These two guys need a life-long home. We originally rescued them almost two years ago, they were homed but due to a change in circumstances, they were returnded two us.

They currently share a field with 5 turkeys, two goats and a ram.
If you can offer them a home or would like to talk to us about the possibility, please get in touch.

Thank goodness, the vets who originally found them, decided they would not let this…
Many months ago we took in a beautiful hare, after weeks of bottle feeding, she started to eat solids. Eating on her own was such a relief for us, as she soon started to pile on the weight and it was an end to hours of bottle feeding, not easy when we both work for a living! Rearing baby…
