🌎Celebrating World Reptile Day🌎
by taking a moment to recognize our scaley and shelled friends who play a vital role in ecosystems around the planet. Over 10,000 species exist on our blue planet and their habitats are constantly being threatened and destroyed. This is why it’s important to give voices to the often overlooked creatures who hold ecological importance to our planet. Be kind to all creatures 🐍🐢🦎🐊

🐇Rabbitry Update:
Raya (NZ) had 10 kits over Thursday night. One passed at birth, but the other 9 are doing well. ❤️
Muffin’s (rex) 4 kits are 3 weeks old and thriving. 🤎

Like any homestead/farm, we are constantly learning and growing. But we are proud of our rabbitry and our newly acquired skills. Something about feeding your family nutrient dense food you raised yourself just hits different. 🥘
