Rose has been with us for a whole decade! And she is as grumpy and feisty as ever. She has never liked people and has not been hugely taken with other rabbits either although she and Basil coexist fairly well as long as he gets out of her way when …
Last week someone came around the back during the night and stole £75 and our new drill that we had just paid £100 for as well as the case to the old drill with it’s charger. There may be other items that we haven’t missed yet. Luckily there were no …
Gwen was a chocolate and ginger female guinea pig born in 2016. She came to us in July 2019 because her owner had a serious allergy and because her sister had died and she was alone. She lived with Alejandro and had a huge appetite despite being quite a small …
Robin is an exceedingly friendly harlequin half lopped buck with most unusual colours and patchwork markings. We don’t know how old he is or anything else about him because he was left outside the Sanctuary in a carrier in May 2019 with not even a note and we hadn’t been …
Hamish was a big steel lionlop buck born in 2013. He came to us in May 2019 because he has infected tear ducts that require constant treatment. When he arrived his face was scalded and sore but it soon cleared up with proper management. His coat was also exceedingly thick …
Hector is a black and white min-rex buck born in 2013. He came to us because he is rather agressive and his owners were unable to give him sufficient space after they moved and didn’t think he was suitable for rehoming to a family. He had been used to running …
Filbert was a harlequin lop buck born in 2009 who came to us in April 2019 with two other old bucks who sadly left us that same year. He wasn’t at all well when he arrived and needed antibiotics and syringe feeding but recovered and wa happy and bouncy despite …
Mallow was a black and white Dutch cross buck with the most amazing temperament. He was quite special and left a lasting impression on us. He arrived in April 2019 with two other old single rabbits Parsley and Filbert, already ten years old. Despite his age he threw himself into …
Parsley was a lovely grey buck born in 2011 who came to us in April 2019 with two other single rabbits, Filbert and Mallow. Unfortunately he was not at all well. We didn’t think he was going to be with us for long as his breathing was dreadful and his …
The year seems to be flying by. It feels as if summer is already over with the weather we are currently having. So much rain! But it is better than the dreadful heat although we were spared the worst effects of that by the shade of the garden. Still it …
I put Hamish with Robin and Mallow with Goose, Filbert and Bilberry last week and these seem to be going well so today I am trying Dandelion with Tia and Siyah. My knack for bonding seems to have deserted me. None of these bondings worked properly. Dandelion had a huge …
Hamish came to us because he had badly infected tear ducts and facial scalding which hadn’t gone away despite veterinary treatment. That together with his difficult to manage coat meant that we are the best place for him. Robin was left outside the barn doors in a carrier so …
The weather simple couldn’t have been better, the Apple blossom actually opened during the event and Clyde was in top form, all we lacked was visitors! Still it was a lovely relaxing afternoon. I rarely have the chance just to enjoy sitting in the garden chatting and it was a …
Fern was born at the sanctuary eight years ago after her mother Violet was brought to us pregnant after having already had one accidental litter. We were very relieved she only had two because we were over full at the time and as both were female they were able to …
On Sunday we took in three old rabbits. Update April 17th. Anemone and Parsley are getting along marvelously although his health isn’t good. They are outside in a shed. Mallow is being bonded with Cocoa and Chestnut which is going fairly well but needs time. Filbert is eating again and …
Saturday 20th April Noon – 4pm As many of you know we have been closed to visitors over the winter. We would like to welcome our sponsors and other supporters back with a small Open Day on Easter Saturday the 20th of April 2019. It will be a chance to …
Sorrel is a very small black wild rabbit who came to us from the RSPCA when it became clear that she wasn’t suitable for a pet home. She was born in 2018 and was with the RSPCA for about nine months after having been found in a hotel lift injured, …
Susie was an agouti and white female guinea pig born in 2014 who came to us in March 2019 after her sister died so that she didn’t have to be alone. She adjusted well to group life and I think she really enjoyed her retirement although she wasn’t a very …
Basil first came to us on New Year’s Eve 2008. He was found straying in a park in Birmingham on a very cold night. We rehomed him (which we stopped doing in 2010) and he lived happily elsewhere for several years but when he lost his companion he returned to …
2018 has not been a good year. Almost everything I could have imagined going wrong did. It was our 13th year. Hopefully our 14th will be an improvement on the 13th! This abysmal WordPress update that is moving text around as I type is just the icing on the cake. …
Smudge came to us in November 2018 after losing her long term companion. Her people didn’t want her to be on her own.
