I dont mind plucking a rabbit. I have no use for the skin so there's that. Climate is warm all year round, so its not like i can use them for clothing. So for my purpose the skin is a waste product. It would be better for me to pluck the rabbit.

This is great!! Good job!! It really looks delicious. Continue to keep us updated. Really appreciate what you are doing!!

I figured they would be but there are ways around that. Like forming a co-op with other farmers so we would all have the machine to use. I'm thinking more along the lines of a commercial scale though. You grow your own source (fodder) material for the feed. Do you think it would work out to be...

I don't know I was hoping I would find someone who was tried it or would be able to try it, since I am unable to do so.

Thank you for trying this! It looks great!! This is pretty interesting. So are you saying that plucking them and skinning them took you basically the same amount of time? How long did it take? How long did you scald the rabbit for and what was the water temperature? I assume you have grilled...

I think it all depends on the approach taken because there are ways to make it cost effective. Such as splitting the cost between other farmers or try to get a pre-owned machine etc. I just wanted to know if anyone had attempted this and how it would affect the quality and nutritional value of...

8 weeks is kinda young do you think the skin can hold up to that heat? Or maybe it jus depends on how long you submerge the rabbit? You can try it jus the same though because I am more interested in the result. By the way what kind of weight are you getting for that age?

I assume the biggest cost of rabbit rearing would be feed costs. I'm not at a stage where I have a problem feeding my stock but it's an Avenue I would like to explore for future use. If necessary. I just wanted to know if anyone attempted it to know the do's and don't's etc. Or the little...

I was thinking about the fodder systems that are out there and something came to me. Converting for example barley fodder into pellets. Does that make sense? Has anyone attempted this? What are your thoughts.

Has anybody tried to produce their own pellets for meat rabbits? Is it commercially viable on a small scale? Or are any proven formulations available? I hope someone can answer.

No actually, I've never cooked the meat. I eat it often but I don't usually do the cooking. Let me know how it works out. i'd be happy to hear the result.

Yes I have eaten rabbit with the skin on a very long time ago. Don't really remember much. I'm from Jamaica and here we have a form of grilling we call "jerk". There is Jerk Chicken, Jerked Pork and Jerked rabbit is slowly taking off. I haven't personally jerked any rabbit but I have had it...

I am fairly familiar with rabbit rearing and processing but something popped in my mind that I can't find the answer to. I know how to skin a rabbit, that's easy. What I want to know is, is there an easy way to pluck a rabbit so that the skin remains? Is there an established procedure for doing...
