Is it worth processing mini lops?

Only if you really like the taste of rabbits and you're cooking for one.

When we had mini lops, we butchered them at 12 weeks. By then the cuteness factor that helped them sell started wearing off. So my dh , who sells them for me. would give them back and I would put them in the freezer.

But I wouldn't pourposely buy them as breeding stock for meat rabbits.

Mini Lops can be quite meaty little buggers. They do have the "compact" body type, which is basically a meat-bearing body type the same as the "commercial" body type, but are just too small to qualify for the commercial meat industry. As "fryers," however, they would be pretty small. A roaster or stewer would be a better use for this breed.
