender meat then chicken and has the consistency of steak the only reason its not eaten is because they are "cute" but we eat sheep's and they are the fluffeist animals ever rabbits are already made to be abundant enough to feed a whole echo-system they are also quite and can live on a diet of pure corn and be fine they actually would be better then pork
A rabbit is not a rodent; it is, in fact, a lagomorph.
>somalians eat rabbit
yeah nah cunt
fucking burger hears "lean meat" and immediately thinks he'll starve
Chickens have better personalities than rabbits.
I'm pretty sure it's not that you're getting dehydrated or poisoned by protein, it's that you need a dietary source of fat and rabbit doesn't have any
You'd still need to raise some cows or hogs to have a source of fat, but yeah raising rabbits is pretty easy.
Because chickens also give eggs and you don't starve on their diet. Plus in permaculture, they are great for insect control.
it's not uncommon to eat grilled rabbit with allioli here
it's pretty tasty
farmed rabbit is juicy and not more lean than chicken
A diet solely of rabbit meat will eventually kill you through malnutrition. Look it up.
You have to eat it in combination with other foods.
nigger you will starve if you only eat rabbit meat
You think no one thought of this? Chickens won for various reasons.
I'll keep rabbits personally for various reasons but on a large scale for meat production chickens are better because of their ratios
What if you sear the rabbit meat with butter or olive oil?
You mean, that thing transforms when there’s a full moon?
Rabbits bring eggs on Easter
It’s malnutrition that’s the issue. You need vegetables and actual nutrients to suplement eating with the rabbit meat.
Funny, I just got rabbits last week. It'll be a couple months before I eat my first one as they are infants themselves. Can't wait to try them.
Pros:
-Their poo doesnt need to be composted like chicken manure and can go straight on your garden.
-quicker to clean a rabbit than it is to clean a chicken (defeathering takes a bit)
-you get a gorgeous pelt from every kill
-they breed like rabbits
Vegetables are shit nutrition, you don't get rabbit poison if you eat big chungus, but oy vey animal fat is bad for you goy eat the bugs.
framed rabbit > farmed rabbit
no nigger it's like a Decepticon.
When I migrate from suburbs to homestead I will keep this in mind.
Wrong file. They are new zealand whites. Seems to be the most commin meat rabbit alongside californians
Rabbit meat is like chicken breast. That pic is not from rabbit. Anyways, nothing wrong about it and it's delicious when prepared right.
based (your pic)
scurvy....but just dip it in raw butter or some other fatty substance. I like rabbit in duck fat personally
youtu.be
What are they thinking when they stare at the wall for hours on end?
I only eat beef, even pig tastes inferior
Enjoy being poor lmao, eat insects maybe? Fucking retard
Only good thing is that you can't feed rabbit grains so it will be "grass fed" by default. And rabbit food is basically compressed clover.
Rabbit starvation
Rabbit fever
Do you harvest them all in the winter or give them pills ?
same and true and true
This. You can add some fat from different meat anyways, like bacon or butter.
My pulled pork is better than A5 japan beef
rabbits aren't rodents you fucking retards
That is just a small part of their pen. Its a cubby that is more enclosed. They tend to hop in their when anyone walks past. Rabbits are very skiddish but when they see its just me, they come to the front to see what is going on.
Nothing goes with a brace of coneys like a few taters.
