I raised a few for meat and showing when I was a kid. One thing comes to mind is that the most efficient and complete feed ration you can get is pellets from the feed store. It gets cheaper if you buy a bunch, but it might get stale. I don't think I would try making my own ration, but it would be an excuse to grow some crops. Alfalfa, corn, soybean meal and oats run through a mill and mixed? Also, use all wire cages. None of those cutesy wooden ones. They hold moisture and disease. You might find a market for pelts, meat, and manure. I have considered getting a pair again and raise some just for my family to eat. Feed conversion is slightly better than chickens, I believe. And you don't have to pluck feathers off a rabbit. Best of luck to you! My email is open.
