Meat Rabbits

    When it comes to self sustenance and prepping, I believe that meat rabbits is a great food source. Why? Because rabbits are easy to raise, they grow fast and reproduce fast, and the meat of the rabbit is some of the healthiest meat you can find. I started raising meat rabbit not to long ago, and it is a wonderful experience, your first few rabbits will become family, at least mine have, but soon you will have more that wont be difficult for you to kill.

    Starting a meat rabbit opperation is not difficult, but it will cost money. All you need to start is some cages rabbits feeders and water bottles, I started mine on only $50, but depending on how you make your cages depends on your cost. a friend of mine gave me some spare lumber and then I got my rabbit from the amish. If you decide to buy pre-made cages, perhaps from tsc, it will be expensive, about $30 per cage, depending on size of cage and that specific store, you can find rabbits fairly cheap on craigslist, prices ranging from $5-$25, feeders will cost around $6 at tsc for the medium size, water bottles can cost $2-$10, I wouldnt reccomend the walmart brand.

when it comes too cages the design you use is really up to you and your needs, some people build their own, and some people buy theirs, here is my design,

And here are some more designs:

If you are a prepper, or just want to be more self sufficent, rabbits can feed your family, in a disaster, job loss, or if you just want to save money.
