Thinking of breeding rabbits for the table. 

Spoke to one man already who does it. And he was telling me it's a great supply of meat all year round. 

Does anyone on here do this or had done this on the past.

I did it as a kid, ended up doing a couple of thousand a yr, used to sell the skins as well, was a nice little earner for an 8yr old.

i used to breed new zealand whites cross californian, and  i used a dutch buck sometimes because dutch have good meat ratio to bone and they mature really quickly,   as for food it never cost me a penny for food or litter what i would do was take a metal hook and collect hogweed ,dandilions ,clover and vetch in an unpolluted area, for the litter i would collect the dead dry reeds from down the marshes,they would also eat a certain amount of this ,  i never had any problems with my rabbits and when they were gutted the fat around the kidneys would be snow white and lovely healthy kidneys
