Let’s talk reality: how do your rabbits work for you?
Feed isn’t free. Time isn’t free. Infrastructure definitely isn’t free.
So if you’re raising rabbits—especially beyond a couple pets—there has to be a system that keeps the lights on.
Here’s what we do on our end to offset feed costs:
We bag and sell manure for gardens.
We sell meat for the table.
We utilize hides.
Extra parts from butcher go into the pet food or oddities market.
I also learned tanning and wet taxidermy specifically so more of the animal’s value stays on the farm instead of being wasted. That wasn’t a hobby choice—it was a survival choice.
Now I’m curious how you handle it.
Do you:
Sell meat, manure, or breeding stock?
Do fiber, hides, or by-products?
Run education, workshops, or memberships?
Barter, trade, or stack multiple small revenue streams?
There’s no single “right” answer—but pretending rabbits cost nothing is how people burn out fast.
Drop what’s working for you below. Real numbers, real systems, real lessons learned.
