Disclaimer: This post contains nothing new for anyone who has ever kept rabbits - but if you haven't, it might really be worth a try. We were surprised by how easy it is to raise rabbits as a source of animal protein and manure.
Two months ago, u/Appropriate_Cut_3536 made a post here, detailing his experiments with meat rabbits kept in a more "natural" setting, and a lot of what they said resonated with our own efforts - although we don't have meat rabbits but a random breed of "common rabbits" that we found at the local market by chance.
Our setup is a lot less professional, but as our experience shows it's still well worth the effort, especially for smaller projects.
We do small-scale, low-input, low-effort tropical permaculture in Southeast Asia, and just started keeping rabbits about a year ago - the following blog post contains our experiences so far (tl;dr at the end).
