I know KeeperBoy does it ground, I do it whole or close to whole (depending on the weight) but that is like "Christmas Dinner" for poor Rubes, she doesn't get it alot .

We're buying whole "dressed" rabbit now also. It's about 2 pounds a piece.

do you regularly serve rabbit? is it hard to get? i've only seen it at the grocers once last yr. Whole dressed means fur on??

Yes dressed means no fur, but all the bones and organs are in. The plan is to feed it whole (or whole-ish, since Boo only will get a tiny bit). They are expensive, we pay $10 for a dressed rabbit, which is 2-2.5 pounds. I'm thinking my two will get it Thanksgiving evening as a special treat.

Our supplier has them pretty frequently (simplepetfood.com).

Dh and his friends refer to the skinning and preparation of the rabbit as "dressing" and apparently they do a "dog dressing" or a "human dressing" so for the dogs they leave everything in there and do a rough skinning (and I say rough cause as you all know they left the fur on the feet the first time ) and for people they do a real good clean out of the organs, remove the head and such. I found this in some stuff Skinning and Dressing Rabbits
