Rabbits
![<tg-em>Stewed Rabbit</tg-em> by [[John Howe]]](https://v6.elanillounico.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/John-Howe-Stewed-Rabbit.jpg)
Rabbits were long-eared, furry animals, also called 'coneys'.
In Third Age 2747, the game of Golf was invented in the Battle of the Green Fields when Bandobras Took cut the head off the Goblin King Golfimbul and his head flew through the air and went down a rabbit hole. After rescuing Thorin and Company the Eagles brought them rabbits to eat. On 7 March Third Age 3019 in northern Ithilien, Samwise Gamgee asked Gollum to bring him some food. Gollum brought him two small rabbits which Sam proceeded to cook, to Gollum's intense displeasure.
