Meet Horace!

Horace is an African pygmy hedgehog who arrived in our care after he was bought as a pet for a young child who sadly lost interest.
He was very stressed when he first arrived, which is to be expected. He is slowly settling and doesn't stay curled up in a ball of thorny rage for simply catching sight of him for quite as long as he did when when he first arrived. However, the majority of African pygmys we've met seem to tolerate us humans more than enjoy us anyway.

At the moment, Horace is adjusting to his new surroundings and updated husbandry. Hopefully, in a few weeks, he will be available for adoption 🦔🧡

Give him the warmest of welcomes!

Everyone behind the rescue would like to wish you all a very happy Halloween 🎃👻

Fred is one of our four sanctuary Russian dwarf hamsters. He's missing his upper (maxillary) incisors, resulting in his lower (mandibular) incisors becoming overgrown. To prevent injury to the mouth, he needs his incisors burring pretty frequently. He's actually at Congleton Veterinary Centre today having them done 🧡💚.

Wish him luck!

Ryder is the last of his litter to find a forever home from the large hoarding case of hamsters we assisted with earlier in the year.
He's a beautiful young male Russian dwarf hamster with a lovely nature, although we have had a few rare occasions where he nipped because he wasn't in the mood. He's always out and about and is very food oriented.

If you think you could offer Ryder a forever home, please get in touch 🧡.

Henry and Oliver are still on a quest to find their individual forever homes 🐹

They arrived as part of the large hoarding case. They were a youngish litter, but their Mum wasn't in their container. Despite that, they've all flourished and turned into two beautiful little hams with a very sweet nature.

If you think you can offer a hammy a forever home, please get in touch. We've got lots searching for their forever home at the minute. 🧡

Pennington and Bronson arrived as part of the large hoarding case of over 500 rodents we assisted with earlier in the year.

🔸 Pennington is a social chap who's got a lovely, gentle nature.
🔸️ Bronson is very active and always out and about, but he's a calm and friendly hamster.

All hammies must have a minimum enclosure size of 100cm by 50cm. If you can offer either of these boys a forever home, please don't hesitate to get in touch! 🐹🧡

Patrick is the last of his brothers to find his forever home. He's spent most of his life in rescue and is searching for a peaceful retirement home.
He's a super friendly chap and always gives us a warm welcome. He really enjoys munching on sprays and delicious forage and LOVES a good hide.

If you think you could offer Patrick the home he has spent most of his life searching for, please don't hesitate to get in touch 🐹🧡.

Meet Tucker!

Tucker is a beautiful male Syrian who was surrendered due to no fault of his own. He was a much loved family member, which is always so nice to see, so he was already well accustomed to a life of luxury. He's around 1.5 years old and tolerates handling in short bursts, but isn't overly keen.

We'd love to find Tucker the perfect retirement home 🏡. If you think you could offer him a forever home, please don't hesitate to get in touch 🐹🧡

Meet Jericho!

Jericho joined us recently after losing his last friend. He's a lucky ratty, having come from an outstanding home, but due to a change in circumstances, they're currently not in a position to take on more rats.
Jericho is a mature neutered male who's suffered with chronic respiratory disease for quite a while, so his lungs are quite scarred. We've already boarded Jericho and his friends multiple times, so we're pretty familiar with him and his illness. As such, he will be joining one of our sanctuary mischiefs of rats.

Give him the warmest of welcomes 🐀🧡.

Meet Delta and Belle!.

These two beautiful young female rats arrived in our care due to a change in their previous owners' circumstances. They're extremely timid, and Delta does have quite the nip to her. We will see how these girls get on throughout their assessment period 😊.

Give them the warmest of welcomes! 🐀🧡

How We Started

For decades, our team have kept and studied a variety of animals from Siberian chipmunks, sugar gliders, to striped skunks - you name it.

After a few years break from keeping exotic small mammals, The Bacchus family purchased a pair of Mongolian gerbils in 2015 - Rupert and Roland. We soon remembered what remarkable companions these small creatures are. On the other hand, we also saw how misunderstood and misinformed much of the general public about these amazing animals. Many people seemed to overlook and even look down on exotic animals. Some would treat them as though they were insignificant, if not inferior to more commonly kept pets such as dogs and cats.

Since keeping a larger range of rescued exotic small mammals, we started to become aware of just how many animals were unable to get the help they needed for reasons beyond their control. The general public mostly seemed unaware of the crisis surrounding rabbits, rodents, mustelids, marsupials, and the other exotic animals slipping through the cracks.

The Bacchus family founded a team of expert trustees who've since proudly helped hundreds of exotic small mammals. We created Bacchus Residents Rescue to help exotic small mammals at our home facilities in the aim to rehabilitate, and re-home animals wherever possible. Those who cannot be rehomed for health, behavioural, or other reasons stay within our facilities as sanctuary residents.
