The woman that owns the local feed store here told me that "no one raises rabbits here it's too hot."But I figure if the wild ones are here,and there are a lot of cotton tails as well as jacks,it is worth a try.
I use a lot of water trying to keep them cool,frozen juice bottles too. I guess I'll have to beg forage from anyone I can.Some people have Mulberry trees but the female ones are rare here.My family is allergic to the pollen put out by males.
cotton wood only grows in the "active" washes,got to go four wheeling for that.With gas at almost four dollars a gallon,I may have to stick with pellets.......Someone here said citrus is good,everyone and their brother grows grapefruit, lemons and navel oranges so maybe........
