Meet Tanya, she is an 8 week old Californian/ New Zealand mix who will be taking place for her mother, Peekaboo, in our breeding program 😀 She looks so amused doesn't she lol. She is so sweet, but feels the same as I do about getting her picture taken 🤣🤣

I am SOOOOOO EXCITED to introduce our newest breeders to the rabbitry!!! Connie ( 8 week old standard Rex rabbit, Blue Otter coloring), Crystal (8 week old standard Rex rabbits, Opal Otter coloring), and Merle (12 week old standard Rex rabbit, Blue Otter coloring).
Thank you very much to 4R Rabbitry for producing stunning, show quality, purebred Rex rabbits!!!! They are the sweetest and softest rabbits I have ever encountered. If you haven't held a Rex rabbit before, you definitely need to put it on your bucket list or better yet let one, or 2 or 3, hop into your life 😆 you won't regret it❤️🐇

Eliza Jane is an amazing woman and a true inspiration!!! It IS a lost art and her posts give you much to think about. Thank you, Eliza ❤️🙏

I was once told in the comment section, that the only reason I raise meat rabbits is because my “husband is too CHEAP to provide grocery money”……
A huge laugh for me and those who actually know him, followed by utter shock, because that lady truly believed I could just eat meat from from the store, to spare the animal.
I understand that home butchery is hard for people, because it’s an art we are losing and many don’t grow up exposed to. When I was little, my family was always growing, dispatching and processing their own food. I knew from a very young age that if chickens didn’t lay, they were turned into soup, that when my dad brought home piglets, they would be harvested and we would have bacon and hams. Everyone worked in our homestead together to provide, and I wasn’t shocked by seeing a live animal dispatched. Many have moved away from home harvesting because of convenience, laws and state regulations. But for the majority it’s easier for someone else to raise the animal and take that animals life, because you don’t feel anything buying a faceless package of meat that been shipped around the country or even world, and because people have no connection or knowledge to tend livestock. If you’re eating meat straight off a grocery store shelf, how can you comment, “Ewww, Grossss, Go to the store! I can’t believe you eat that!”, to someone raising, harvesting, providing local sustainable food?
You’ll always see me posting this process, because education, on all fronts is something I refuse to lose.
And I encourage you to keep rearing livestock, teaching those who need guidance, passing down valuable traditions and honoring those lives who sustain us.
