Considerations. The most common organisms in the normal bacterial flora that inhabits the large intestine are anaerobes (Bacteroides, gram-positive rods, and gram-positive cocci), gram-negative enteric organisms, and Enterococcus faecalis. Using differential selective media and enrichment cultures, normal flora can be differentiated.
Rabbits by nature are cold weather animals. They can easily tolerate temperatures at 32 degrees Fahrenheit or lower providing they have shelter from the wind and wet conditions. They have trouble tolerating temperatures above 85 degrees Fahrenheit and must be kept out of direct sun light during the summer months.
Cooking. 1  Oven temperature no lower than 325 Â°F (162 Â°C), when roasting rabbit parts. 2  A 2-pound, cut-up rabbit should take approximately 1 hour to cook. 3  A whole, 2- to 2 1/2-pound rabbit should take about 1 to 1 1/2 hours to roast. 4  Stuffing it will add approximately 1/2 hour to the cooking time.
