🌸 Meet Cressida, Our "Pink Pony" 🌸

Cressida, our stunning Cremello beauty, has been with us for nearly 180 days, waiting patiently for her chance at a loving home. 💕

As a young pony, she's often overlooked because of her age and size, but her potential is endless!

This inquisitive little mare is a future child's dream pony, perfect as a small riding pony or on a lead rein due to her size. She’d thrive in a long-term home where she can grow and bond, but even a short-term home while she matures would mean the world to her ❤

We’d love to see her living with other young ponies where she can develop her social and "horse skills" 🌟. Her playful, curious nature and gentle spirit make her a joy to be around 😊

✨ Help us find Cressida her perfect match, she's truly one of a kind, and her "pink pony" glow is ready to light up someone's life.

Could that someone be you?

🐀 Our rats need your help 🐀

2 weeks ago we took in a lovely group of over 20 fancy and dumbo rats, they are an adorable group and have completely fallen in love with their hammocks!
These were very new to them when they arrived but as soon as they were brave enough to give them a try there was no looking back 😄💙

However with over 20 and 6 more coming in Monday we don't have enough hammocks to keep them fresh and clean for them. We have tried hand made ones with towels whilst their proper ones are in the wash but they don't cut the mustard!

We have added some to our amazon wish list if anyone can buy anymore for this lovely group. They are pretty inexpensive at about £8-£11 but bring so much joy for a group that were previously living in an airing cupboard.

Here is the link to the list https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/3FNGHSXCF1SYW?ref_=wl_share

Thank you very much to anyone who can afford a gift for these rats and to anyone who shares

In terms of rehoming these girls will be available for rehoming on our website once they have finishes their gestation periods to ensure none are pregnant.
