Eric and Callene Rapp are the owners of Rare Hare Barn in Leon,
Kansas where they raise rare breed Heritage rabbits. Eric and
Colleen are both extremely dedicated to the care and preservation
of rare domestic species. Callene has a degree in agriculture and
has been on the board of the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy
since 2003. She also holds the title of senior zookeeper at the
children's farm at the Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas. Eric
had also worked at the zoo up until February of this year when he
left his job to care for the rabbits at their own farm full time.
Eric's passion for rabbits started on the farm that he grew up on.
Eric and Callene began raising rabbits about four years ago for the
main purpose of providing their family with high quality, healthy
and great tasting protein.
Eric and Callene raise their rabbits in the most humane way
possible making sure that the rabbit pens are large enough to allow
the animals to move around and get exercise as well as stand up and
stretch. The barn has plenty of windows that provide a nice view as
well as ventilation and air circulation to assure that the rabbits
are always cool and comfortable.
Eric and Callene truly enjoy how engaging the rabbits are. Each
morning Eric brings the rabbits fresh greens from the garden,
usually kale. According to Callene as soon as the rabbits see Eric
coming with the greens they get all excited and start thumping
around. Aside from the garden greens the rabbits have access to hay
and are given a supplement of grain-oat pellets to enhance their
diet. These rare breed rabbits are never fed any growth stimulants,
antibiotics or animal by-products of any kind.
