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?

"Survive" or thrive? *People* can survive on significantly inadequate
diets, 'though not grass clippings. There are plenty of references and
books on 'raising rabbits for fun and profit'. If "wasting time" on
lawn chores is a concern, you should be aware that rabbits take a fair
amount of labor to feed, house, and nurture.

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

Sad.

Why do you think that it is sad? These chickens are supposed to do
well in freezing cold weather. Think about it, each has a good
down/feather jacket on her.
