Sorry if this sounds rude, but most of these answers are wrong.

Commercial breeders can and do make money raising rabbits. And that does not mean they are not doing it "right." There are responsible breeders out there. In fact, as a breeder I can tell you most are very responsible and care about the welfare of their animals.

It's not a lot of money, but it's possible to break even showing rabbits and selling them and sometimes make a small profit even. I raise rabbits to show, not make money. But I cannot keep every animal and I do make money selling them.

If you are wanting to make more money, you can open a commercial rabbitry and make maybe $25,000 or so a year.

Whatever you do, be responsible with the animals and treat them with dignity and respect no matter what they are raised for, show, pets, fur, meat, etc.

Answer 4

Pet rabbits are worth very little on the market.
Meat rabbits are worth very little on the market.

Show rabbits can be worth a lot of money, but to get one good show rabbit, you have to raise thirty pet rabbits and find homes for them. (If you are ethical.) Unethical breeders dispose of unwanted rabbits throug various methods. We find homes for each ome, which requires more time and money than you will ever make.

We raise rabbits as a hobby and make sure each one has a good life/good home to the best of our ability. There is no profit to be had, even when we sell a rabbit for $200, you have much more invested in getting to that quality of rabbit and even more invested in finding the right home.

If you want to make a little money, make cages, carriers, or nest boxes or shirts or other things rabbit breeders might like and take these things to shows. Rabbit breeders will most likely buy these things than a rabbit from an unknown breeder and to find home for unwanted, mixed breed rabbits is a challenge.

Answer 5

Not really... Not in the home environment anyways. You need to have enough cages for each rabbit to have their own, which can be expensive (or time consuming if you build them yourself). And you need to make sure that all the rabbits are recieving proper care, and feeding, watering them and cleaning water bottles, and cleaning cages for multiple rabbits can take a lot of time and energy (Believe me, I've had 9 rabbits at the same time at one point.) Also, you need to be sure you will be able to find people willing to buy them and who will take care of them.
It's more trouble than it's worth. Cashwise anyways.

Answer 6

You can make money breeding just about anything if you do it irresponsibly. Please check out petfinder.com and look up bunnies in your area before you consider breeding them. Chances are, there are tons of homeless bunnies in your area. Even those who arent' homeless are generally kept in small outdoor hutches with little interaction. Please don't add to the madness.

If you want to breed something, try hamsters. At least their life expectancy is shorter, so there don't seem to be too many homeless ones. Just be sure to check with local pet stores in your area to make sure they'll even buy them.

No matter what you decide to breed (if you decide to at all), you should take time to socialize them well so they make good pets. Nobody wants a rabbit or hamster (or anything else) that isn't used to being handled. Breeding good pets is harder than it sounds.

Answer 7

It may sound mean, but my nana had a huge outside pen and 3 bucks and 6 does ( male and female rabbit terms) and they quickly reproduced, into over 500 rabbits. Until you get up to that number you can't really make that much money off of them. she took them to a meat market and her rabbits were huge mind you, gianormus, and they sold really high, nearly $15 to $25 a rabbit. I can't say how much she spent of feed for all of them, because she also had tons of chickens, geese, and ducks that she raised and sold. but eventually it will cost more to raise them in the long run. she went broke and had to sell all the rabbits to make up for the money she lost.

Answer 8

If you live near a city, you might find one or more grocery stores or fancy restaurants that buy rabbit meat.
It's important to find a cheap source of pellets, cut nest fatality as low as possible, and feed the youngsters to market weight and slaughter them quickly. Five pounds is a good weight.
Rabbits are rarely too profitable. Try ducks, chickens, turkeys, etc.

Answer 9

If you are thinking of breeding them for pets, I think not. There are always lots of houserabbits waiting to be adopted. Look at all the adoption sites for the House Rabbit Society chapters around the country at:
