I am interested in seeing what all your responses are. :)

So why exactly do YOU raise rabbits?

I raise them for meat mostly, but I do raise some to sell as pets and breeders, and I consider my own breeders to be pets. I also use their manure as compost in our garden and yard (it is the only manure that you can put straight on the garden). But most of all I do it for the fun of it, because who doesn't like the fluffy little things?

I raise my rabbits mainly for meat. I have sold exactly 1 rabbit as a pet. The other rabbits I have sold have been used for snake food. While its nice to get a couple bucks in my pocket I do not make a profit at all.

I also use the manure for compost and when they do have babies they are fun. I haven't had a litter in a while so I'm getting rather irritated with them.

I raise mostly for compost. My biggest goal this year is to have a thriving garden. Secondary purpose for meat. Rabbits are definitely one of those animals that are beneficial from almost any angle :) I'm so excited to raise them!
