Vegan run animal sanctuary for half wild rabbits, medical cases, turtles & sugar gliders
(12)
Anyone making a new rabbit enclosure and need slabs?š°š°
34, 2x2 feet. I can see 4 that have small corner chips but nothing that would affect a shed or kennel base.
They cost Ā£300, were asking for Ā£180 to put towards some vets fees as weāre really drowning at the moment
Unfortunately we cannot deliver them sorry. A flat bed truck would probably be best?
Location is the sanctuary in DE21 DERBY.
Lotus is backš„° operation was successful and the lump has been sent off for testing. There are lots of smaller lumps but we will wait the results of this one to determine next steps.
Lotus will remain in quarantine with aquarium salted water to aid the healing process until the skin has fully closed
Every animal has equal worth. They all deserve nothing but our best efforts to keep them from pain and give them everything they need.
Honestly donāt know what we would do without such an amazing vet and vet team available. Please always remember that behind every rescue and sanctuary are a vets who play such an important role in saving lives.
Using Fluval UK filtration of courseš
*photos of the nasty lump/possible tumour in comments*
Looks like atleast one is a dental bunš
any info please pass onto the vets. Iām sure it can be kept anonymous
Benji takes his turtle defender job very seriously! He is paid in the best quality snacks. The turtles are very use to him and do not get spooked š
Benji was suppose to have a very very different life. Itās a long story to how he ended up here instead but im glad our paths crossed at just the right time.
Sometimes I feel like our dogs miss out on attention due to the other animals in our care. But I think we underestimate how much they also take up their own roles and give themselves jobs to help them feel for filled.
*yes there is normally a net, he is not left unsupervised*
Ā£933.64 to give this genetic mess you made, for a few quid profit, a decent quality of life.
Iām really trying to post less negative. But the purposeful breeding of deformed animals is just one of the most mind boggling things.
Button was sold at a live pub auction with long teeth growing into his mouth and gums. He was also separated from his friend.
He has waited very patiently between procedures to ensure he recovered fully. And today was finally his castration day! In a few weeks he will be introduced to some friends š°š°š°
Iām forever greatful to our amazing vets and the challenges we turn up with! They have saved so many.
Please donāt encourage the breeding of rabbits, support rescues and educate others š
Fresh forage š love this time of year!
*Koa had to have his nose tip removed after he was returned to pets at home following fight injuries. After being sold with another un-castrated male. The vets inside pets at home rang us for help as they had been instructed to put Koa to sleep as the shop would not cover his surgery costs. Koa lives in a small medical sanctuary group as he has a sensitive chest now, but it is very well managed*
A few months ago we were messaged about 3 rabbits needing urgent help. Thatās 3 quickly turned into 14! And burrowed hearts agreed to save the dayš
Burrowed Hearts Animal Rescue help us with so many cases and we really wouldnāt have saved as many as we have today without them. They often take strays and rehomes from us and in exchange we offer sanctuary to any medical or super people fearing rabbits they have.
Please donate to these buns via burrowed hearts if you can
Vaccination day for Flora & her babies SongThrush, MistleThrush, RedWing & TreeSparrow. We also left Fauna & her babies Wren, Chaffinch, Brambling, Nuthatch & Starling at the vets for their neuters. Please donate if you can!

Good morning š
In the last month we have had surrender requests for 36 turtles of different species. But mostly musk turtles (60 year life span).
We have only been able to offer 2 of those turtles a space here.
Including our pond build, food, electricity, replacing broken equipment and vets fees. Helping turtles last year cost just over Ā£10,000. Theyāre not a cheap animal to help and so difficult to raise funds for but surrender requests keep climbing.
We really need to find some dedicated homes for more species that canāt live outside in the U.K.
Minimum indoor tank or tub size for 99% of species is 6x2 tank, fluval FX6 or equivalent power filter, basking + UVB lighting and access to an exotics vet. **Do not apply if you cannot meet these standards!**
If youāre seriously considering becoming a turtle carer for the next 30-60 years (because thatās their life span) please message us before you search for a breeder or go to your local pet shop. We have so many beautiful turtles on our waiting list looking for a brighter future and we are running out of places to refer them to.
