We also have meat mutt, TAMUK composites. And yes in Texas they love to lounge around during the day and play at night. We run both cage and tractor setup along with supplementing from our garden beds and the mullberry tree. It definitely helps reduce feed costs.

We have pan fried, grilled, baked, canned, and slow cooked our rabbits although I think slow cooking or canning is the most tender since the meat does dry out easily due to being so lean. We also make bone broth from the rabbits for other cooking and as bad as it sounds we blender bunny as well.

We take any leftover bones and meat and pressure cook it. Then combine the meat and soft bones from the pressure cooking with organ meat and blend it together. Our “rabbit slurry” then gets a light mix with oats and quail eggs and goes in an old cupcake pan in the freezer to make bunny cakes for the dog. The inspiration came from “Teal Stone Homestead” with slight modifications. We try not to waste what we can and what we cannot use goes into compost.

Not the best of designs but works for our poo catching or as Norma says “fertilizer harvesting” 😀 lol

We use 1/4 x 1/4 wire mesh shaped into a U under the cages with a slope for poo catching. Still working on the urine catching part. Thinking maybe some leftover 6 mil poly under that sloped to one side with a leftover rain gutter to catch? Still trying to work something out though.
