I asked this question in misc.rural already, but want to run it by a few
more people. Can meat/fur rabbits survive if they are being fed a diet
that is mostly lawn clippings? I am upset that I waste so much time and
lawn grass due to all this mandatory lawn trimming, and am thinking about
having rabbits between months of May/October, or some such, and feed them
lawn trimmings. will it work?

Yes, certainly it will work. Raise a litter of large rabbits and raise
them on grass clippings. Slaughter most of them in fall for food.
Keep your core breeding animals to raise a couple more litters next
year.


I already own two chickens and they are doing great, even in -5F weather,
in an unheated shed.
