Saint Beans Animal Sanctuary for Lambs

Record breaking mess! Heavy rain 🌧️ all night and most of the day so the woollies made their biggest mess ever 🫠. Both stables had to be completely cleaned out of all bedding. They tried to get back in while their human was cleaning but they had to be locked out. Beans, Frosty and Poppy snuck in though. Thankfully by late afternoon the weather cleared 😅.

Herbie trying pellets for the first time. He liked them but didn’t do much chewing. He has sunburnt ears so he came in to have sun cream applied. Meanwhile Willow’s friends Alma and Luna broke into the garden this morning and pretended they were starving 😁.

Herbie and Poppy living their best life’s ☺️. It felt like summer for the first time today. Everyone got a little overheated in the afternoon sun.

Rainbow over the woollies this morning 🌈. Then Herbie and Poppy made a mess and helped trim the areas the lawnmower missed.

Lily lamb is not messing about, she is in it to win it🥇. The 2024 wool hat competition that is.

Fanta🐏 has been looking a bit down for a couple of days and today his human noticed he was limping. He came in for a hoof treatment so he’ll be feeling better now. His human didn’t come off unscathed though 🩸. It started raining 🌧️ while we were doing it so Fanta had to stay in for 20 mins while his hooves dried. Lily has big handfuls of wool falling off now. New rescues Herbie and Poppy managed to have their afternoon play in the garden just before the rain arrived.

Ok turns out Beans’ human dad wasn’t seeing things and there are two lambs 🙌😁 (see yesterday’s post). Folks meet Herbie (Herbert). Herbie is a very cute and affectionate little boy who almost didn’t make it but now he’s running around with new rescue Poppy. I mean one lamb is never enough and they always need a friend ☺️. 🐏 Herbie is bigger and about a week older than Poppy. His mother had triplets but unfortunately she had a very difficult birth that required a vet. Sadly two died before they were born. Herbie was born first but because the mother was struggling he wasn’t able to get the critical first drink. When the mother was brought in for the vet they didn’t notice Herbie! Poor Herbie had no chance because he was already running out of energy. Luckily Beans human dad noticed him after hearing a baa while out walking. Stay tuned for more about Herbie. You can tell them apart by looking at their nose. Poppy has dark markings around her nose and Herbie doesn’t.

Folks please help Beans’ human dad out. Do you see two lambs or is he seeing an imaginary lamb-snuffleupagus running with Poppy?

Beans🐏 walking the catwalk with his new look🕺. He had a lot more wool removed today and he’s feeling great now. His human cut a little close on the sides by mistake so he might need a little sun cream. Meanwhile new rescue Poppy isn’t the fastest lamb around the garden but so far she’s the best behaved. She’s speedy out in the paddock though.

This little girl has a name! Thanks everyone for the name suggestions. PS If you saw yesterday’s post Beans was doing better and walking normally today. He did get a bit hot in the afternoon again though. He is getting clipped this weekend.

Ok the woollies bail has been posted so they were let out (see yesterday’s post for why). Special thanks to Michelle and Amy ☺️. The woollies got a hay bale while they were detained so of course they made a big mess. They got to snooze in the sun☀️ after a very rainy🌧️ night. The last slide is where the woollies escaped too yesterday. Luckily they were standing on the side in the grass but you can see how dangerous it was 😱. All entry points have been checked to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Watch the world’s naughtiest woollies getting bribed out of the big paddock with pellets. The woollies outsmarted their human again and got out into the big paddock this morning. They refused to come out all day and even though they had been overeating, the snacks still worked. Oh boy these woollies need to go on a diet and exercise program.
