We have a cute little pet bunny.
We feed him grass, clover, persimmons, corn, kiwi, apple, black haw berries and twigs, willow, and autumn olive berries. He always has food available. When we eat any raw fruit or veggie he gets to try it.
The other day when we were eating our elk burgers Bunny was at his crate door with his nose poked out and twitching. My son took a small piece of burger over to him. Bunny snatched the meat and quickly ate it.  He wanted more, so we gave him another small piece, which he ate. The next day was more elk burger, as soon as it was on the table bunny poked his nose out wanting some. Yesterday he asked for fried chicken gizzard, he ate two pieces. Today it was deer tenderloin. This is just too bizarre.
We have an omnivore rabbit.

Sounds like the beginning of one of those low-budget movies they show Saturday evening on the SyFy channel. 
Night of the Lepus anyone?

And here I thought you had gotten tired of your pet rabbit and decided to feed it to your dogs.
I spent a week one summer at the AB Chance company in Centralia. That is a pretty little town you have there.

Centralia's not that small, there are smaller towns around, like Rowena with it's six houses and a church. I like my little town. 
I had a mini lop rabbit years ago named Cricket. When he was quite young he started humping my dog. I got him neutered to fix the problem. He grew up to be 25lb. He developed the nasty habit of attacking me when I opened his hutch (he never ate meat, maybe he wanted to). So I ate him.

I wasn't insulting Centralia, I really did think it was pretty. I just live in Phoenix so all towns are little towns to me. We went to dinner at a really cool steakhouse in Columbia one night and my rental car got creamed by a hit and run driver. Wish I could remember the name of that steakhouse, it had some of the best steaks ever and you cooked them yourself around some large open grills.
A mini rabbit that weighed 25lbs. I would sure hate to see the regular sized version.

25lbs is a big French lop let alone a mini lop who if my memory serves is normally in 6-8lb range. Holland lops are the little guys.

Alan, I didn't think you were insulting Centralia. I know the steak house you are referring to, they are closed now, they did have good steaks.
When I bought little Cricket I was told he was a mini, I figured out pretty quickly that he was not a mini. He just kept getting bigger and bigger.

Yikes! Sounds like you have a German import http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6865800
If you bought your bunny from a pet store, they only sell rabbits that are “Mini” or “Dwarf”...really, no other breed exsists.  Sounds more like you have a giant breed of rabbit, French lops are the largest in the lop group, ears down, Flemish Giant or Giant Chin carry ears up. In the 25 lb. range, an over fed Flemish! Mine have been in the 15 pound range.
Some rabbits will eat meat, they’ll try anything, but they don’t digest it properly. If you feed him too much, he will get sick. Your dogs may not have a problem with this, that’s a good size dinner!

Betty, I thought of that last night and gave him some, which he ate. We will see if it affects his peculiar tastes.
And yes, Tammy, I got the giant mini rabbit from a pet shop. lol
And the current omnivore rabbit has only gotten garbonzo bean size pieces. I was reluctant to let him have very much.