Thank you to Cork Bark UK for our wonderful order of huge cork bark. We ordered this 2 years ago but I totally forgot to post because we were in the middle of moving house! The bark is still being well used now and in perfect condition!
The cork bark is used by the sugar gliders, snakes, dragons and turtles.
Itās a great way to create more natural hides for land animals and floating platforms for turtles
Sugar glider hands are probably one of the most fascinating things to see up close.
They allow them to easily grip from tree to tree in the wild after gliding 30 feet or more sometimes.
They also allow them to catch fast moving insects. Yes these cute things are hunters! Donāt forget!
Their hook like claws feel like Velcro to your skin and they cannot simply be picked up and removed off of your arm. This often makes people feel uncomfortable and is actually some of the reasons we get for surrendering on our requests.
*we do not promote gliders as pets. Theyāre too complex and should not be in the exotic pet trade*
Little dinosaurs š¦
If anyone is sorting out their ponds, reducing plants or removing completely please let us know. We want to create more natural cover.
Weāre doing our post winter pond reset next week, weather pending! Getting everything scrubbed up and pretty!
3x3m pond Eazypod UV auto filtered and in a good sunny spot
Please no plants toxic to dogs.
As close to Derby as possibleš
POND KOI FISH
Never thought we would be doing a request post but we have the opportunity for some Koi needing a new home to join our pond.
It has been cycling with a new filter for 6 months now and doing wonderfully and sustaining plant life.
The only thing we would like back from the fish is to help with mosquito controlš in return they will be granted a wonderful home for life. The water movement is very good but cannot be too strong due to a number of turtles also sharing the pond. There are no species in the pond who would be a risk to decent size.
Goldfish are not an option due high thiaminase carriers/ edible small size. (If anyone is interested in an article please say. Iāve only been reading up on different species and different effects for approximately a year so still learning mostly from our vet)
Our pond is approximately 3x3m and just over 5 feet deep. Powered by an eazypod UV automatic filter system. Running a cleaning cycle every 7 days.
The Koi would be registered at our exotics vets (chine house vets) and receive any vet care at any cost necessary. Our vets treat many fish, small and large with great success.
We obviously donāt support buying from breeders so have made this postš
Any serious enquiries are welcome to view the pond and filter system.
Location Derby.
If you follow us and are involved in the BULLYING of a vets practice thatās going around. Remove yourself.
Itās disgusting behaviour and should have been dealt with privately.
VETS HAVE SOME OF THE HIGHEST SU***DE RATES in the professional working world and no one needs to add more pressure. Iāve seen vet friends go through absolute hell because the public have jumped on something they donāt fully understand.
I have had my fair share of awful vet experiences and lost a rabbit due to a mistake a newly qualified vet made. But I never made it public, I delt with it as a private and professional matter. And you know what, that vet took on the complaint, went back to education, and is now a very well respected and amazing exotics vet.
We are thousands behind in donations this year already. Absolutely drowning. Canāt get much worse, I would rather fund every penny myself and get 2 jobs than be associated with this kind of absolute embarrassment from the rescue world. Gone way too far.

Vet bills, vet bills
We have 5 animals at the vets next week for various treatments. Neuters, X-rays, shell treatment/operation and a dental, total quoted at Ā£1,364
We also have our next waste invoice Ā£284
If anyone could help it would mean a lot. I covered all food and hay this month again, which is hundreds on its own, can 5.5k followers help with some other fees please?
I know intake is zero at the moment but there are still 72 animals hereš«£ Please donāt forget about the animals who have survived their ordeals and now live here in peace with the physical and or medical support they need.
New shock cases posted on social media tend to get so much attention and so many donations, often more than actually needed. But the true cost is maintenance. Maintaining the quality of lives for the ones saved who have found their safe place here when they had no one else to go.

