We raised rabbits during our isolation from the "system" for a year in the woods of Northern Arizona. For food purposes, no source of income beyond the $450 per month the buyer of our home in Phoenix was paying us. Land and car payment ate $376 of that, so we bought very little. My wife had studied up on rabbits for food purposes. One amazing fact was, when a brood of babies was born, any foreign odor detected by the mother rabbit caused immediate desertion of the baby by the mother! You dared not even get close to that litter! Frank
