Bunnies!!!

The past few weeks, we've been breeding bunnies.  We have 4 does and so far we've bred:
Bunny #1 on 5/16
Bunny #2 on 5/23
Bunny #3 on 5/30

We will breed Bunny # 4 on 6/6. 

Bunnies have a 30-day gestation, so Bunny #1 should have babies on or around 6/15 and the next three weeks, we should have a litter from the others.  An average size litter is 6-10 kits.  Over the next 1 1/2 months, we'll potentially have around 40 more bunnies to raise, which will be for meat.  We've both only had rabbit in restaurants - we've never had it fresh, nor have we ever cooked it ourselves, so I'm anticipating some experimenting will need to be done.  Hope we like rabbit!
