Ernie was an excitable young lad.   He came back to us with his brother Eddie and were fighting so we had to split them up.  Ernie found a lovely home with a new female friend called Tilly.

Pickle Rehomed 30th August 09

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Pickle was a real little fluff ball.  He was born at the rescue centre when we took in a pregnant doe.   Pickle was rehomed with a neutered female doe. They seemed to get on well and we are confident that they will be the best of friends.

Katy (female) Reseved

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Age : 1-2 years
Breed : Lionhead
Bonded : No
Neutered/Spayed: No
Rescued: July 09

Katy is a lovely rabbit, used and abused by a breeder. Katy likes a good fuss and in time would get used to being handled.  Katy likes her hutch and bed to be just so – she gets very disgruntled by anyone trying to clean her out.  She has long fur around her bottom which needs regular checking,  we trim this fur as it seems to gather all manner of debris in it! Katy needs a nice male companion bunny.

Swan Rescue

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

This beautiful swan came to us from Shipley County Park. It had a fishing hook lodged into its body.

Following a trip to the vets to have the hook removed, it is now recuperating in a pen on antibiotics and painkillers.

Hand Rearing Squirrels

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

On 20 August we had three very young squirrels delivered to us, these were found by a member of the public that had disturbed them whilst cleaning a chimney. Unfortunately the mother left her three babies and was too frightened to return.

We are now hand rearing all three, this is very time consuming, feeding them every 3 hours and then mimicking all the natural motherly actions, like teaching them to go to the toilet after feeding. (more…)
