Charlie Rehomed 31 Jan-09

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Charlie was such a friendly little lad. Neutering him didn’t seem to calm down his energy levels – you couldn’t pass him by without him demanding some fuss.  We will miss him loads but we are pleased that he found a happy home with Sparkles a female bunny.  The gorgeous little pair went to live with one of our wonderful vet nurses.  The news is that Charlie has become Hector – he looks like a ‘Hector’ too!charlie1

This week is ‘Rabbit Week’

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

We always make sure that all of our rabbits go to homes where they will live with at least 1 other rabbit. Rabbits are not solitary animals and in the wild live in large groups. (more…)

The Rex Brothers (male)

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

Breed : Rex
Neutered : Yes
Vaccinated : Yes
Bonded : Yes
Rescued : Dec 08
Age : 6 months

These boys are beautiful and so playful. They are quite skitty as they had not been handled and came from a breeder who nearly took them to a cattle market!!. We have named them Sonny, Sammie and Bobby. Bobby has a cataract in 1 eye but this has been checked by a vet during castration and will not pose any problems. Bobby is able to see his food and appears to be able to find his way around fine. These boys will need to go as a trio. Can you offer a home to this little trio? Rexes need soft flooring as they can easily get sore feet. Here they are bedded on straw and in the summer will go out on the lawn.

Benjemima Rehomed 15 Jan-09

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

Benjemima came to us as an unwanted house rabbit that had been neglected. She was very small and sweet, she made a lovely companion for a neutered buck called Bobby.  We hope they will get on and that Bobby will share all those tunnels and his digging box!
