Thread: Rabbits for Meat

The largest Rabbits I've ever seen in Thailand, Cambodia and Laos weight about 2.5-3Kg.
Does anyone know, where I can find 4kg Rabbits in Thailand?

Many thanks in advance

I like to eat rabbits, but only ones that have been shot in the wild

some of those Chinese white rabbits get big, but I am not sure about what they get fed on

Is that to mean that you don't want to eat ANY animal that was killed in the wild? I would love to find rabbits at the market, why not, it's an easy process to raise.

I used to breed rabbits in the UK for food, out here where the Thais eat cats they look at you sick if you mention eating rabbits or sheep. they claim sheep smells, yet they eat pigs.

sheep do stink as goats do...don,t know if you had any 'hands' on work when it comes to butchering, but all animals stink when you get down and dirty

Sick murdering bastards.

How would you feel if i liked to make bright eyes suddenly burn so pale?

Is it a kind of shadow reaching into the night?

If my memory serves me correctly, cage bred rabbit is the main part of the meat intake in China.

Here's a fun fact. If all you had to eat was wabbit meat, you would starve to death.

Exactly almost 0 fat all protein. Especially if you don't eat the innard's, brain and eyes.

Seek out Warren?

I looked at rabbits a few years ago, my wife was horrified when i said, she said Wabbit suay no eat.

Seems there are rabbits up north, read that you have to protect the pens hutch's against ants as the ants will kill the babies.

Rat's, Rabbit's same thing in my book. They usually sell them in the large markets around here. Different breeds also. Could probably ask for ones that get larger the sellers would probably know.

Is there much game up where you are Andy?

where am I, Jack?

if you mean Chiang Mai, mainly rat, you don't see much for sale although there are animals in the jungles that do get caught and eaten

fish seems to be the main catch of the day

as I am in London, there are plenty of game dealers around

I hate rabbit meat - it has a really bad smell and taste.

During WWII it was available in the UK off ration, but even then I would pass on it and just eat veg. Any other meat OK, but rabbit - ugh!!

fair enough thought you where in CM

I think snakes would be the biggest problem

anyway, rabbit meat is good, I have always liked it

good value too

Possibly we bred ducks a few years back, and found as long as the huts were well wired the snakes never got in, the same plot of land last year we cut all the euca on it and then had a burn through, of the branches leaves etc and was amazed on how many snakes were burnt after we finished i was going to go in and rake it all first lucky i never.

Had a couple young pet rabbit's for the kids biggest problem is dog's one of the fuckers broke through the hutch and took off with one. Other just died for no apparent reason. Ant's will kill and devour anything that cant get out of the way of them. Baby rabbit's fit that bill easily. Snakes could be a problem if you have large snakes in your area. Easy meal if a snake can get to them.

If you like Rabbit as i do you can buy Frozen Rabbits at Makro, i have been buying them for years and they are very good.
