Another option is buy farm raised rabbit. They don't get the parasites (at least mine never did) but I didn't breed them during the summer because the heat stresses the does so much. Also, tame rabbits are much more tender. I always butchered mine when they weighed 4 lbs. That was about 6 weeks old. That's a perfect size for frying TAME rabbit.

What they say about rabbits is true. I started out with 1 buck and 4 does. Before I knew what was happening, I had about 150 fryers.

Yes Sir your right on the money there, I started with 6 does and 1 buck, I now have 15 does and 2 bucks, I'm looking to increase to 25 does and 3 bucks this winter. I don't breed them during the heat either, but I do get 5 litters a year from each doe. I don't butcher until 70 days, and ours dress 3.5 to 4 pounds. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD eating.
