The rabbit project teaches proper methods to care for rabbits as well as raising, breeding and marketing rabbits effectively. Rabbit projects include meat pens (terminal market production), breeding rabbits (breeding and raising rabbits desired for specific characteristics), and hobby or pet rabbits (used for companionship).
