statement before, but there is a comparison between the two that is worth noting. The wild rabbit is not as regular in his habits as the hutch rabbit under proper care. Consequently, it does not develop into the animal that the hutch rabbit does. If you do not believe this, get a couple of young wild rabbits, put them in hutches and feed them regularly along with your other stock, and when they are matured note the difference between them and their wild brothers and sisters. There will be added weight, better appearance and a more upstanding look in their eyes. The only difference has been in care and attention.
The rabbit is the last animal on earth that can be neglected. If you are going to have social parties and trips away from home or outside duties that are apt to cause you to want to "skip" the daily fifteen minutes with the rabbits at the usual time, it is better to erase the idea of keeping rabbits from your mind.
