There are many advantages in having a small backyard rabbitry. One of them is that you could voice out your problems to them and they will not judge you. So if you happen to get into a fight with your hubby, or you lost in an argument, or you had a difference of opinion, just simply walk away and go into the rabbitry. There you can talk to the rabbits until you are blue in the face! Explain your side of the story and omit your hubby's side of the story of course and that should help to make you feel like the winner.
Seriously, this small backyard rabbitry is just one of my hobbies. We used to be able to raise pigs in the backyard back then when there were only a couple of houses here in the village. Now that the city has grown so fast, the local government has made an ordinance banning the raising of pigs in the city. This is because of the smell and the noise that is associated with a piggery. So if you want to raise some animals in your backyard in the city, go into rabbitry. They don't take up too much space unlike other small ruminants. They can stay confined in a small space but it should be adequate for them of course. They can eat all your vegetable trimmings too, so they are economical to feed as well. If you have a lawn and you are lazy to mow the grass, just release them there and they will do the work for you. If you have shrubberies around the property and you don't know where to throw these, just give it to them and they will solve the problem for you for free, they will eat them all within a matter of minutes. They are that efficient you see. If you have a small garden in the backyard like me, then you need not buy or use those chemical fertilizers because you already got "Green Gold" from the rabbits waste pellets. You can also use the rabbit's waste directly in the garden without burning the plants because these are considered as cold fertilizer and the best thing is, it is organic fertilizer. They are also a good source of protein with their lean white meat which is healthier than other kinds of meat. As long as you keep and maintain the sanitation in the rabbitry, the neighbors have no reason to complain. Since rabbits are not noisy, they can be kept in the backyard and the neighbors will not even know that you are raising them because they are really quiet by nature. They will not demand attention but they will still receive attention gratefully. Here are some pictures of the beauties in my small backyard rabbitry.
