Big ears food

[Andrei]

Grew up relatively poor.
My dad started us raising rabbits to have some meat on the table.
80 - 100 rabbits per yr would be raised.
So many yrs latter I started again with the goal of one rabbit per week.
Just like in my childhood I feed my rabbits only "trash".

Where are you from Andrei? From the date on the picture it isn't as far north as I am...

Huge buck there.. Feel kinda sorry for your does!!

 

[Andrei]

Yes, I am located way south.
I could not find does for his size and indeed he was kind of a bully.
Now I am producing his double grandchildren in hope I can get others like him.

Good pic. That's a lot of rabbit there.

 

[Andrei]

Some really good meat.
In fact the best meat available.
And all raised with trash.

A cross between Flemish and Continental giants.
Slow growers.

Well, I don't know about the "Belgium" part but the "Giant" part is certainly true.

As a kid growing up in Scotland we used to eat rabbit quite often. It was the poor man's meat. Myxomatosis put an end to that.

Myxomatosis was one of the first biological weapons (WMD) used by humans.
