Decklin, really the only things I have against raising rabbits are; 1, the cost. However if you are actively raising, butchering and storing them then this wont be an issue. I just don't have the time. 2, they are not a good SHTF animal unless you have enough property to be able to tractor them on grass and flowers. I can't figure out a practical way to grow their food. My property is barely big enough to grow enough people food. My plan is to remove the rabbits and use their space for more vegetable beds. Down the line when we can upgrade property I would do it again. They are pretty easy to clean. I can process one out in about 20 min when I'm in the groove. Ultimately I would say that if your location and lifestyle permit it then its a great idea. Oh bonus, their poo is great for the garden. Its not "hot" and won't burn your plants so you can mulch with it when ever you like. Fruit trees and tomatoes absolutely love it!!! Good luck and feel free to PM with any questions.
