The boys were kept in a suburban house garden where they caused a mess and were given up by their owners. This is a story we hear far too often, people not doing their research before buying pets.

These two sisters are so sweet, they are friendly and love food, they are quite large ladies so any new owner will have to keep a check on their food intake and make sure they get plenty of exercise.

Can you offer these beautiful girls a great home for life?  Poor old Prudence and Matilda have been with us for quite a while now and deserve a forever home.  They could even be part of a bunny family if you have a lonely neutered buck.

Blue is a bit grouchy but she is a beautiful bunny.  She loves to dig very large tunnels and likes hiding down them when it is time to go in at night. She needs a buck who is willing to let her be the boss! She is adorable but growls quite a lot and doesn’t like being handled.  We are sure that in time she will become friendlier and with a neutered male friend she will become a lot calmer and approachable.

Motsy was found wandering around a local country park all on her own.  The poor girl may have been turfed out or may of just gone wandering.

Motsy found the best home ever with lots of room and 2 neutered male companions.  She was a bit aggressive and liked to box peoples hands but we are sure that she has found a fabulous home and one where she will be loved and can have a new start in life.

This guy is so cute and sweet, he is just yearning for a friend and a new home.  He is still only young and a spritely little lad.  Unfortunately he was given up because he fought with another buck.  He’d really appreciate a snuggle up with a lonely doe.

Peter came to us with a Guinea Pig companion. Rabbits and guinea Pigs should not be kept together, so unfortunately they had to be separated.

Peter now has two girlfriends, living in a summer house with a cat flap access to a patio where he can run around and get all of the exercise that rabbits need to stay healthy.

We get quite frustrated by the usual phone calls about pet pigs, but for once we received a call with a difference. Far too often we get calls from people who have bought piglets from a breeder, then several months later the pig is too large and destructive and they don’t want them any more and they end up at rescue centres like ours,  if only people did their homework!

Before rehoming any animal, we always ensure that the potental adopter is fully aware and capable of taking on the responsibility.

So back to the call, we want to rehome a pig we heard!, well Beth and I were amazed, we have never rehomed a pig yet, a week later and home checked, Penny is now living with Beetroot in a new home.

Penny herself was given up by her previous owner who bought her as a piglet from a breeder.