Good night š“
Ebony š°š
Ebony lives with Clover. She was found on a local park with her litter mates, unfortunately they all had coccidiosis and Eb was the only survivor
Clover was a ānew breedersā first rabbit. She was bred for 2 years but every litter died and so did ever male she was placed with. They all died from coccidia but Clover was never sick.
Clover was on her own with us for around 1 year as we spoke to vets about the risk of her to other rabbits. Weāve had plenty survive coccidia but not so much a ācarrierā with which had such an effect as Clover. When Ebony survived treatment we felt strongly that she definitely had enough immunity.
They have been best friends now for around 4 years
Eb and Clover are two rabbits who are technically adoptable but not openly advertised. It would take a lot of trust in someone to never bring other rabbits into the home and never try to bond them with others without our and a vets advice. Theyre here for as long as they need to be, even if thats forever š
Looks like we need to issue a missing report for some wildie ears!š
I want an exotic pet, but there are no vets near me.
This topic is something extremely important to me. It will irritate quite a few people but the world of animal welfare is a battlefield anyway.
Some of the basic freedoms of animal care include;
ā¢Freedom from discomfort and exposure.
ā¢Freedom from pain, injury, and disease.
ā¢Freedom from fear and distress.
Love cannot save them.
If you do not have a vets to register to, that has experience and qualifications in the animal you wish to care for then unfortunately you cannot for fill those basic needs.
This also applies to OUT OF HOURS VETS. I cannot stress enough the amount of post in groups and messages we get asking for help because vets are closed or the local emergency vet doesnāt have anyone comfortable treating that species.
IT IS NOT THE VETS FAULT. Iām sorry but we need to stop blaming vets for our lack of preparation or just circumstances beyond that vets control. Knowing quite a number of exotics vet and non exotics vet nurses quite well, the public have no idea what they must mentally and physically go through before deciding yes itās a good ethical decision to take this animal on. Theyāre not magic.
Also, If an animal is in great pain and is suffering then we must always always remember that euthanasia is an ETHICAL option. Even if the animal could be saved by another more experienced vet. If theyāre not available and that animal is going to suffer, youāre still releaving their pain. They do not understand ājust hang on another 24/48 hoursā
Please stop anthropomorphising animals. Itās our biggest weakness as animal cares. It can cause just as much harm as good.
I could write so much more but I wonāt waffle onš„“
Thank you to every vet, vet nurse and vet tech who have been through hours and years of study, heartbreak, stress and even trauma to get to whatever stage theyāre at now trying to save animals and be a voice for themš
Soaking up the sunš
The Cooter girl on the ramp was sold by a pet shop as a musk turtle 11 years ago. Musks grow approximately 10cm, her shell is 33cm. Her owners did the best job they could before asking her to come here 2 years ago.
Remember going to a pet shop does not mean youāre going to receive the correct information on care or even species. Incorrect care is life threatening for turtles.
*side note, please remember I work shifts. Iām currently on nights and wonāt answer many messages. I schedule posts most when Iām at work for the next day*
Sometimes there are āfull domesticā rabbits that are also very stressy and just donāt like humans.
Biscoff and her two brothers live in one of our wildies groups.
They were abandoned outside a dog kennels nearly 2 years ago. We kept them separate like any other adoptable rabbits for almost a year but they only became more āferalā and people fearing. Finding a home for a trio is hard enough, but a trio who refuse any physical human contact is even harder.
So we allowed them to join the wildies and honestly the only difference is their coat colours. They are just as wild as everyone elsešš
Will there ever be a day where I get a photo of Gooseberry and he doesnāt look super madš
Since we lost Apple last year, Gooseberry is now clearly the most dominant wildie. Seen every so often keeping the younger litter who live in here in check.
Always remember in groups that some mild chasing and even fur plucking is completely normal on occasion. As long as it is not daily and no episodes end in bite wounds.
