Nibbles is here to help offer a safe haven to rodents and rabbits while they wait to find their special forever humans. All our rabbits are neutered and vaccinated prior to re-homing. All prospective adopters will be home-checked and Nibbles offers back up for life - this means if you can no longer keep a pet adopted from Nibbles you MUST return them to us.

Why is this lovely boy still waiting for a wifebun and home of his own?

He's a really amazing bun and should not be waiting years in rescue!

Please welcome Tegan

This lovely lady arrived with us this week and so far is settling in well. However, we have a number of concerns with her overall health. She's been through quite a bit over the last couple of weeks and first and foremost we wanted to give her a little time to settle with close monitoring. She'll be visiting the vet early next week and we suspect she'll require a dental for molar spurs. It's very hard to get a good look at molars while awake, but it does look like her bottom teeth could be rubbing against her tongue, especially on the left. Overall she is in poor condition but is happily eating pellets and at present is being given Pro-fibre to help increase gut health. She is reluctant to eat hay and this could be a sign of dental spurs or simply as she's been over fed commercial mixes and it's never occurred to her to eat her 'bedding' before. Sadly we see this a lot with buns arriving at the centre.

There is a very difficult line to draw when buns arrive with dental issues along side other health concerns and we have to closely weigh the pro's and con's of surgery on a day to day basis.

For a healthy rabbit, in good condition, the risks of complications are generally low, however, when gut health and general condition are poor the risks of complications increase.

Giving her a little time to settle and helping to improve her gut health prior to surgery will give her the best possible chance of a speedy recovery.

Tegan also needs to be spayed and vaccinated, putting a lot on this little lass and her limited reserves.

We will keep you updated with her progress over the coming weeks and ask that you all keep her in your thoughts and prayers. This beautiful girl with such a trusting nature really does deserve the chance of a happy and hoppy life.

These boys have now spent 1004 days in rescue!!!

They came into this world as part of an unwanted litter and where handed into our care with a number of other buns, including their parents.

They have grown up in rescue and while we do everything we can to keep them happy and hoppy, rescue life simply isn't the same as a forever home.

These shy but sweet boys really deserve a chance and should not have spent so long in rescue.

If you can offer these boys their long awaited forever home please visit www.nibbles.org.uk/adoption

Gillian, Miss V A Kitson, Mrs C O'Malley, Christine McLintock, Shan Simkins, Fflur, Lucy Trubey & Cori Chantay, Linzi Jones, Gemma Willmer, Haf Isabel Fisher, Kate, Amanda Chesterman, Nis & Duncan and the anonymous donors for helping to restock our store room.

The buns are now convinced that they should be getting double portions, or better yet just be left in the store room to help themselves.

Thank you all again, you guys are amazing and the buns have plenty of food to keep them going now.

A big thank you to Fiona Ramsden, Victoria Bowen and John Lewis for their recent donations towards neutering and vaccination costs to enable us to reopen some of our kennels and offer a vital lifeline to rabbits in need.

We neuter and vaccinate all buns, but at a cost of around £200 per rabbit (depending on weight and s*x) we are currently unable to reopen these kennels without your help!

We currently have enough funding to cover the intake costs of 2 rabbits, with enough long-term resources to help a further 3 buns, if we can cover their intake costs.

We hate to have to keep asking, we really and truly do, but we have no other option if we are to offer help to further buns. If anyone is able to make a one off donation towards these vital costs, we would be very very grateful and you really will be making a life changing difference to the rabbits needing our help.

You can donate via our PayPal Giving Fund page which is a 100% fee free platform, meaning we'll receive 100% of your donation at: paypal.com/gb/fundraiser/charity/196597

As always a big thank you to anyone able to help us, your donation, no matter how small, really will be making a massive difference and we genuinely couldn't do the work we do without all of our amazing supporters.

The Last Bag!!

We are about to open our last bag of feed! The buns are all very concerned that they will starve to death within the next 48 hours *sigh* We've tried to explain that this will not be the case, but you know you what buns are like when it comes to dinner!

They would be very grateful to anyone able to gift them a bag of feed, a box of treats and maybe a toy or two from their Amazon wishlist, which can be found here:

We've worked so hard over the last few weeks finishing all the repairs and maintenance jobs which have run so late due to the awful start to the year weatherwise. We've got one small job left, but we are now able to help 4-5 rabbits in need of rescue support.

We have finished the repairs and renovations to Carrot's Cabin while Nacho, Chilli and Salsa have been bunking in another enclosure.

We've opened up the space by removing the old base which had rotted due to our mole problem at the centre. There was a small gap between the paving slabs and the cheeky moles had filled the entire area with mud.

