We have way too many rabbits that we've been feeding only because we haven't prioritized harvesting them. We usually catch them as part of the morning chores but with the winter chores it has fallen out of routine. We just ate three from the crock pot, have one resting in the fridge and one in a cage that I'll process tomorrow. I hope to have the rest harvested over the next week or so. We are still undecided whether to get new breeding stock in the spring or keep what we have. We are are looking for slightly larger rabbits.

It seems that everything project on the homestead is providing a huge meal for the rabbits in the cannabis garden lately.
We have been experimenting with waiting longer to harvest. Before we were worried about over population but the cannabis garden is so large it can support more rabbits than we thought. However, with winter coming, it's going to be time to harvest all that are good size soon.
Since we have been feeding them so much, there hasn't been as much fighting amongst the males. Maybe they are fighting less because they have made more burrows which are more well spread out in the colony too. This system has performed very well for us this year so far. I can't wait to tally up the total amount of cannabis and rabbits meat it produced.
