Bedheads! You can tell the weather is changing when the pigs start burrowing into their beds at night! This morning the already well insulated piggie team were deep in the straw when we turned up to feed them breakfast!

We are very happy to say that we have now rehomed the last of the rescued Nethie type bunnies we took on in March 🎉🥳!

Our last three were bonded into a trio and a lovely family with a huge shed and run set up have kindly provided them with a forever home 😊❤️.

Good luck little guys, these were the lucky ones who got a second chance, so many bunnies do not 💔.

Thank you to everyone who has supported the sanctuary and made the rehoming possible 🤩.

This weekend our amazing volunteer Barry (and his grandchildren!) rode a whopping 60 miles on their tandem bike to raise funds for our residents 😍

As you can see… it’s no ordinary bike!! 🤩

Some of you may have been lucky enough to seen them on their travels!!

We are so lucky to have such amazing people on our team 😍

There’s still time to donate if you’d like to, all the funds are going towards our rent, ongoing outgoings,
and upcoming vaccinations and health checks for our animals 🥰

Ophelia’s story and a huge thank you to Chalkland Vets 🙏❤️.

When Ophelia rabbit came to the Sanctuary in March she was in awful pain. She had an untreated eye ulcer, didn’t want to move, or open her eye. She had immediate vet treatment & pain control.

The eye however didn’t want to heal and an examination from Dr Ida Gilbert Ophthalmologist identified she has congenital abnormalities on her corneas, this is a rabbit that should never have been bred from but this was her life before she came to us 😔.

The amazing vets Ida & Philly and their team at Chalklands tried everything to get the eye to heal over the past 6 months but without success. Faced with the decision of a life of pain, no life or removing the eye, we opted for one last chance of a pain free life.

This little bunny has such a joy and zest for life after her years of suffering, we owed it to her to try .

A couple of weeks ago she had the eye removed and she’s bounced back as good as new 😃🥳👏.

We could not have done it without the support from Chalkland Vets 🤗🤩.

Hopefully now we can bond her with a boyfriend 🐰 and she can have a happy retirement binkying and relaxing 😌.

Thank you so much to the lovely community at Lillybrook Leisure Club 🙏🤗.

They had a cake competition & sale and we were the very fortunate recipients of the money raised.

The donation has been used towards vet bills, and we can’t thank them enough for their thoughtfulness & generosity 💛💛.

Today they met the bunnies, birds, pigs and goats, although Loki was more interested in getting to his breakfast bowl 😄.

A HUGE HUGE very heartfelt thank you everyone that has responded to our plea for support 🤍

We have had some lovely messages - with donations of hay, time and wish list items, along with people sharing our post and sending monetary donations 🥰

We are so very grateful 🤍

We don’t always get the chance to thank every individual for their support, as much as we try, there aren’t enough hours in the day and at times we can’t find you!! But we do hope you know how much it means to us!

Thank you xoxo
