Or what about guinea pigs? They're a common meat source in the andes, called Cuy.

I can raise rabbits, chickens and pheasants here. I worry that my Pits and the resident fox would get more protein out of that arrangement than I would :P. I'm not sure my kids are ready to raise anything for the table yet, although DS's friend traps squirrels and things and cooks them. The ideal would be keeping chickens for eggs and goats for milk and cheese, but I'm not allowed to keep goats.

I think a better approach for now might be buying whole meat for our Sunday dinner (like a whole turkey) and then finding ways to use the entire bird for our meat for the rest of the week, and supplement that with non-meat proteins.
