In the 1.5 years I've had rabbits I've made most of my own cages, built my own shelters, butchered the rabbits, cleaned skulls, and tanned hides all by myself besides occasionally asking his advice. I think he finally realized I'm hooked. :lol:
He hunts and fishes and is used to butchering and eating game. He's never once offered to help me butcher and I didn't ask...until a couple of days ago. I didn't ask, he just offered. I think he's finally resigned himself to my raising and eating rabbits.
He wasn't a big fan of rabbit meat at first but when I started deboning and frying I think that helped win him over (although personally I think him not liking rabbit was mostly mental, he eats almost anything lol). We butchered 5 (I really was faster lol) and I fried up a bunch of loins for supper. He even bragged on me at work. :mrgreen:
I think my dumping 17 wheel barrel loads of rabbit manure in our garden area right before he disked it may have helped as well. :lol:
So anyway this really is a random rabbit rambling but I wanted to share.
In case anyone is wondering my next project is pork/rabbit/venison sausage...
