Rabbits are absolutely adorable and can create significant income. They can be kept in simple hutches, requiring menial quantities of land. They eat a combination of store bought foods, and homegrown vegetables, weeds, and grass clippings.
Rabbits are prolific breeders, and can have up to 12 kits per litter, every 30 days!
Rabbit meat is very much in demand, as it is low in calories and high in protein. It is popular among the medical community, especially for people with heart disease who struggle eating other kinds of meat.
It’s not unusual to see rabbit meat sold for $8 per pound.
Not only that, but some people buy rabbit pelts to practice tanning, while others buy pelts to make hats, gloves, and coats. Since rabbit pelts can be difficult to find, they can attract prices of around $10 a piece.
High levels of nitrogen and phosphorus found in rabbit droppings make it a popular manure that’s in demand by gardeners, with this item selling for around $5 per pound.
With a rabbit family producing as much as one ton of manure per year, this can amount to a significant income.
