Nevaeh Rabbitry & Rescue

11/08/2026

I have two younger junior Rex kits that have me considering offering publicly to a P E T/companion only homes in the near future. Pictures coming sometime before next week, as we battle this heat in south eastern NC.

** Understand, these animals will not go with pedigrees, and should NOT be bred (failed quality assessments in some form- some issues minor while others can hinder quality of life or physical capabilities depending on severity.) My goal isn't to hold our breed back or line couches and shelters with companion animals. **

I told myself I wouldn't let too many of my Rex go to pet homes, because I'm raising them for not only structure that follows breed standard or hardy health-- but as a dual purpose animal that firstly fits multiple needs for my homesteading lifestyle. Whether they pass quality assessments with age or not, they're still loved and serve a purpose for me.

With that said, I highly encourage everyone to NOT expect this of me offering my Rex often to pet homes. 😅 The Rex breed doesn't make these tougher judgement calls easy-- They're quite an intelligent and sweet medium to larger breed. From their smarts, to short and soft dense coat that feels like the softest velvet cloud, they're overall a laid back and tolerant breed that will forever be a heart breed.

At this time, I know for certain that one will be offered for a short period as a companion quality animal, most likely two (buck and doe).. But this is subject to change at any time. I have also made my selections on their remaining three siblings to grow out for brood/show potential to work towards my herd goal. I'll evaluate my holdbacks after they grow up some more and I can confidently decide which two will permanently remain in my herd... Third might decide to uno reverse and wow me as worthy to stay also (and if not, maybe offered to another Rex breeder who could use the addition to their herd).

Pics coming by next week at the latest for any interested parties.

In the meantime, I sincerely hope everyone is staying cool in this icky heatwave!

Courtesy post for a client:

Male Lionhead/Lop mix
Birthday is 12/17/21, born in Hawaii (Oahu), he's a lion head-lop mix. He's fixed, microchiped, has had regular vet visits, and is litter box trained. He does great as a single rabbit and it's not recommended to try and bond with any other rabbits (two bond failures). When he's a single rabbit, he loves his humans and will groom you and cuddle with you, on his terms.

INDOOR ONLY home, as a single rabbit not bonded. No amount of space changes his mood swings towards others. He LOVES his humans, however. Easy to handle for the most part.

Reach out and I can put you in contact!

Located in Hope Mills, NC, between Fayetteville and Lumberton

Possible hold back red Rex buck. My favorite out of the current litter. Grandsire was Georgia/Sugars Tennessee on dad's side and mom a nice Gerlach doe.

Will hopefully get to show these guys in Aiken in August

I broke my phone screen recently, so forgive the temporary ones potato-ness.

It's with a heavy heart that I post this. Probably haven't sobbed this ugly since losing my own parent in 2024..

Georgia's/Sugar's Tennessee, my phenomenal and well loved broken red Rex herd buck passed between Wednesday night and Thursday morning. I have one son who just isn't the same, and access to his beautifully marked brother. Hoping my doe from Gerlach's took to him a 2nd try. In my 11 years in this hobby, I have yet to even see broken animals as beautifully painted as their last and first litter together-- but being a first time mom, she failed to feed. I had them paired together for a short while and hope she indeed took again. Regardless, I am heartbroken. Yet again, I wanted to throw the towel in... But this is the life of a breeder, I know. I am bummed and quite frankly in doubt that any others will ever be able to compare to him type wise for the variety but most importantly, in temperament. My sweet boy is hopefully resting easy. My heart, not so much. The rabbitry suffered a big setback with that, but slowly I will keep pushing through and forward. (Pic credit his original breeder, farm and rabbitry-- I didn't have the motivation to scroll for personal pics)

I have no availability in rabbits at this time!
After dealing with fertility issues for a while, the curse has been lifted as I switched back to an old feed that ALWAYS had my rabbits being heavily praised for their condition and coats. Pro Heritage feeds (previously Bartlett) is currently working some wonders over here yet again. I have 1 red litter of Rex on the ground, born days ago. Give me 12-16 weeks to start deciding who stays, goes, and hits the chopping block. They are out of my broken red herd buck going back to Gerlachs, and a direct nicely rufused Gerlachs doe I brought in last year.

