The Bank of England have announced the shortlist of animals which could potentially appear on the new bank notes. I am SO pleased hedgehogs have made it on there, make sure you cast your vote:

🚨 Guinea Pig Foster Appeal 🚨

We’re urgently looking for foster homes for guinea pigs 💛

Requirements:
🐹 A suitable enclosure — ideally a 5x2 C&C cage or a habitat with a minimum length of 160cm
🏡 Indoor homes preferred, but outdoor setups can also work if the enclosure is secure, weatherproof, predator-safe, and suitable year-round
🥬 Daily care, fresh hay, veggies, and attention

Support and advice can be provided — we just need kind people willing to offer these piggies a safe temporary place while they wait for forever homes.

If you have the space and would like to help, please get in touch or share this post to help us find more fosters 🙏

Whilst the weather has been very hot, I’ve had to be extra careful with Lilo who is a French Bulldog. Her flat face means she is more at risk of sun stroke and overheating.

Sadly that means shorter walks, earlier and later and more time in the garden instead. But it’s not all bad, because these two love to zoom round chasing each other like the crazy dogs they are🥰They do make a funny pairing 🩵🩷

Cages are getting emptier as I slowly start to shut down ready for my little holiday on Thursday. I won’t be taking any new admissions unless they are urgent cases as I’ll have to do some transfers to Stabbo & Sandiacre Spikey Rescue.

I’m off to Scotland to hopefully climb Ben Nevis and back open the following Thursday.
