We would like to enter Pickle & Pepper.
Pickle & Pepper are two unrelated bonded neutered bucks. They are a year old and very gentle natured bunnies. They both love their pellets and herbs.
They came into the Rescue as their family had allergies and couldn't keep them. They are currently being fostered and we're hoping it won't be too long before they find their new forever home together. Pepper is the black bunny and Pickle is the white/grey boy.

We would like to enter this little kit, resting in Lou's cooking pot whilst being fostered from Windwhistle Warren earlier this year. Lou is on of our volunteers who couldn't resist taking on Mum and the 6 kits to take some of the burden from Alice, who has consistently had over 90 rabbits in the rescue for some time now. The kits were born on the 10th May after their parents were set free to fend for themselves on a football pitch! Happily, some kind person brought them both to Alice to be cared for. We are not really sure that they will continue to be fosters or whether Lou is going to fail as we have all done from time to time.

This poor little lady got caught in between 2 large tom cats - rushed to the vets straight in and her chances were very slim in shock remaining eye flicking and Caroline (the owner of the Warwickshire Rabbit & Guinea Pig SOS) covered in blood.
So stabilised at vets and collected to bring home to do critical care through the night, well she made the first night, so back to vets following day eye removed came out of the op very well and her chances were 50/50 every hour on the hour through the nite with fed and meds, back to vets again and now on a 80% chance she is now eating and drinking and supported with back up fed,
Caroline makes the choice of how far we can go and if we have a possible small chance we will go with it every time, She has a fighting spirit we have never seen in a small guinea.
Caroline had her in a cat bed so her hubby on the sofa and Duchess on the bed only to be woke up with her out of the bed the other night demanding her fed lol,
Her bill is now approx £430 so we are now going to be trying to raise funds for this our thing to watch for now will be any infection that could poss set in, now bear in mind we get a discount so to Jo public this bill would have been larger so Insurance people every time, to the family home her chances would have been to put to sleep.

Warwickshire Rabbit & Guinea Pig SOS would like to enter Rosie & Bertie for Rescue rabbit of the month!
Rosie & Bertie have been at the rescue for some time now and have been overlooked each time :-(
A beautiful bonded pair who love their treats and will come to call at the slightest hint of treats being available :))
We are really hoping that this pair finally find their new home and family in time for Christmas xx
