Anyone wanting to foster or adopt a guinea pig or two?? Please consider The Bunnyjackpot Foundation instead of going to a breeder or pet shop.

✨ The Piggyjackpot Foundation ✨

Whilst we’ve always found our balance of rabbits/guinea pigs leaned in favour of rabbits, we’re seeing more and more piggies come our way and are really making leaps and bounds when it comes to piggie care, rehabilitation and rehoming.

We currently have a whopping 33 guinea pigs under our care, which includes one potentially pregnant lady and six permanent sanctuary piggies.

With most of our supporters being bunny fanatics, we thought we’d start a series of posts on guinea pig care.

Is there anything you’re particularly interested in learning about guineas? Let us know below ⬇️

The Glue Traps (Offences) Act 2022 officially comes into effect today, making it illegal to use glue traps in England except under license 🙌

These inhumane traps are so adhesive that any animals trapped on them are unable to free themselves, causing prolonged and unnecessary suffering.

Often used for animals people deem 'pests', they also impact non-target species including wildlife and beloved pets like Basil.

The use of glue traps has been restricted in Wales since 2023, so we warmly welcome this ban which will help to make England a safer place for every kind.

After losing Lulu in January Gizmo went off to The Bunnyjackpot Foundation to be bonded with my other two bunnies to see if they'd accept him (even though he's like an annoying little brother!)
Here's a little video of Gizmo loving his new gf Fudge.

As many of you know, Barney's Boarding help foster for the amazing Bunnyjackpot Foundation and we have had a very sad day today after little Ruffalo took a dramatic turn for the worse yesterday. He unfortunately was not improving and so was helped on his journey to a big sleep.

If any of our clients can spare any donation towards the on going care that the Bunnyjackpot Foundation do it'd mean alot.

Many thanks

You have no idea how exhausted we are.

This month has been the worst since the inception of the rescue - financially, emotionally and everything in between.

We have been run into the ground by the pressure of people sending rehome requests, sending emails that end in criticism and adoption applications that go nowhere despite hours of effort. All of this is every day activity, but with the addition of the losses, it’s just been a lot.

Rescue is difficult at the best of times but May has just felt like it’s edging towards the tipping point. We are trying so hard - so, so hard. The thing that keeps us together as a team is the family bond we have, we’re not just a few people who care about people; we are a group of people (formed through our love of small animals) who inherently care about each other.

May has taught us how strong we are, despite the odds. And it’s also taught us how much we have to celebrate in our supporters. So thank you ❤️

Barney’s Boarding

Barney came to us as he needed a new home. Who knew how much we would fall in love with him? He had the most funniest character and bonded mostly with me (well my legs mostly!) before he had his little op. He then decided our German Shepherd would be his girlfriend and would lay by her side when he wasn’t following the chickens around outside.

When he became ill & sadly passed away 4 years after we re-homed him, it broke my heart & since then it has become a bit of a rabbit obsession between myself & my daughter.

We since have had 5 more bunnies - all rescued. We also own 4 guinea pigs & lots of chickens. I have been a local dog walker & pet sitter for many years too. I have always had a passion for animals & strongly believe in animal rights & am a vegetarian. I belong to numerous animal charities & support Viva! Blue Cross, Hillside Animal Sanctuary & IAKA which are the anti Korean Dog meat campaigners.

Barney’s Boarding is in honour of our first funny old fella.
