breeding rabbits

[andrea]

if this has been asked way too many times and you guys are tired of answering it, let me know and i'll try to find the thread when i have time.
i recently asked about breeding rabbits for our burm, just for our snakes, ya know, in another forum. i was promptly made to feel stupid.
we currently have a rabbit. i know how to take care of them, i raised them for 4H as a kid. the rabbit we have is a pet for my four year old daughter, and my three year old son wants a boy one. they watch us feed, even kill the rats and mice for the snakes and have no problem with it. they know the snakes have to eat, too. i was wondering if it was not proper to breed the two pet rabbits and use their babies as food. this may sound stupid, but it just didnt seem wrong to me. both kids want pet rabbits. our burm will be eating them before too long. seemed economical, hehehe.
also, anyone who has done this, any info you could give on it would be appreciated. i know how to take care of a few rabbits at a time but never bred them.
