The answers to our little quiz game yesterday! Thank you for participating 🙌 how many did you get correct?

Let’s play a game ✨

Are these rabbits loafed happily taking a nap OR are they hunched uncomfortably

Anyone with rabbits knows how good they can be at hiding when they are unwell so let’s test your rabbit body language knowledge!

Look through the photos and leave your guesses down below with the corresponding number on the photos (no cheating! Don’t look at other people’s guesses before making your own 😉)

Have fun! Results will be posted tomorrow!

People concerned and sad about the chickens (rightfully so) but the irony is that they were probably being transported to slaughter… the way people pick and choose when to care about animals 💔 having empathy towards them in situations like this yet not giving a second thought about eating meat

488 days in foster care….

Fostered in Gauteng 📍

Finley and chance an adorable bonded pair of dwarf buns 🤎 these two have had multiple homes fall through and are still waiting for the right family to come along, they are looking for a nice spacious indoor home with plenty of enrichment and things to chew 🪾

Their amazing foster mom recently took them for their second round of vaccines, meaning they have been with us an entire year!

Help 2025 be the year these two finally get adopted by helping to share this post 🫶🏻

What is a starter pet?

Well here’s the thing…
👏🏻 THEY 👏🏻 DO 👏🏻 NOT 👏🏻 EXIST 👏🏻

“Starter pets” “low maintenance pets” is a phrase that gets thrown around A LOT but is there any such thing as a “low maintenance pet”?

Hamsters, rabbits, mice, fish, and many other small animals are often classed as “starter pet” is it because they are normally smaller than a cat or dog? Does the size of the animal equate to the “ease” of caring for them? In most cases absolutely not! Often the smaller the more fragile and more needs they have, is it because these animals (many times wrongly!) are seen as “cage animals” and therefore “take up less space”

All animals no matter the size have their own unique care and welfare needs, one is not easier than the other, they are just DIFFERENT!

In many cases smaller “exotic” animals require specialized and often more expensive veterinary care

So perhaps you are thinking of adopting an animal but not sure where to start? Instead of looking for a “starter pet” “easy pet” look at the needs of each animal and your environment and lifestyle and see who’s needs best fit with your own

Looking for a companion to bring with you on adventures? perhaps a dog

Looking for a more independent home body? perhaps a cat

Looking for a tiny ball of anxiety and p**p that will stress you so much until your hair falls out? Perhaps rabbits 🤣 (okay that’s a bit of a joke but partly true as well)

Also take into consideration how many animals you may want to get, hamsters for instance are solitary animals! and therefore you cannot house multiple in the same enclosure, but many animals such as rats, rabbits and many birds are social species and therefore need to be kept with others of their own kind to meet welfare needs

A rabbit is not an easier animal then a dog but a dog is also not an easier animal then a rabbit, they are just DIFFERENT

“Starter pet” is an outdated and wildly inaccurate term

Swipe to see some great responses from other people on their thoughts on these terms ✨
