    Try a zoo near your area the zoo where im from buys them for 1.25euro a rabbit but you hand your rabbits in during the month and at the last week of the month they send ya a cheque to your door or they put it into your bank account for the months total,but all they ask is that u gut them, they also prefer that there frozen but they take them frozen or not.

    They will take them in Wicklow and Meath all year round. Spoke to them both. The guy in Wicklow will take 500 to 1000 at a time.

    Anyone in the West buying rabbits?

    this may be a far out shot, have your tried reptile shops? Most snake shops order rabbits for their bigger snakes:D Try reptile heaven in fishamber street dublin?

    The issue is that to sell the rabbits, one party in the transaction has to be a licensed game dealer. If it were to be a donation, there may be laws or policies covering the sourcing of food for the animals, or just contracts which the shop is happy to keep with, so selling them there isn't likely to be an option.