Rather than replacing the base we filled in the gap with some cement and removed the double doors opening up the area to allow for more continuous space to hop around. It will also enable us to place litter trays in the sheltered area to prevent them from getting wet during the very frequent summer showers we are experiencing this year!

We have also lined the area using the offcuts of PVC we had left over for easier cleaning and to brighten up the area, along with a panel on the righthand side of the run to prevent the nettles we can't reach, growing through the mesh and stinging us all!

We've got a couple more small jobs to finish off and then the boys can move back in to their upgraded accommodation and we'll have another job crossed off the list!

*PLEASE SHARE*
These lovely girls have been waiting for their forever home for over a year now. They would be most suited to an outdoor home, as they love to dig out their litter trays! They are confident, but can be cautious of new people. With more one-to-one attention they will blossom in a forever home.

Know your limits!

If there was one piece of advice I would give to anyone passionate about animals, it would be that!

Knowing your limits whether as an individual or as a rescue is vitally important! They say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions and this couldn't be more true for those of us passionate about animals.

All too often it's easy to think that one more animal won't make that much difference, but remember there's always that last straw that broke the camel's back. At some stage you will fail ALL the animals in your care if you take on too much.

We absolutely hate having to continue to turn animals away, but I know that, under our current circumstances, taking in more at this time will fail them all. We are months behind with annual repairs, we've had to write off other work and we are still seriously struggling to meet our monthly running cost.

We are at our limits physically right now and adding in even one more rabbit will take up time we simply don't have. There's cleaning the pen, vet trips for vaccines and neutering and ensuring that the new bun is settling ok. It may not seem like much but it will use the small amount of time available to finish repair work which will keep our other buns safe, dry and cosy in the fast approaching winter.

Once we've finished the work we will be able to offer help to a couple more buns, but we can't offer any further spaces, as we are financially unable to cover vital costs involved in reopening all our housing. It would leave the buns without sufficient funding for veterinary care, we don't have enough staff to ensure pens are cleaned properly and regularly, and we won't be able to provide enough feed and bedding.

It seems really unfair, and we all feel really guilty when we say no, but we have a duty of care to all the buns currently in our care and we have to know and recognise our limits when it comes to keeping everyman happy, hoppy, and healthy.

Save some for your brother boys!

Doyle's another bun to have been in the property ladder at the centre, he's also upgraded to a bigger pen which is more open and he hope will help him continue to grow in confidence around people.

He's come on leaps and bounds while being with us, but can still remain a little nervous and with more space we hope he will continue to grow in confidence while he continues to wait patiently for his forever home.

How small does Binky look in her kennel!

Since Taco has left us for his forever home, we've been able to give Binky a bit more space in one of our larger enclosures.

She's enjoying having a little more room to hop about and seems much less frustrated.

One of our least favourite jobs! If anyone has found a better, quicker and more effective way to remove fur from the mesh please let us know! So far using a brush seems to be our most effective method, but no one likes doing it.

Little update...

Slowly but surely we are getting through the repair work. As you all know, we've really struggled this year with so much bad weather, but the to do list is getting smaller.

Our trio of boys, Nacho, Salsa and Chilli have temporarily moved into a different enclosure today. This will enable us to replace a floor in their enclosure and add a section of PVC to one side of the run against the cabin, to prevent nettles from growing through and stinging everyone. The enclosure also needs a good powerhose before the boys can move back in.

So that's the mission for the next couple of weeks. We'll let you know how we get on!

You all know this year has been really tough on so many levels. We are getting very close to finishing all the essential maintenance and repair work which should have been completed months ago, but due to the late start as a direct result of the awful and unprecedented weather at the beginning of the year, jobs we should have finished in April were only started in June!

We would absolutely love to get two further kennels reopened over the coming weeks, allowing us to cater for more rabbits. We are still regularly turning rabbits (and rodents) away, as we simply can’t afford to take any further animals in our care.

To be able to reopen these two kennels we have to increase our regular monthly funding by £645

Will you help us?

Your regular monthly donation will help keep the buns in warm comfy beds, clean litter trays, all you can eat hay buffets and plenty of TLC from our dedicated welfare team. But we genuinely can’t do it without you!

You can join our amazing team of superheroes who are directly responsible for changing little lives for the better. You can become a vital part of our work and know that you are making a big difference to a little life in need each month.

From as little as £1 each month, donated via standing order (100% fee free) you can bring hope to a rabbit in need of rescue support, so please sign up today and make your pledge to these forgotten animals.
