OPEN DISCUSSION!

The world of rescue and social media can be a brutal place. It honestly puts me off going through with most of the ideas I have. It’s easier to hide and struggle, than potentially put yourself out there for others to pick at. But today I feel brave. I started this journey for the animals, and I want to be able to continue.

What makes you chose to support other rescues financially over Love Paws? Or not to donate at all?

Every honest answer welcome.

Every question welcome.

Go!

They’re here 🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰

9 more half wild rabbits from yet another stray domestic rabbit

2 of them look exactly like their mum. And the other 7 exactly like their dad.

Because plans for the other litter changed last minute, I have updated the PayPal pool so it is more accurate. This is now how much these 9 will cost to neuter and vaccinate.

£133 of £1,500 raised so far.
Please spare £1 if you can🙌🏼

Morning 🐢🐰

Update on this litter of half wild babies. Look how beautiful they are! Their human foster mum is doing an amazing job looking after them until they’re old enough to leave their mum (who is staying there forever!🥰)

We have been told one is a very wild and sassy dude already!

We were taking 19 new half wilds but the other litter of 10 are now staying where they are. We have let the person know we are here to help if they need us. I will keep the fundraiser as it is for now, in case they do end up still coming to us.

This litter’s mother was wondering for months and it’s been a great effort by some extremely caring people to get her to safety. Unfortunately whilst straying she was “caught” by a male wild rabbit, which lead to these guys.

It would take just £2 from all our animal loving followers to secure these guys a safe stress free life

I’ve created 2 separate fundraisers for the vet costs and the housing so that people can decide where they want their money to go

Thank you

Can you see Jeeves?👀

The fundraiser for her new tank made £195, not enough for the replacement tank (hers cracked) but we did manage to buy another Laguna tub/pond with the funds so she now has a large space again and is out of the quarantine tub. So thank you💚

She is a very special turtle, I’ve been “nerding” about turtles for 6 years now. Still learning constantly and always asking questions.

I have started to lean more towards housing all our turtles in tubs/ponds, in an attempt to create more natural environments. Being able to observe them in a glass tank is a privilege and amazing to see but I’m recently thinking, is it just another thing to benefit us humans? We’ve definitely observed stress behaviour from some turtles we have had in tanks, and immediate changes when swapped to a space that isn’t transparent/extremely bright

Just some thoughts🐢

SANCTUARY ENCLOSURE VIDEO

I apologise if I’m annoying to listen to, I’m out of breath😂 doing animals jobs with a 10kg baby on your hip in this heat is something else🤦🏼‍♀️

If everyone donated just £1, we could extend the enclosure and pay for all the vaccines and neutering costs of every half wilds rabbit currently on our waiting list!

☀️HOT WEATHER WARNING☀️

We are re-sharing the story of Bella who came to us in 2019, found collapsed and completely limp, open mouth breathing.

Bella had been dumped by her owners and when temperatures hit 34 degrees her body couldn’t take any more. She was unable to find shade and water and collapsed. Thank goodness it was in a built up area and someone found her.

We collected her straight away and rushed her to the vets where she was put on oxygen and the vet team fort to get her temperature down.

Bella was minutes away from a deadly internal body temperature. We got there just in time and she went on to get adopted to a wonderful home with a bun friend.

We are extremely concerned this year as it’s going to be hot again this week.

PLEASE make serious plans to protect all your animals. Lots of rabbits and guinea pigs will die because they’re being kept in hutches that will turn into ovens. I see posts on Facebook groups every year.

No rabbit should be living in a hutch anyway but regardless. Please do all you can to protect them.

The most effective thing to do would be to;

• bring them indoors, into a room with closed curtains

• give them ice packs/frozen bottles wrapped in a towel.

• fans/AC units

•If you’re at work then leave multiple water BOWLS. No rabbit that’s is hot wants to faff around with a water bottle.

If you cannot bring them indoors for safety or group size reasons etc, then please shade the area they live in well. Put up white sheets to create better shade and provide ice packs/frozen bottles like stated above.

If we can make plans to keep a whole sanctuary of animals cool and safe then you can make plans and sacrifices to keep your pets safe too.

We don’t want to sound harsh but it is so important to take hot weather seriously.

Thank you for reading💙

You know it’s warm when the musk turtles come up to bask! Normally only ever see this dude on plants just out of the water. He is looking great!
