Small animals

Having a pet can be expensive and involves you in making a long term commitment to your adopted pet. Regular expenses you will have include weekly food bills, yearly booster vaccinations, boarding fees during holidays, pet insurance, and any unexpected veterinary treatment charges.

Is a small animal the right pet for you?

  • Can you afford £5 a week for food
  • Can you give your pet a safe and secure space to live in?
  • Can you afford up to £10 a month for pet insurance?
  • Can you be at home for part of every day?
  • If needed can you afford veterinary treatment throughout your pet’s life?
  • Can you afford to board your pet or arrange for family or friends to look after your pet while you are on holiday?

If you can answer YES to these questions then read on to find out about adopting a small animal.

TINKLE

Tinkle was signed over to us as she was no longer wanted by her owners, the kids were scared of her.

She is a friendly hamster, she does occassionally nip when handled, possibley due to being handled poorly in her previous home. She just needs a confident owner who knows what they are doing when picking her up.

HAZELNUT & CHESTNUT

These little sqeakers were signed over to us after their owners decided they no longer wanted them, they had been used as breeding machines so we were quite releived to hear that they were no longer doing this.

Hazelnut & Chestnut are lovely friendly little girls who who are happy being handled. They are looking for a home togther, and they could even go to a home to keep a lonely female or single castrated boar company.

PLUM & CHOCOLATE

Plum & Chocolate are a couple of little guinea pigs who are desperately hoping to find a home together as a pair. They were both born in our care after their pregnant moms were signed over to us from an unsuitable home.

Plum & Chocolate are sweet little pigs who are used to being handled, although they can be a bit flighty until you have got hold ofthe, but they soon calm down once in your arms and are happy to sit with you and munch on a bit of carrot whilst having a stroke.

Guinea pigs are active lottle things so will need lots of room for mooching about and interesting tunnels and tubes to explore and investigate.

STRAWBERRY & CROWBERRY

Strawberry and Crowberry are a apir of guinea pigs who were signed over from an unsuitable household.

They are friendly but can be a little wriggley when handled. They are a very happy couple and will spend all day long following eachother around, chattering as they go.

BILBERRY & MULBERRY

Bilberry & Mulberry came from a multi animal household that really wasn’t coping with the numbers of animals so well.

These boys have always lived together and do seem very smitten with one another so we are hoping to find them a home where they will be able to remain as a pair. These boys are a little shy as they haven’t been handled a great deal in their previous life, but already are getting a lot more confident and the squeaking levels are increasing the bolder they get!

These boys would be suitable to home to an indoor or outdoor environment.
