Yes please. Brief details only! (My local butcher had them
for sale at the weekend).

I presume you can cook them like wild rabbit or hare.


More like rabbit, but gamier. Despite the close relationship of
rabbits and hares, the need to be treated entirely differently in
cooking. Rabbit is almost a "white" meat; hare is precisely the
converse.

I once made a casserole of young rabbit and squirrel - that worked
well.