UPDATE AND OFFERSSS!!

I will be set up with critter supplies (crates/kennels, bowls, name brand new collars, durable dog herding jolly ball, reptile light hoods/lamps, 1 terrarium, anddd possibly offering one red Rex buck up for local grabs) ANDDDD offering COMPETITIVELY priced nail trims for rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, other pocket pets and exotics as well as my favorite-- kitty cats! Ten bucks per nail trim a critter, or discounts/group rates after 3 animals. This is happening tomorrow in Cedar Creek at Big Farmers Warehouse. I will probably arrive early.

I will gladly accept trades/barters for laying hens, jumbo quails, turkey hens, pigeons, and maybe other things! Doesn't hurt to ask if you would rather barter than pay cash.

~~~ It has been a NICE two days here recently despite the cold.. Got nail trims done and thorough health checks on the rabbit herd. ~~~

First is my favorite and current tort buck, Henry's Cow.

Next is a homegrown cream out a red doe named Ember from Gooden Fluffy Hollands, and my late chin herd buck who was bred by Henry’s holland rabbitry and sired by the amazing late Cammacks Sargent Pepper (best chin to walk the earth if you ask me). She's a crazy girl with higher energy than most, but probably a favorite. Might have to show her soon.

Next is a homegrown red Rex buck. Still nameless. I might offer him for a new herd in the future (I am locally currently, but am indecisive and despite his early peak and flaws, he is a wide handful with AMAZING back feet that turned out better than his dam's). Nice, wide, and nicely furred. He's a thick boy. I really just dislike his s**t and weak ear base-- he thinks he's half Lop.

Carrot Cake is an F1 Holland/Thrianta I use in my red Holland project, and for freezer filler babies. I adore this girl to the moon and back. She comes from Gooden Fluffy also. I adore her type as a cross-- she really reminds me of the cylindrical European rabbit breed structures, which I love 🤣

A new broody dilute tricolor Rex doe that I'm ecstatic to start tris up with!

Finally last bun is a doe that is probably beyond grand champion eligible, but I never followed through as life got in the way. She comes from another amazing supporter and friend who I could not thank enough, Nora Anne. Chunky still has yet to give me babies though 🤦‍♀️💀 I swear I'm giving her one or two more tries and then I'm gonna reclaim cage space. She is a sweet girl nonetheless, and a cutie!

Confetti, my yard puppy (I mean-- turkey) and Cheddar the adventure cat for your pleasure also!

Waiting on litters to drop any day now!

Hehehe.. And so it begins, show BEWs with this adorable fox bred by my dear friend Brooke Marsh who I hopefully get this upcoming week (photo credit to her, I'm beyond thrilled for BEW again). It goes back to my sister rabbitry at Gooden Fluffy Hollands, and a beautifully marked dilute tricolor Rex doe for the Rex program that I scored rather locally. I can't wait to expand in to show tricolor this year, especially for pelting purposes.

If animal welfare was really the priority, effort would be placed on education, husbandry, genetics, and long term quality of life. Instead, most of the noise is aimed at people who are actually doing the work.

It’s easier to shame a breeder than to learn why selective breeding exists. It’s easier to scream “save them all” than to understand why some animals should never be bred again. It’s easier to call someone heartless than to sit with the reality that suffering isn’t always kinder than death.

Ethical breeders don’t get the luxury of distance. We see the births. We see the failures. We see what bad genetics look like over time. We make decisions based on responsibility, not optics. Not because it feels good. Because it’s necessary.

Rescue culture often praises survival at any cost while condemning anyone who talks honestly about outcomes. Vegan activism often ignores the systems it relies on while moralizing individual farmers. And anti breeders rarely show up when it’s time to feed, clean, pay, euthanize, or make the call no one wants to make.

Animals are not symbols. They are living beings with needs, limits, and consequences tied to human choices.

Caring about animals means being willing to be uncomfortable. It means understanding that ethical does not always look soft. It means accepting that stewardship requires discernment, not sentiment.

If that truth makes someone angry, it usually isn’t because it’s wrong. It’s because it removes the illusion that caring is easy.
