I receive many requests for information about raising rabbits in the backyard from those viewing my rabbit pages on the Internet. I believe that there are those who would like to have some fast answers about rabbit raising without reading an entire book on the subject.
So the following is a condensed version of the basics, or Rabbit Husbandry 101 briefly stated. Please note that for the sake of brevity we will deal here with the middleweights or the popular meat breeds of rabbit.
I believe it is possible to digest or abridge the topic by bending some rules of instructional writing. Most authors writing "how to" manuals state a principle and then follow up ad nauseam with a justification for their idea or principle.
The follow is a synopsis made possible by abbreviating the justifications for my theories of backyard rabbit raising. Actually, my justification can be compacted in one brief concept. Succinctly put... success. A sort of leporine take it or leave it compendium of categorical imperatives follows.
