Bottom line, rabbit meat requires added fat to meet the requirements for human survival. Just add a good quality fat, grassfed butter, or lard, etc.


We raise rabbits & they all do have fat, but I'm one of those people who don't like the taste of it so it goes to the chickens. I often cook rabbit with butter or olive oil, but I don't think lean meats need to have fat eaten with them to be healthful. If enough fat is eaten during the day, one can have a good tasting lean meat. And rabbit is one of those rare lean meats that actually taste good, unlike store-bought pork or many cuts of beef.

The best part of raising our own rabbits is getting the organs. I eat the kidneys & heart, husband & I fight over the liver - it is SO good!
