Rabbit Meat
8 months and up
⚡ Quick answer
A lean and tender game meat, rabbit can be offered from about 8 months onward after it is thoroughly cooked and deboned.
How to serve it by age?
Serve the fully deboned, thoroughly cooked and softened meat as a puree/mash by mashing or finely shredding it.
You can give it in small, soft pieces within a vegetable dish or a soupy rice.
It can be served as part of the family meal in small, deboned bite-sized pieces.
🫁 Choking risk and safe serving
Its thin, sharp bones and fibrous texture pose a risk; carefully remove all bones and cook the meat until it is very tender, then cut it into small pieces or mash it.
📌 Watch out for these
- If it is game, make sure there are no shot/lead residues; source it from a reliable supplier.
- Remove bone fragments meticulously; the bones of tender game meat can break easily.
- Always serve it fully cooked; undercooked meat carries a risk of infection.
