The reason you've found nothing is because it depends on so many different factors. It CAN work, but it can fail a lot quicker.

hahaha, now that part is funny. Boy it would be awesome if you could make money doing ANYTHING with only an hour a day of work. You can't leave animals to their own devices for 23 hours a day. You need to be there to observe them, so you can recognize when something isn't right. You need to be there when they decide to escape and go on a walkabout. When they have birthing problems or they're sick or a predator comes sniffing around.
It's like asking "can I reap all the benefits of having a child if I just have it and put it in daycare 23 hours a day? I don't want to handle the details." If you don't want to be involved with the details and don't want to personally do the work, you shouldn't have kids OR animals.
Sorry, I know that's not the answer you're looking for.
