After searching for his forever home for 9 months, Ezekiel has been adopted! ❤️

Before he arrived to us, he was abandoned by his previous family, left in a tiny enclosure filled with months and months worth of faeces. He has a nasal deformity that prevented many people from adopting him. He is the sweetest boy and we are so grateful he has finally found a family that will love him the way he always deserved!

Newest rescue: Meet Hank the 3 year old, Male, bearded dragon! He absolutely loves to climb and is a good boy who eats all his greens! Isn’t he handsome!

He was unfortunately being housed in a viv less than 2ft long his whole life before coming to us, so he is definitely enjoying the space we have for him here ❤️

We are at risk of shutting our doors permanently. We are already turning away severe medical cases because we can’t afford the vet bills that comes with them, and who knows what happens to those animals then :(

We have tried to raise money in other ways like the creation of “friends of ruby’s reptiles”, an instagram group chat that gets insider information on the rescue, the animals and how it is run, but apart from 3 people, nobody else has joined.

In October alone we spent over £1,000 on the rescue. This included vets bills, food, supplements and other necessities and received £40 in standalone donations. We hate that we have to come online and beg for donations, but that has not been working.

If we don’t start receiving donations soon, we are going to have to permanently close down, leaving a massive gap in aid for reptiles in our area and the UK. We really do not want to do this, but we receive no funding or grants or any government support. We do this all ourselves and from the donations you guys give!

What a permanent closure would look like: we would remain open for advice until all current rescues are adopted out. Once all rescues have been adopted we would shut our website down. We would keep our instagram open for anyone that has any questions but after a while would likely shut this down too. This would leave only one other reptile rescue in the south wales area open. We do not want this to happen and the work we do is honestly too important for this.

So please, donate, share and support the work we do before it’s too late ❤️

With the next season due to be aired soon, we thought we should highlight the abuse that has been going on for years.

Animals are not for human entertainment. They are not objects. They are not disposable.
The abuse the animals on this show face is abhorrent and the fact it has continued for years is disgraceful. The use of wild animals in circuses is banned in the UK due to animal welfare issues, yet they are allowed to broadcast a show that has no regard for animal welfare. The show villainises innocent creatures and sets educators and advocates who work tirelessly to give a voice for these animals and educate the public on these animals back. Animals used on the show display clear signs of stress, and many appear underweight.

The UK claims to be a nation of animal lovers, but millions tune in to watch and support this show every year.

Look how beautiful May is! She absolutely loves to bask under her heat and UVB ❤️

She is one of the sweetest royals we have ever rescued and can’t believe she is still here searching for her forever home! She has been here for over a year now and really deserves a loving forever home!

Please share so we can find her forever home ❤️

Arlo and mavis saw our vet today

Arlo has been experiencing some possible neurological symptoms and head tremors along with not eating very well. We have sent off some blood work today for a blood panel and to test for potential viruses

Mavis is doing very well in herself but has reoccurring bubbly eyes, so we have also sent off blood work to test for viruses just incase! We should get the results for both soon!

Today’s appointments cost £628, leaving our vet fund pretty empty. Any donations towards these medical bills would be so appreciated! We need donations to continue our rescue work, without them, we cant help animals in need ❤️ Thank you!!
