Well we have had a lot of good news lately.
Our little baby rabbits are growing up. Three of them have gone to new homes and we have one little female called Vimto left. I have been keeping in touch with the other adopters to check in with how things are going, and all bonds with the babies and new buns are going to plan.
Here is little Vimto incase anyone is looking to adopt a very cheeky baby girl
Here is little Nettle with her new husbun, Teddy.
We also rehomed two long termers, Cookie and Nutmeg. I think they stayed for so long because Nutmeg is a very big girl! They now live in a huge hutch, with a run that is dug underground to keep them safe. The new owners are hoping to bond them into a big group with their two neutered males. Here they are, wrecking the gifts their new humans gave them;
A bit of sad news, which is a rabbit adopted by my brother passed away. Doodles was 6 years old and was unwanted when his owner moved. I bonded him with my brothers other rabbit, Noodles, who recently lost her dad. It was a slightly tricky bond as Doodles was a bit naughty, but we got there in the end. Doodles passed away yesterday, very suddenly, from a heart attack leaving Noodles on her own again. My brother doesn't want a young rabbit, as Noodles is getting on herself now, but as luck would have it, I have little Rupert in. Now, Rupert has a few health issues, and we were looking for a very special home for him, so the fact he is going to live round the corner means I can keep an eye on his health. Bonding for Rupert and Noodles will begin next week, as we both feel Noodles needs a few day to get over the loss of her friend. Please cross your fingers for an easy bond!
Back to the good news, I don't know if people are interested in other species as we don't only take bunnies, but we also take cats (among other species). Charlie was living as 'the neghbourhood cat' where everyone would feed him, but no one officially owned him. Charlie got a huge abscess on his head, and none of the residents wanted to foot the vet bill, so they took him to the vets to be put down instead. We heard about his plight as offered him a place here. He stayed at the rescue for a very long time due to his health issues, but at the weekend, he went off to a new home.
Today, we have a single gerbil going to a new home. The new owner wanted a pet for his granddaughter, and said to her he would only rescue, which she is very happy about. They live an hour from us, but the man is sure this is the gerbil for them, so this lucky one will start her new life later.
Tonight, we have a single guinea pig in and a rabbit arriving (both from different homes). More info on them when they arrive!
