HELP US NAME OUR BUNNIES! 🐰🐰

Two adorable bunnies have hopped into our lives - but they’re missing something very important… names! That’s where YOU come in. 💬✨

🐇 One of these little ones has an especially touching story. She was found abandoned in a cardboard box and brought to us by a kind passerby. Thanks to their compassion, she’s now safe, warm, and part of our rescue family.

Now, we need your help to give her - and her fluffy companion - the perfect names.

How to take part:

- Drop your best bunny name suggestions in the comments below! Whether it’s sweet, silly, clever, or poetic - we want to hear them all!

- Share our post if you can!

Competition Details:

We’re looking for two names: one for a boy (grey bunny) and one for a girl (lighter coloured bunny)
It’s completely free to enter
The competition will run for one week
Winners will be announced on 24th June

Let’s give these bunnies names as special as they are. 💕

📣 Please share this post to help more bunny lovers join in!

Ready, set, hop to it! 🐰🐰

We are so grateful to Ozzy’s family Vanessa Martin
for opening their hearts and sharing this touching update with us. It means so much when our rehomers let us know how their beloved animals are doing, and we truly appreciate you letting us be part of Ozzy’s story.

“Sadly we lost Ozzy at the great age of 19 at the beginning of the year. She was 11 when we adopted her and have many happy memories with her.” 🌈 😻

What a week for the horses! They have just had a day with Denise from Sussex Equine Massage Therapy teaching Kinesiology Taping to a range of students - from vet physios to horse owners looking to make horses’ lives as happy and comfortable as possible.

Thank you to Denise, all who attended and of course the horses. Great work!

Remember our Washing Machine Appeal?

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, you raised enough funds for us to purchase not one, but TWO industrial washing machines - plus a brand new dryer!

They were recently plumbed in, and as you can see, they’re already hard at work keeping our animals’ bedding fresh and clean.

This amazing contribution makes a huge difference to our daily operations and helps us focus even more on the care and wellbeing of the animals at Ferne.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated and shared our appeal - your kindness truly keeps Ferne running smoothly!

From all of us and our animals - thank you! 💚

The landscape here at Ferne is at its finest - bursting with vibrant greens, tranquil views, and all the signs of nature thriving in early summer. 🌿

One of the best ways to take it all in is from our viewing platform, which offers a breathtaking panorama across the beautiful Blackdown Hills.

Whether you’re admiring the rolling countryside, catching sight of some of our resident animals, or simply enjoying the rich variety of local wildlife, a visit to Ferne offers a welcome dose of calm and wellbeing. It’s the perfect spot to pause, reflect, and soak up the scenery.
