Bunnies

I just bought a pair of rabbits! I got them at the Catholic Mission in Garoua, where they raise and sell rabbits. After running loose in my concession for about a week (and eating so many of my plants!) they are now housed in the old goat shed. Im hoping that they will have some babies, so that I can give the babies away in pairs (as long as their not all males or females) to people in village, teaching them rabbit raising basics. It seems to me that if they do well, rabbit could be a good household meat alternative to chickens, especially as chickens run loose here and easily acquire sicknesses (yearly a disease sweeps through the village and kills that majority) or are stolen. If rabbits can be housed in a small but clean area, and produce, there is less risk of theft, and spreading of disease. And I am just enjoying how cute they are!
