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 🧡

Meet Warren and Everett!

These two cheeky gerbils arrived alongside Posey the Syrian hamster as part of a larger welfare case.
The boys are still settling in, so they remain rather reclusive and skittish at the moment (especially Everett), however, they've dug a marvelous burrow to retreat to for security. We are sure with time and patience, the boys will grow to be more comfortable around people.

We have limited information on the pair, but we guess the boys are at least a year old, possibly up to 2. They're still under assessment, but we've got no concerns at the moment. Learning to tell them apart has been extra fun as well!

Give Warren and Everett the warmest of welcomes 😊

A big thank you once again to Alpha And Street Legal Tyres LTD for purchasing 2 pallet loads of cardboard bedding to the rescue. They've regularly supported us for so many years and we are eternally grateful for them. It allows us to help so many extra animals. 🧡

Thank you once again ☺️

Meet Posey!

Posey was part of a larger rescue of hamsters and gerbils that were spread out between ourselves and Tiny Paws MCR. Posey was first described as agitated, and she was certainly trying her hardest to escape the tiny unsuitable living conditions she'd been rescued in. It was agreed she'd benefit from a large tank as soon as possible as she was a big risk of either chewing out her enclosure, or potentially causing damage to her incisors with excessive bar chewing.

Posey is a typical active young female Syrian hamster with a sprinkling of diva! It didn't take long for this lovely lady to build a deep burrow and burn off some energy on an appropriately sized wheel. You could see the stress of being unable to exhibit natural behaviours fade away before your very eyes. She's much more content and relaxed since settling in.

Once she's finished her assessment period, Posey will be looking for a forever home. She will need a large glass tank no smaller than 100cm by 50cm, but 120cm by 50cm would be preferred.

For now, give her the warmest of welcomes! 🧡

Meet Millie!

We recently welcomed some milipedes behind the scenes. When searching the enclosure, we were very surprised when we stumbled across a sealed over giant African land snail buried deep in the substrate.
We slowly woke Millie up, and other than being a little sluggish with a worn shell, Millie is completely fine. They now have a heated enclosure to themselves, and access to an appropriate diet. They seem much more alert and content now they've had a few weeks to recover 🐌.

Millie is now looking for a forever home.
If you think you can offer this beautiful snail a forever home, drop us a message 🧡.

Meet Elvis and Priscilla!

These two gorgeous chinchillas were taken to a vets to be euthanised as their owner no longer care for them. Luckily, an amazing vet nurse who we know stepped in and was able to save them from a very sad end. They've been through an extremely lengthy rehabilitation period as Priscilla was put on pregnancy watch, and Elvis was neutered as well.

This lively duo are now ready to find their forever home. They're very brave and confident, especially for chinchillas. They're approximately 2 years old and in great health. They must be rehomed together.

Give them the warmest of welcomes 🧡.

Reintroducing Billie,

We rehomed Billie as a young doe back in early 2023. She's had a truly wonderful life with her adopters, but they've decided to take a break from owning rats after a change in circumstances.
Billie is still a lively lady with a spring in her step, but became very depressed since recently becoming a lone rat. She does have significant respiratory disease as well, but is otherwise in good health.

We always offer rescue space back up to any animal we've adopted out, and, in this case, it was decided that it was within Billie's best interest to be returned to our care so she could find some companionship with our sanctuary females and neutered male rats. We don't doubt that our sanctuary mischief will welcome her with open arms once she's finished her assessment period.

Give her the warmest of welcomes 🥰.

Meet Hamilton!

Hamilton has a very bold and fiery personality who's not had the best start in life. He's a beautiful male gerbil who will be looking for companionship in the future. He's always lived alone in a rubbish gerbilarium, but we hope he will be on his best behaviour when the time comes to meet a new friend.

Since arriving, Hamilton has blossomed and is now acting as any gerbil should; he's burrowing and destroying things to his hearts content. It's so lovely to see him finally being able carry out some of his natural behaviours. He just needs to find himself a buddy now!

For now, give him 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!

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.