Gooseberry is a half wildie who was transferred to us from Burrowed Hearts Animal Rescue a number of years ago. We was part of a litter signed over after a female domestic rabbit was left to free roam the owners garden and mated with a wild rabbit.
Following on from our post last week š°
Over the rest of this year I will be reducing my interaction with the small animal rescue world outside of LP. Meaning answering less Facebook tags etc and group chats.
Iām in contact with 3 rescues daily and will continue to be a support through those.
Love Paws will always exist and it will always be a safe place for half wildies and special exotics. But running LP has no doubt delayed my dream to help rehabilitate rescue dogs.
Many people are shocked when they visit us and see we have a number of dogs. And especially shocked at the breeds. I like to think we already have a small impact in proving that almost any dog from any background can be taught how to live happily and peacefully with other animals.
I have wanted to help rehab more bull breeds (especially strays) and help to educate people for years now. I couldnāt live without one and I know many more could change peoples lives if more help was out there.
The spare time doesnāt exist between a normal job and running a rehoming rescue to start on a new adventure. So becoming a sanctuary was the compromise to then be able to start this chapter. We struggled repeatedly with charity status and now we have so many ānon rehomableā wildies it just kind of makes sense
Iām not abandoning the rescue world, just stepping out to help more species.
How busy is your rabbitās space?
Rabbits need lots of unbroken space for zooms and binkies. BUT they also feel security with a few safe cluttered spaces. Hide outs and tunnels are great ways to make your rabbits feel like they have a safe getawayš°š°
AQUATIC AFRICAN DWARF FROG
a few months ago we had a turtle signed over and unknown to us, he appeared with a frog friend.
African dwarf frogs are fully aquatic but also social. They like to live in small groups.
We are appealing to either find a home for the little frog in an established planted tank, or invite some more frogs to live with her here at the sanctuary now shes fit and healthy. Which ever is the fastest way to getting her some company of her own kind.
If she leaves us proof of set up will be required, proof of correct lighting, filtration and live plant quality to represent level of knowledge of care.
Location Derby East Midlands.
Button the dental bunny is doing amazing in foster. He has been zooming and doing lots of binkies!
He is now healthy enough to be booked for castration. Below are his costs so far, plus some meds which ended up on a different invoice.
His castration is Ā£140
If anyone could help recoup a little bit more of his costs it would mean a lot. This month you guys have donated Ā£437 so far to vet bills, bedding, food & hay. Our expenditure is already at over Ā£1500 for March but thank you so much to everyone who has donated or shared so farš
https://www.paypal.me/LovePawsAnimalRescue?locale.x=en_GB
I have had my next 5 over time at work cancelled. This has really shot us down. I am trying to sustain as much of the sanctuary on my own as possible now until I have finished plans to create a separate income dedicated to the cost of the wildies. This over time was vital to cover hay and forage costs, plus 2 sugar glider castrations and 1 rabbit castration this month.
You amazing people have raised Ā£630 of the current Ā£3,580 expenditure for the last 2 months. My over time would have covered Ā£1000 of that but itās been cut off just 2 days in advance. Iām going to try and get another painting done to sell but that will take time.
Please can we group together to try and cover some of these costs. Even if itās just the vet bill currently outstanding at Ā£1780.
Thank youš°

Good morning Nemoš§”
Nemo is a pink bellied side neck turtle, signed over 3 years ago. He was very lethargic and dull in colour, but is now a wonderful healthy dude. Jeeves the Reeves turtle (with ongoing shell issues) was also signed over with him from the same household.
Scientific name: Emydura subglobosa
Life span: 30-50years+ most turtle species are a literal life time commitment and you should have plans in place for their future if anything happens to you.
Country of natural habitat: Australia

We recently took these guys in when they were being given away just a few streets down from us We see so many fish advertised in tiny boring tanks, fish are a-lot smarter than you realise! Please try to make an effort to offer them an enriching environment tooš In our care we have Cory catfish, guppies, Rosa tetra and in permanent foster we have pea puffers, one of the most intelligent tiny fish with amazing eye sight and the ability to recognise their human!
