A rare occasion!
Larry allowing me to hold him , whilst wormed and checked his nails and teeth ! Not one bite or lunge at me!! Im impressed with the boy!
I think he's learning slowly, that im not going to hurt him on his checks , and its the only time I will disturb his life with human handling !

Beautiful 😍

Apologies on the lack of response or posting ! It's been a hard 2 weeks indeed !
Sadly my dad is now in hospital , and will Not be coming home 😢, so as you can imagine, its all of a juggling act , and what with being unable to fund raise , the stress just swamps at times! Without the donations of some wonderful ppl , I really would be up river without a paddle !
Another stressful event , was that Rue started to clash with my rescue collie , and being as he's not a straightforward dog or breed , I had to find help fast! In stepped the wonderful coppershell ... again ! They pulled some strings , made some calls ... and today Rue left us , to go stay in a rehab centre , whom are savvy in Bully breeds, and can deal with aggression . I will miss that boy so much , but my dogs have to feel safe in their own home , and as theyre collies ,with any stress , they react in ways ( pace gardens , chase cars , lead reactive , food defensive etc) that is hard to undo.
So yes, this week can jog along , I have had a stomach full 😫 😩.
BUT , want to add a huge thanks to mystery gifted, for the bag of piggy feed ! Really helps take the pressure of me , im tryelly thankful

Like many , I so dislike this weather , especially now bunnies are i doors and unable to dig burrows and forage !

So needing more brain stimulation, so far im making them work for treats .. any more ideas ?

I finely caved !! I couldn't stand seeing "Larry" stay wild all winter ! So after a fight , a few failed catches ... hes now in the winter outhouse, with all the other bunnies !
He's a tad miffed , but now enjoying trying to biteother bunny bums through bars !
Left me with another scar and a bite .. im sure he likes me a little !!

These 2 female mice are needing a family ! Just under a year old and need more handling as quite skittish to pick up !
In my experience, mice and rats are the best pets for any age , theyre forgiving , loving , highly trainable and love attention ! Fantastic pets for anyone worried about being bitten as they rarely bite (unless you have badly bred or cage sour)
Currently with owner in Swindon area !

I hand raised this boy from chick , wanted time to slow down , so I got longer with him !
Once his wings were strong , I knew the time had come ... I couldn't keep him !
I have let go of hundreds of animals , that i really wanted to love , even matilda the wild rat i reared from a pinkie. But Charliebird was spesh, and if you've experienced the loyalty of a pigeon .. you know what im feeling right now !
Thank you Coppershell Animal Rescue mat and genna , for helping him in the next part of his journey , to be paired up and soft released ! Bitter sweet emotions for me , yet knowing he's got a chance to live wild , is everything !

Rescue Rue dog really doing well ! He had vets this week to make ssure he's in good health and jabs , wormer , flea , plus check his skin folds and breathing , weight management!
He didn't once try to bite vet or misbehave in any way .. He was so chilled that he fell asleep and started snoring 😴!
Unfortunately the wood dove that arrived last week , was pts due to multiple complications , and big infection from sour crop , 😕 😫.poor soul no longer suffering and went peacefully 😢.

What a gorgeous face ! Sharing this lad in hopes that he finds a home soon ! Best breed in my opinion 👌

Breaking my heart to type this !
But "charlie'bird" tge hand raised pigeon needs his own kind , he needs to fly for miles , have chance at being a pair and raising young !
He has huge strong wings , completely weaned and now needs to learn how to be wild !
He cant understand why i no longer cuddle him , why i wont hand feed him !
It's time for him to be wild !!!
If anyone knows of anyone with wood pigeons that will be released , that have space for a youngster to join ? Please send my way !
Im not getting many responses from other rescues , and understand completely, as so busy !
