You are r...Thank you for the encouraging comments. You are right in thinking the rabbits may be hard for us to eat. It's challenging to draw the line between pets and food sometimes. I would've chosen to keep the animals a lot further from our home if we used them for food, I think. <BR/><BR/>Americans eat mostly chicken also. Rabbits are eaten but, are not sold in major markets where we buy food. Rabbits are purchased directly from a farmer. That is where I got the two Californian rabbits.<BR/><BR/>I am hoping to teach others who live in urban areas that they too can build their soil through these practices and raise strong plants for food in a very small space.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02516007107983191206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719654853128172225.post-88835009991443689562008-11-02T15:15:00.000-06:002008-11-02T15:15:00.000-06:00I forgot to say that the idea of having red wiggle...I forgot to say that the idea of having red wigglers under the rabbit drippings is amazing! I love your way of thinking. I wish I had some farm to tray and go for such projects and experiment.Ashraf Al Shafakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13813620764143070326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719654853128172225.post-47774440022369624242008-11-02T14:39:00.000-06:002008-11-02T14:39:00.000-06:00This in amazing post packed with excellent informa...This in amazing post packed with excellent information. I did know about rabbit droppings yet the idea of it being better than cow (or in Egypt water buffalo) manure due to its not containing weed seeds did not cross my mind before and was something I did not know. Also it being fast to decompose and 'heal' was something I did not know either. Thanks a lot for this wonderful information.<BR/><BR/>In Egypt, eating rabbits is common and not shunned at although chicken is eaten much more often. I remember my cousins in Egypt used to have keep rabbits in their villa and when the rabbits grew, my cousins were children by then, they were unable to eat them because they simply played with them daily while their father kept them.<BR/><BR/>As an Egyptian living in Egypt, I've tasted rabbit meat many times and I find it tastes nice, a bit like chicken yet has a darker color. I guess to most Americans eating rabbit meat would feel like eating cats. Perhaps one should not force himself/herself into eating something he/she was not brought up to eat.Ashraf Al Shafakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13813620764143070326noreply@blogger.com
