Sweet Patch 💞
Patch is a sweet old man, but you wouldn't know he's 8yrs old!
We are big fans of age specific diets. Just like you would obviously feed puppy food to a puppy, we think you should feed senior food to seniors. At different life stages we require different levels of nutrients, so feeding age specific diets just makes sense.
We feed Patch the senior cavy pellets because they have vegan glucosamine for joint health, which is helpful for any arthritis that Patch may develop. It also has fatty acids for brain health, helping keep him sharp even in his older years!

Sweet Everest and Houdini are two gorgeous 2yo bonded boys who have come to stay with us from our friends at . We are really hopeful we can help find them their forever home!
They are both vaccinated and desexed and would love an indoor home where they can have lots of room to run around- they are big boys!
To express interest and organise a meet and greet with these lovely dudes, send us a message including some details about yourself, your home and who lives in it, and any pens/enclosures you may have.
And please share! 💞

We took a roadtrip to earlier in the week to get the joeys a checkup. They arent gaining as much as we would hope despite having great appetites and we wanted to ensure that we were doing everything for them.
The vet confirmed that there was nothing else we should be doing, but that the gut issues were coming from improper diet when they were first orphaned which is what we suspected. It's gonna take time and TLC but we are hopeful they can overcome this 🤞
PLEASE, if you are not a qualified carer, DO NOT FEED WILDLIFE. Joeys can survive SEVERAL days without food and its more important to correct dehydration.
Please, if you find injured or orphaned wildlife contact your local wildlife rehabilitation organisation, and do not give them anything unless advised by an expert.

Sending lots of love to our friends over at Bunnies Of The Burrow 💞 it's hard to ask for help but so important. Please message the page if you are able to help out in any way!!

HELP NEEDED - BUNNY ADOPTERS / FOSTER CARERS!

This is a difficult post to write but I believe in being honest and transparent and beleive you, our wonderful supporters, deserve that.
I (Brontye) have been recently suffering with some serious mental health issues and am asking any of you that has a safe indoor space who would be willing to care for some of the bunnies here temporarily or permanently to please reach out and let me know. The bunny’s well being are the most important thing to me so I want to make sure they’re go to appropriate indoor homes with enough space and bunny savvy carers to give them the love and attention they deserve.
I am not certain what has caused this mental health episode but I am at my all-time highest capacity with animals - 42 rabbits plus other animals - meaning I am caring for over 50 animals day in day out by myself. I’ve been caring for animals in rescue (many with complex needs) for around seven years now without a days break, let alone a holiday, while also caring for my human family, so I’m sure the stress of that has accumulated without me realising. This year has also been very challenging with personal losses and ill health. Perhaps combining into the perfect storm for this breakdown?
I’m sure I will get through this stage and recover with the right treatment and with time but I’m asking for understanding and support with taking in a bunny or two if you are in a position to be able to. I also have two large aquariums with around 70 rescue fish who need placement. I have a permanent back injury and the task of changing the aquarium water is getting too hard so I’d love them to find wonderful homes.
Rest assured the animals are all being cared for with the help of many wonderful friends, family and supporters, but going forwards I need to reduce my daily work load, at least temporarily while I heal.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this and, as always, your wonderful support X

EXCITING NEWS 🥳
Thanks to all our incredibly generous, amazing supporters, everyone who shared posts, donated, bought tickets, bid in the auction, donated prizes, adopted, today WE PAID OFF OUR FINAL VET ACCOUNT 🎉🎊💃🎈🧨🎇
It has been a hell of a year, we have taken in a lot of sick animals and it often felt like we lived at the vet. This financial year we will have spent almost $14k in total between our vets, almost double the year before. There were a lot of stressful moments where I didn't know how we would be able to afford it all. But everytime we asked, our amazing followers stepped forward to help and because of you we have been able to help so many beautiful souls like Wednesday.
THANKYOU for letting us help them 💞💞
Please keep us in mind as you go to do your taxes. All donations towards the rescue are tax deductible and 100% goes towards the animals. If you have donated this financial year and want a receipt please send us a message 😊

And then there was two! 🐁🐁
We got a call from our vet this week saying that a rat very similar to Lola had been found in the same area! We highly suspect they are sisters as they are the same size and colouring. We are a bit confused as to their history, they are incredibly social and definitely not wild rats in colouring or temperament, but regardless they are both safe.
The new girl is also quite skinny and has some wounds on her tail, but has a great appetite so nothing a little TLC won't fix 💞
We need a name for Lola's sister! Comment your suggestions below 👇

We got a call this morning from our vet clinic asking if we would be able to take a rat. She had been found by a member of public who had been unsuccessful in finding an owner. We of course said yes ❤️
She is quite skinny, and appears to be young. She is super sweet and dug right into the food.
The vet staff named her Lola 🐁💞
