It seems to have become a personal challenge at this point. hehehe... <br />I give the rabbits all kinds of treats from the garden. There are lots of different trains of thought as to weither this is a good idea or not but if SHTF there isn't going to be anymore rabbit food around here. I figure I'm just getting them ready! <br />I'd like to try raising some meat birds in the spring but I really do like rabbit meat as well. Oh, and contrary to popular belief it does NOT taste like chicken!

Are you going to try to supplement the feed with "real" greens and such?