Quick little health check for Honey yesterday evening. He is approximately 12/13 years old and lives with our OAP group We check limb movement (we have a few oldies on joint meds) , grip, balance, coat, eyes, ears, weight and if they will let us teeth (teeth are fully checked yearly at the vets) Is coat isnāt as perfect as the slighter younger gliders but itās definitely great for his age š *we do not promote sugar gliders as pets, we prefer them to stay in the wild. They are not suitable as domestic pets*
Checked this dude little ear scab. Took him a while to realise I even had him I thinkš so into his snackš **my grip is almost nothing around him, and my pinky finger is supporting his butt. Multis bite fast and hard, this is the safest, less stressful and quickest way to do little checks**
We adopted 18 African soft fur rats from Bacchus Residents Rescue. They always help us when we have requests to take in fancy rats and hamsters so we like to return the favour when we can Multis are commonly bred for laboratory testing because they breed fast and have huge litters. You can stop supporting the abuse of lab animals by purchasing #crueltyfree products! You will be surprised just how many beauty and house hold products are now stopping animal testing, itās easy than ever to support the welfare of animals! Multis/ASF are also often bitey and not a small furry that want to be touched. This makes them quite difficult to home I love creating natural and bioactive set ups for animals who prefer no human contact, so welcome another 18 tiny biteys š¤
Abit of a get to know the person behind love paws post, if anyone is interested š I thought I would try to do a few as we gain more following. As well as LP and my job, I am doing a diploma in canine behaviour. I have 5 dogs. 4 adopted/failed fosters and my current foster Enzo. He is a very large Cane Corso x who I have have been caring for and training for 10 months Iām not an outgoing social person but dogs can fix anything! And are truly the best friend anyone can have (especially rescue dogs š ). If you ever invite me anywhere, my first question will be ācan I bring a dogā š Here is Enzo learning to focus whilst walking near busy roads. I am super proud of this giant puppy
**WARNING: video of deceased animal** Itās not a nice thing to share but it must be done. People need to start taking turtle care seriously. Our little false map turtle with MBD has sadly lost his fight. I can now show you how far gone his MBD was. A turtles shell should be solid (unless they are a soft shell species of course but letās not get too complicated) His two friends were already dead before we could intervene. This is a ābabyā false map turtle, actually 2 years old, with the most severe āsoft shell syndromeā or known as metabolic bone disease I have ever seen. The owner was apparently told by the shop who they purchased the turtles from that they would not grow any more. False maps can reach 25cm across (we have a few here). This guy is currently barely 6cm. When I first posted him I tried not to manipulate him too much but his whole shell is like a sponge. If you know someone who suffers with bone/joint pain. Imagine most of your body being made of bone with that same pain, but no pain killers. Coming out of his shell was painful, swimming was painful, walking was painful. 2 very simple basic things led to this. Improper diet and improper lighting. When the body doesnāt have enough calcium in the diet to balance out the phosphorus, it takes it from the bones. As well as calcium in their diet, reptiles also need UVB lighting to be able to absorb that calcium. ā¢tank size, know how large your species of turtle will get before you commit! Also know the age expectancy. ā¢basking light (wattage depending on set up and turtle species & make sure it is a splash proof one) ā¢basking platform fully out of the water ā¢UVB strip light (again wattage worked out depending on set up size/placement/species) ā¢filteration system powerful enough for 3x the water volume (because turtles are very messy) ā¢water heater powerful enough for the volume on your set up ā¢correct substrate (NO small stones/gravel) ā¢research the correct d
Cricket sneak attackš¶
