Question
Are tame or pet bunnies as good to eat as wild bunnies? The guy I bought 2 white New Zealand      bucks off of says that he eats 2 or 3 per week is this good practice and are they safe to eat

Answer
Dear Shawn,

Generally speaking, all members of the same species are equally edible.  Some species are edible, others are toxic.  It depends on the species.  But if one member of a species is edible, then all of them are.

For example, you would be quite as tasty as any of your siblings, if properly prepared.
