LOL! Funny thing is, when I was poking about on rabbit-farming, I accidently stumbled thru a ARA site in England that was pointing out the horros of bunny-raising for meat/fur. I got to thinking; 'We'd probably have at least some ARA's along on the colony.....what would happen if one got really nutty and tried to release all the bunnies into the wild?' Oh, boy! |

Actaually, that's the way I see it, Animal lover. Bunnies that get to act like bunnies out in the fields will be healthy bunnies. How difficult would it be to let them 'den' out in a field? Would there be much risk of them tunneling under barriers? |

Would the bunnies dig dens or be satisfied with the shelters, do you think? |

I'm starting to see how this can be made to work. I'd like to rotate the bunnies thru a series of fields; their job being to turn a 'cover-crop', like buckwheat, into meat on the paw, as it were. I'll have to check into what type of natural chow bunnies like. Clover would work, too, Yes? |
