Fernando, Pearl, and Coral are still searching for their forever home!

They're a gorgeous trio of piggies around 1 year old. Fernando is a neutered boar, and Pearl and Coral are spayed sows. They'd be able to join an existing herd or sows, or stay as a trio 😊.

If you think you can offer them a home, please get in touch 🧡

Meet Raymond!

Raymond is a super cute young male Syrian hamster who recently joined us. He's currently in foster with Retirement Rats, he's settling in very well and is a real sweetheart 😍. As always, a big thank you to them for helping us out 💙🧡.

We hope Raymond will soon find a home once he's finished his assessment period in a few weeks 😊.

Give him the warmest of welcomes! 🧡

Meet Ralph!

Ralph was surrendered due to no fault of his own. He's a beautiful shy male Syrian hamster. He's not been the biggest fan of us humans so far, but he's still adjusting to his new surroundings. Given some time and some kindness, we are sure Ralph will blossom into a sweet little ham.

He's currently under assesment, but Ralph will be looking for a quiet forever home with no young children. Housing must be a minimum of 100cm by 50cm.

For now, give him the warmest of welcomes 🥰

Meet Basil!

This handsome chap is our first new arrival of 2025 and will be joining our sanctuary male mischief of rats. Basil has come from a very loving home who've come to the end of their rat journey.
Basil is a middle aged man with chronic respiratory disease. His disease is currently well managed, thanks to his owners efforts.

Once he's finished his assessment period, he will have friends again some fellow ratties. 🐀🧡

Give Basil the warmest of welcomes! 🥰

Meet Candy, Cane, December, Winter, and Bauble!

We recently responded to a rather sad case of unwanted baby dwarf hamsters. They'd been left fighting; all of them had lots of bite marks, scars, and fur missing. They were also pretty dirty and had urine stained coats.

After arriving, they were separated and most went off into foster with both Retirement Rats and Mairead. Their invaluable efforts really helped these guys turn a corner. They provided a safe and cosy, home and they no longer had to sleep with one eye open! Their wounds quickly healed and they've blossomed into wonderful little hammys. We'd like to take this time to thank them for their hard work. Without them, this rescue wouldn't have been possible 🧡💙.

These 5 beautiful Russian dwarfs will be able to go to their individual forever homes in the New Year. They're lovely little chaps and still have plenty of growing to do. Enclosures must be a minimum of 100cm by 50cm. 😊

For now, give these boys the warmest of welcomes!

Meet Nicholas and Holly!

*Nicholas is reserved 😍*

These two stunning Syrian hamsters were signed over due to no fault of their own. They're chalk and cheese, with Holly being very sweet and innocent, meanwhile Nicholas can be high strung and rather dramatic!

We would also like to say an extra special thank you to The Misfits Mischief Mansion for fostering these two when they first arrived until they could be housed at the rescue. Thank you for the amazing work you do. 🤎🧡

Nicholas had several necrotic digits and injuries to his paws. As a result, he's now missing a few toes as they were unable to be saved. This won't impact his quality of life, and he has since healed beautifully. We've been working with socialising him, and he now responds well to gentle handling, however, he has been known to scream the place down over minor disturbances. He is improving, though! To add to his quirks, Nicholas is a relentless chewer, and had already started to create an impressive escape route in his original cage. It's essential he lives in a spacious glass tank, no smaller than 100cm by 50cm. Whoever adopts this little oddball will definitely fall head over heels (I know I already have 🤐). He's got so much character and seeing him come out his shell has been very rewarding.

Holly would also benefit from a spacious forever home, ideally barless, as she's a typical busy female with lots of energy. She's extremely nosey, and will come and inspect what us humans are up to if she hears us about. Her longer fur is also a magnet for bedding to stick to, so you must be confident in handling as you will need to maintain her coat. She's an absolutely gorgeous lady and she has the personality to match that beautiful face 😍.

They will be looking for individual forever homes in the New Year, if you think you could offer a hamster a home, please get in touch 🧡🎉

Welcome back to Romeo and Ronnie!

This handsome pair were adopted out as babies back in early 2023, since then, their owner has decided they needed to have a break from rat ownership. They're now almost 2 years old with some evidence of respiratory disease and early onset of hind leg degeneration. They'll be staying on as sanctuary boys, hopefully joining our mischief of old male rats.

This month, we've already welcomed 32 individuals from rats, to mice and hamsters. It's looking like we are going to have a busy Christmas, and we'd love to spoil everyone this year 🎅🎁.
We'd like to do one last push of our Christmas wishlist to make sure any donations arrive in time for the big day. You can order via this link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/23EDIC2GBGEYD?ref_=wl_share

As always, if you'd like to send a donation, but not via our Christmas wishlist, please get in touch 😊.
Thank you to all those who've donated 🎄

Give Ronnie and Romeo a warm welcome back 🧡.

Meet Mischa!

Mischa arrived in our care from very unsuitable living conditions. Her previous owners had, unfortunately, been quite misinformed about hamster care. She'd also been given to them as a male, but we correctly sexed her as female upon arrival.

Despite the sad start in life, Mischa is doing very well and is settling in really well to her new surroundings.
She's quite calm with gentle handling, and we are confident she will make a lovely companion for someone once she's finished her assessment period.

For now, give her the warmest of welcomes 🧡

Happy Halloween! 🎃 We had some lovely spooky treats donated, so here's a video of some of our current residents tucking in 🧡. #animalrescue #animalsanctuary #adoptdontshop #halloween

Harrington underwent an abdominal castration yesterday. He is recovering really well, though he was very fascinated by his wound at the vets despite proper post-op pain meds. He should be back to normal in a few days, but for now, he is enjoying some Weight Up Baby from @ratwarehouse and enjoying all the extra attention. 🥰 #rats #norwayrats #fancyrats #animalrescue #animalsanctuary #adoptdontshop

James has been relentlessly training to complete the Manchester Marathon! During his training, he's been fundraising to help raise much needed funds for the rescue. Today, he pushed himself to the limit, and he's only gone and done it! 👏 👏 Here's the moment he crossed the finish line 🏁 You can show him support: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/jamesyates?utm_term=jyeXZJG5R&fbclid=IwAR1WPJDQ5ODtf5EPhmca2Bp0cYjm1JtDGgNUf3kE_5AnSgP6U0eoGin4rSc Well done, James! You're an inspiration 🧡 #ManchesterMarathon #animalrescue #animalsanctuary

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.
