Honeybunnies would like to enter Chigwell into the Guinea Pig of the month for August. He is 4 years old and was handed in to a cat rescue! He arrived with us a bit thin in places due to lack of muscle tone and with mites,
Pictures show him just after arrival having just had his mite treatment applied, he is a lovely easy to handle piggy and we are hoping he will home easily once his little extra friends have gone!
BARC would like to enter Shakespeare for the Rescue Rabbit of the month for August.
He came to us as an unwanted pet. He had been bought for children, who had mishandled him, including picking him up by his neck.
Then because he became a biter they no longer wanted him.
Yes he bites, but he is also a very lovable boy who enjoys being stroked by and cuddles when in the mood.
The biting is learned behaviour and is difficult to break. 219132563_160701239490617_525035951416154768_n by Sue Gibson, on Flickr
Beloved Rabbits would like to nominate Bun-Stoppable for August's rescue rabbit of the month. She entered the rescue after we were made aware that she was being kept in poor conditions and neglected, and she'd also recently had a litter of kits. Thankfully her owner agreed to surrender them to the rescue and the kits were healthy and old enough to be separated from her, so they have been moved to foster care while we give mum some much needed TLC. Upon arrival, we noticed that she is very thin with balding fur in some areas, but has a swollen abdomen so we are monitoring her for signs of another litter arriving. She's only a year old herself, so once we get this beautiful girl back to full health we will be looking to find her the forever home she deserves after her rough start.
The Pledge a Pound Team have now chosen the winner of the Rescue Rabbit/Guinea Pig of the month for August, and it's Bun-Stoppable from Beloved Rabbits. Well done Bun-Stoppable.
