illegal and they have worms

really...they are not your rabbits, they are mine and yours and everyone elses in the US (or your state)
NOT rabbit season, you don't have a hunting lisence for them, and all kinds of other reasons...

plus they are FULL of worms...trust me...

....buy rabbits...

*(even though the guy you get them from might have them outside and they might have worms too)LOL

........really...not cool to do anyways......

.....we all like bunnies too.....I feed mine oats in the yard all winter....

...good luck.

......they take over?......they are in our yards because farming has been pushed to till and reap every inch of all crops..there is nothing left for nature....no where to hide even let alone eat.......I have up to 5 rabbits and 9 squirrels in my yard at a time during winter months.....yet go into woods and walk...see alot less...

anyways........just letting people know .....

have fun.....watch the dog

Like previously mentioned each state has different laws as far as hunting and trapping, if they are in season there isn't an issue leagally. However wild animals most likely contain parasites...

Its best to purchase from a reputable breeder...

Here in texas, during the correct season, many of my friends and i go to these 'organic' crop fields, and useing solid .22's and a head shot harvest as many rabbits as is legal under each of our bag limits. We then individually bag the rabbits in heavy duty zip lock bags, put the date on them, and freeze them for 6-8 weeks in a chest freezer while we feed off the remainder of the old stash of rabbits. I have never had a problem with parasites, nor have my friends.
