The wards were purposively selected. A descriptive survey method was employed to 85 smallholder rabbit farmers identified through snowballing method. Results confirm that rabbits are kept mainly for consumption purposes, as66% of the rabbits produced were consumed and only 34% were sold. The major challenges faced by farmers in producing and marketing rabbits were inadequate extension services, inadequate feeds, lack of markets and some religious beliefs. Farmers do not normallymarket their rabbits and anysurplus rabbits are sold to neighbours and local markets onwilly-nilly basis, no marketing strategies are employed. There is the need for widespread awareness of the importance of rabbits by government, stakeholders and NGOs through the various media.
