You can put fat on a rabbit if you go heavy on the feed. I have butchered some that were way over fed as show rabbits and it caused them not to be successful breeders. I was just saying that it may be another alternative if someone had the capabilities to breed a few to add with their regular raw meat diet for their dogs. I wasn't saying that it should be strictly an all rabbit diet. Maybe I should have worded it differently. I'm sorry. Thanks, Michele in WV

There is hardly NO FAT on rabbit meat if you grow them out right. Just keep in mind that fat is needed in a dog's diet. So, a diet of only very lean rabbit could cause issues. But, I find it a wonderful addition to a small dogs' diet because they are able to eat the bones which isn't the case in beef, etc. -- Kelly
