Curriculum and Resources

  • 4-H Members

Want to do a 4-H Animal Project but think you don’t have enough space to raise an animal? The rabbit project is a great way to get involved no matter where you live. You’ll learn about the basics of how to care for a rabbit, including proper nutrition, and you can even show your rabbits.

You will experience the full process of selecting, feeding, breeding, and marketing rabbits. You will also learn public speaking, leadership, and community service through caring for rabbits.

There are three project options:

  1. Market Rabbit Project- In this project you will learn how to breed and raise rabbits for meat
  2. Rabbit Breeding Project- This project will involve breeding and raising rabbits for desired or unique characteristics
  3. Pet Project- Maintain rabbits as pets in this project

All information about the three project options can be found in the Rabbit Project Reference Manuel.
