h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I ate rabbit in Granada last year. The Spanish do a Menu of the Day which is very cheap if you let them choose what you eat - when they throw in wine as well, it's only a couple of pounds more expensive than the wine on its own, so it's always worth a gamble on it being edible. Anyway, it was rabbit on this particular evening, and it came out drench in enough oil to power a small KFC restaurant, and the meat was astonishingly tough yet fatty, and powerfully gamey. E tucked in like some flipping banderillero, while I nibbled at the accompanying tomato. Still, the wine was ok.

Our young lady is being kept outside, but we bring in her for a run-about as we don't have a run yet. And yes, E is getting pretty nifty around the dining room table, and we struggle to catch her now Toffee has quite a funny habit of hiding behind the curtains when we're trying to get her back; she realises that she can get out either end, but hasn't worked out that she can get out by running underneath it yet.

I'll put the photos - rabbit and Gambia - up on t'Internet as soon as I have them all sorted out, Webbie. I've got over 600 from the holiday, so they're taking rather a long time to sort out! I'm also up to capacity on the old photo account, so I'm going to move them to Picasa instead.

J's rabbits loved to have the run of the garden when we could be out there with them, but at the time I did have a very secure garden, and Buster, who wouldn't hurt a fly. Well, he would have hurt one if he could have caught one, but not a rabbit.

You can train them to a litter tray if you really want to. If you want some bubble wrap for the hutch if the weather gets really cold, I've still got all mine.

Rabbit stew Yum yum

I have lots of bubble wrap too; but if they eat it, vets bills cost more!

My rabbits couldn't reach the outside of their hutches from the inside, strangely enough.

WE have a rabbit too her names Blue ,she's a small brown type about 5 years old now and lives both in the house and outside in a run .She has a carrot everyday plus dry food and I go out to pick various greens for her a two or three times a day .I was a bit surprised to read that you had bought a hutch I thought they were usually hand made all the ones I remember were .
Blue only comes out in the house under supervision because she goes straight for any /all electric cables in the house ,she also gets on well with our toy poodle but I woudn't leave them alone together
