2 New Arrivals

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

Meet Gerrard and Walter.

Today we had two pot-bellied pigs rescued from a pub. These two boisterous lads were exhibits at a pub in Ruddington, however when the pub was sold, the new land lord didn’t want these two, so now we have them and are looking for their next home.

Can you offer them the space and a good home for the rest of their lives?

 

 

 

 

Two baby Goats Rehomed – June 08

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

These two baby goats were a result of the milk industry, unwanted and were destined to become pet food. Fortunately we rescued them and they now live in a large garden in Gedling

Toffee Rehomed – May 08

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

toffeeLittle sweetie Toffee was another Ebay bunny. He came to us with his brother Tigger. They both went in to be castrated and tragedy struck – Tigger died under the anaesthetic. A reminder of how risky operations are for small animals. We were so sorry to hear about Tigger as neutering is such a routine operation these days and it is very very rare that we should lose a rabbit. Poor Tigger went to binky at ‘Rainbow Bridge’ but Toffee found a great new life with a girlfriend who certainly loved him quite a bit when she was introduced! I hope they are getting on ok now as there had been a scuffle between the two and they had to be separated for a while. Hopefully they will go on to make a happy couple. Rabbit speed dating never runs smooth but it usually works out in the end

Two Babies

Monday, May 26th, 2008

baby_boysWhen Hickory the harlequin rabbit came into us there was a strong possibility she was pregnant. She gave birth to this adorable couple amongst others. They found the perfect home not too far away and when we dropped them off at their new home they went about exploring their new toys and new house. A lovely couple adopted these 2 boys and we just know that they’ve found a great home.

We love these two, they are 4 years old and are a litle timid. They are just coming round to the thought of sniffing a hand but handling is out of the question at the moment, unless absolutely necessary so it is all going to be on their terms.

They devour dandelions and grass and that usually coaxes them out of a dark corner. They had been neglected by children, an all too familiar story but such a sad one. They are both litter trained now, if you are able to offer them a home and do a bit more handling then they would make great pets for someone as they truly do deserve one.

Fifi and Lola Rehomed – May 08

Saturday, May 24th, 2008

fifilola hope I’ve remembered their new names correctly! These 2 were also Hickory’s babies and went off to live in a fabulous palace. They are such a lovely pair of rabbits and when we took them to their new home they spent a long time exploring it and that was before they’d even discovered there was a big downstairs and a garden to explore too. Girls being girls they have become a bit territorial of their house but hopefully they are better now and have stopped grumbling, they don’t know how lucky they are.

Frankie Rehomed 1 Dec 09

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

Poor Frankie. He is an adorable and affectionate rabbit. He was dumped on somebody’s doorstep with his brother Sparky and had to have an emergency operation to remove a nasty, large lump. We are still not sure whether the lump was from the fact that Frankie had been fighting with his brother or whether it was a tumour. He is well on the mend and lives in the house with us. We have litter trained him and from day one he managed to negotiate the staircase and run off outside through an open door! He is a real cheeky rabbit with loads of character. At the moment we are either looking for a temporary foster home or a forever home with someone who will be able to give him the much needed attention he needs. Hopefully he will be castrated in a months time. Whether Frankie has a tumour or not he presently enjoys life to the full and loves human contact. We are desperately hoping that Frankie has lots of years ahead of him as he is still a young boy. He has been separated from his brother Sparky.

Delilah rehomed Rehomed – May 08

Sunday, May 18th, 2008

delilahWhen Delilah was here she was the ring leader for trouble and would dig tunnels galore. She’d suddenly emerge with filthy paws and face and have an air of innocence. She went speed dating with a lovely lop called Jacob. It wasn’t love at first sight but the fur didn’t fly so in true Delilah style we think she was playing hard to get. Jacob also showered her with lovely gifts on the day of the date!  She has found a perfect home with a perfect garden and we wish her and Jacob well, they made a lovely couple.
