Rabbits are an excellent animal to raise for meat.
Not only are they a hardy animal that can be raised in a small amount of space, the meat is delicious and high in protein. Rabbits are fairly easy to care for once you have established suitable housing. A basic wire-mesh hutch is the preferred cage providing protection from the weather and predators. You will need to provide a separate hutch for each rabbit, approximately 3 or 4 feet square. Mount cages at a height that will make for easy cleaning, feeding and maintenance.
