Belinda Has Passed Away.

Unfortunately Betty’s life long pal Belinda died very suddenly at the vets in July. We presume that she had a heart attack. It was very sudden and came as a great shock. Both these goats were very overweight when they came to us and we are still battling with Bettys weight. Betty needs a friend possibly of a similar age and size. She is a lot better now but grieved for quite a while after the loss of Belinda and would not stop looking for her and bleating. We really felt for her. She is an 8 year old Pygmy goat and does not like small children. She also doesn’t like hairy little pigs by the name of Rocky and they have developed a real love, hate relationship in recent weeks.

    Swan Rescue

    Another swan rescue today. We get understandably frustrated by the number of calls we receive for waterfowl caught up in carelessly discarded fishing hooks and line, in most cases we cannot help as we simply don’t have the resources to help or the birds are inaccessible on or close to water. Today we managed to…

  • Breeding Like Rabbits!!

    The term ‘breeding like rabbits’ has a lot of truth! Sadly by the time many people have realised this it is far too late.  A female rabbit has the ability to become pregnant again straight after she has given birth.  The gestation of a rabbit is only approximately 30 days so perhaps you can see…

    Meet Horace and Roland – The Cruelty Case Rescued Pigs

    Until now, these two guys have lived an appalling life, they are extremely obese and have lived in a small and very muddy garden. These castrated male Kune Kune pigs  are so obese that they can barely move, its very likely that they have been fed too much of an inappropriate diet and not had space to exercise and enact normal pig behaviour. All…

This buzzard arrived late Wednesday evening after being found grounded. She was very weak and thin and obviously had a wing injury. After a short examination, we left her to destress overnight with food. Subsequently we have confirmed that she has a…
