I have had to occasionally cull kits from really large litters. I can understand culling for markings if you need to cull; you might as well keep the most desirable rabbits. While I admire the sentiment here that a use must be found for the kits, I don't entirely share it. If culling must be done, it must be done. I have a hot compost pile that returns these kits to the earth in short order, but in the winter, I merely throw them out into the weeds where somethingwill use them. Nature has a use for everything natural; give it back to nature and she will use it. To cull, I put the kits one at a time into a plastic grocery bag and swing the bag down hard on a picnic table. Then I bury them deep in the compost to ensure that the next time I turn the pile, they won't be identifiable and carrion scavengers won't find them. It is easily the worst part of raising rabbits for me and I'm thankful that it's uncommon in my herd.
