I never gave a thought to rabbits in Britain. I enjoy the bits of history you dig up. A great Monty Python tie-in, by the way. Thanks.

Good episode, looks like you had a cool trip abroad.

[@allrounder7003]

Monks weren't allowed to eat meat but they could eat baby rabbits (known as laurices) as, not having fur or feathers, they weren't counted as meat. Hence they bred a lot of rabbits in inland areas where there wasn't much fish.

Is that why the holes and dens rabbits dig are called Warrens? Or is it vice versa?

[@MasonObscura]

I'm not sure which came first honestly...
