The war had resulted in butcher's meat being closely rationed, and there is no doubt that there would have been homes in which additional supplies would be warmly welcomed. Being a complete guide for rabbit-keeping, from the necessary space and hutch design, to feeding for plump carcasses, and even obtaining the wool from certain rabbit breeds.
