Home and Away

Over the last few days we have had quite a turnaround in our guests and we have had to say goodbye to some and a big hello to others.

Thursday saw the arrival of some old friends in Toto and Cottontail. They are two male rabbits who have to live apart. They are residing in our split level hutch and take turns to come out in the attached run. We had a bit of late night stamping from them the first night they were here, but they have settled in well now.

Going home that day was Daisy guinea pig. She is 5 years old but still enjoyed getting out in the run and taking in the nice weather we are having at the moment.

Friday saw the arrival of Katie and Minnie guinea pigs, who have stayed with us on numerous occasions and also the return of Barley rabbit, who only went home last week, but is back again whilst his owners are away on holiday. We also had the pleasure of taking in Rosy and Skylark, whose owners got married on Saturday and are now off on honeymoon for the next two weeks.
Sadly we had to say farewell to Bigwig, who has taken a special place in our hearts and made us hope that we can get ourselves a French lop with such a nice, gentle nature. He is coming back for another short visit soon and we look forward to seeing him again then.

Other arrivals were Snuffles and Cappucino, two males that came from the rescue at Windwhistle Warren, and are very quiet natured. They get on really well together and we have already seen them in a mutual washing session.

More departures were Archie, the house rabbit, who was very cute and quiet and yesterday the owners of Sandy and Squeaky guinea pig collected them also.

Oscar rabbit and his friend Mooey arrived for a weeks visit. When we last saw Oscar he was was very ill. Oscar is still recovering from his illness, but is making great leaps and bounds (literally) since we saw him last. He is now able to run around and feed himself, although he still has trouble drinking from a bowl, but is persevering.

Pictures and more updates will follow later today and over the coming week.