Letās have something super cute to cheer us up after taking in the poor neglected rabbits What is better than being attacked with baby rat kisses?! These guys were just dropped off to us as a half way point and I will be driving them to their rescues spaces Bacchus Residents Rescue and then some will continue on to Tiny Paws MCR later tonight **this is obviously just the travel cage they were dropped off in** Rats are the most amazing, intelligent creatures and I always miss having a ārodent roomā at the rescue. Rats can learn their name, learn tricks and genuinely seem to form friendships with their humans as well as their fellow rat friends. They love to live in groups, and we always encourage research on bioactive enclosures. It provides them with so much enrichment and areas to dig. If you want to know more about keeping pet rats, please go to the websites of the rescues tagged above
The young false map turtle with metabolic bone disease signed over recently is starting to swim more and better! Also catching food more accurately too Using all Fluval UK products to keep all our turtles warm and their water nice and clean
How beautiful is this little dude! Of course if you know me, anything agouti in colour I think is absolutely perfect This chap is staying with us for just one night, he has a space at Tiny Paws MCR He is spending the night in our nice and toasty quarantine building. I have picked willow, dandelion, plantain and Robert herb fresh from the garden. Along with dry forage and some bell pepper for a vitamin C boost For those who remember, up until around 1 year ago we have an OAP guinea pig herd in a wonderful 120 square feet enclosure. This dude makes me miss them a lot. We decided not to continue adding to the group as the need for sanctuary rabbit space was greater. So now we refer to other amazing places like Tiny Pawsš
2 already dead before we could intervene and this guy doesnāt look like he has much hope. This is a ābabyā false map turtle, actually 2 years old, with the most severe āsoft shell syndromeā or known as metabolic bone disease I have ever seen. The owner was apparently told by the shop who they purchased the turtles from that they would not grow any more. False maps can reach 25cm across (we have a few here).

When the body doesnāt have enough calcium in the diet to balance out the phosphorus, it takes it from the bones. As well as calcium in their diet, reptiles also need UVB lighting to be able to absorb that calcium. He will need to see our vet asap to determine whether treatment is ethical or itās too far gone and he is in too much pain. We already have 2 rabbits at the vets and another turtle booked in. When it rains it pours. This month so far we have raised Ā£297 (thank you) we have already spent over Ā£1,000 9 days in, this is without food and electricity. https://www.paypal.me/LovePawsAnimalRescue?locale.x=en_GB
Egg is guessed to be approximately 12 years old. Heās a very sweet dude who still attempts to glide, although the doesnāt get too far He had a dental a few months ago when he came to us. He is the only one who hasnāt gained significant weight but his blood work came back okay. He is less stiff on anti inflammatories and is still determined to get around, be with the group and explore. Itās so important to support animals as they age. Giving them medical support when needed and not thinking ātheyāre just getting oldā. These more OAP gliders and our bun vaccines are what has racked up our huge vet invoice of just under Ā£4,000 Someone kindly donated our food bill for September and we raised another Ā£122 towards vet fees We have another hay and food delivery on Friday and I am doing shopping today for glider food ingredients and green for the bearded dragons (which have still had no good applications) Yesterday raised Ā£136 of the stray rabbits Ā£225 vet bill Thank you everyoneš https://www.paypal.me/LovePawsAnimalRescue?locale.x=en_GB
The OAPs Some extra snacks to try and keep them in one place whilst I was cleaning their house š The āwhite faceā is a newer glider who came in as a single. He is the most defensive glider Iāve ever seen. He was rescued by a kind person before coming here. He was biting straight away and screaming at other gliders that came near him. It took a couple of slow intros but he finally feels safe. It wasnāt fair for him to wait any longer to find an adopter with a single or pair for him to join. His mental state was very worrying so he has joined these guys as theyāre older and calmer When you have animals that naturally live with their conspecifics, itās important to keep that up in captivity. You may think you donāt see the signs of loneliness and distress but they will be there. Human company is never enough. Sugar gliders, rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, rats, African soft furs are just to name a few that must always have a friend of the same species. *sugar gliders are marsupials from Australia. In the wild they glide 30 feet from tree to tree eating nectar and insects. Theyāre defensive, smelly and nocturnal. We do not promote them as pets* We have a waiting list of sugar gliders that require our help, please help us cover vets and food by donating just Ā£1 https://www.paypal.me/LovePawsAnimalRescue?locale.x=en_GB
Finally got a little video of Emmetš
Please say a very quick š hello to Emmet! A stunning half wild transferred from Ivy Dene Rabbit Rescue The rescue and Emmetās amazing foster made a 110% effort to see if Emmet could learn to trust people a little more. Enough to live a ānormalā domestic rabbit life but he has shown them he is a little too wild and would like a more contact free environment. We have booked some time off in October to further extend the half wilds enclosure. Iām hoping to double it, or even a little more š°š° Hoppy ever after day Emmet
Thank you to the two amazing people who transported the little bun who was at a vets in Liverpool The vets guessed half wild but I am not so convinced, we will see if his face shape gets more wild like as he grows (I suspect full wildie) Now named Pepino, he was found with a head wound. Which has now healed thanks to the amazing vets. It has left him with paralysis on one side as you can see. He is trying to blink so we will keep up with the drops and hopefully some more movement will return in time and of course with partial face paralysis we will ensure his teeth are checked again in a few weeks. Pepino has been vaccinated already by the lovely vets
Possibly my favourite thing about gliders is the way they dispose of a piece food once theyāre done with itš Egg has been having nightly weighs to ensure he is remaining steady. His last bloods showed okay, so it was assumed his struggle to gain more weight was because of a tooth abscess (which has now healed!) Egg is one of the OAP group and shows his age the most. But still bright in himself and gets around perfectly so we will not bother him anymore for nowš
EVERYONE! Papaya has a coat of fuzz! Maybe sheās more of a peach now?š«£ But this has honestly made my day! The small signs that she might have a half decent coat one day The tiny little nicks you see are from her burring herself under Pippin and Pippinās claws touching her thin baby skin. Our vet isnāt concerned, her skin is checked daily Papaya has a genetic flaw that caused her to be born with no fur. This is the result of unethically breeding rabbits to have unatural coats. https://www.paypal.me/LovePawsAnimalRescue?locale.x=en_GB

Ā£1 could change the world for animals here. And even if Ā£1 is too much, it costs nothing to share a postš
Iāve just realised that the only 4 full domestic buns in our wildies group were all originally dumped rabbits. Weāve had to turn away over 21 strays/dumped rabbits in the last 2 months alone. I wish we could help them all
The sassy attitude Bean gives you after disturbing his munching to do his eye drops š Beans bill yesterday was Ā£495.73 this was significantly lower than it should be been, we are very thankful to our vets helping us out with costs where they can. The total expenditure for the last 7 days here have been just shy of Ā£3,000 and you amazing supporters has helped raise back Ā£856 of that! Thank you! As you can see though, we are in a constant state of chase. The running costs of over 100 animals is extremely high. I have been working on a logo, would any one be interested in Love Paws jumpers? I could also do some designs of just bunnies, no writing? we really need some things and ideas to support running costs.
What an emotional 24 hours itās been, so many rabbits needing urgent help. A video of strength and hope, you got this little dudeš I think heās a blue double main lion head, I hope we get to see. Heās been flicking around, being sassy. We will never push an animal too far, never put them through a painful and long recovery they donāt understand. We have the back up of amazing exotics specialist vets This dude has been cared for, for the last 5 days by lovely vet staff but he has now been transferred to us to go into foster and be under our specialist vets. To whoever dumped him, I hope you become a better person one day. Animals donāt deserve this. One day I hope we post no sick animals and no animals found dumped on the streets.
LOST CAT? CHADDESDEN DERBY. No microchip. Young 6 month old ish cat has taken up residence in hide house in our front garden. She has not left and we suspect sheās either escaped a house or been let out for the first time and gotten lost. She was super exhausted and climbed up on my shoulders for a nap. All local vets and cats protection have been informed. PLEASE CHIP YOUR PETS.
