Snap, Crackle, Rizzle, and Flake are four single males who urgently need neutering due to hormonal aggression with other rats. Each neuter costs us just over £130, which soon adds up. However, it'll drastically improve their quality of life, and is unavoidable in this situation.
Snap and Crackle will be neutered on Monday. 🐀

Wisp and Redd also have chronic respiratory disease and have been on antibiotics. They're doing well as a pair but will need more intervention before being available for adoption.

Luckily, Cookie and Flash seem to be a solid pair and have no underlying disease. They're currently in foster with the amazing Retirement Rats. We couldn't do cases like this without them 💙.

This comes at a difficult time, as we already had a lumpectomy scheduled Monday for Una who was searching for a home, but will need the mammary tumour removing before being able to find a home.
We also have rabbit vaccines scheduled for two of our sanctuary rabbits on Tuesday. 🐰

We totally understand that not everyone is in a position to donate, and that's okay. You could like and share this post and maybe it'll reach someone who can 😊.
Thank you in advance for everyone's continued support. 🧡

Those of you who follow us closely may have seen that us, alongside a network of amazing rescues, assisted with a sensitive case where hamsters were left to breed out of control.
Some were nursing Mums, some were pregnant again, almost all were fighting, and were living in wildly unsuitable accommodation.

Due to recently taking over 30 hamsters from a different hoarding case, we were only able to commit to 5 male Russian dwarfs. So, meet Sprite, Pepsi, Vimto, Fanta, and Tango.
Upon arrival, we separated them into their own enclosures as they were squabbling on the journey here. After a quick assesment, our volunteers Zara, Mairead, and Rosie opted to foster them. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have been able to help with this truly awful case. They all report that the hams are absolutely lovely and settling in very well 🥰. Hopefully, they'll be able to start looking for their forever homes in the coming weeks.

Walnut, Ebony, Olive, and Bamboo are around 6-7 months old and are quite shy. They'll happily accept treats and can be picked up, but don't enjoy being held for long periods. We do believe they'll improve substantially with someone able to give them the time and attention they need. They've already made great progress since being with us 😊.
They've got no health issues, and should be able to join an existing mischief, and we'd like them to go as a four. Their previous owner said they were very easy to introduce to others.

If you think you could offer these gorgeous ladies a forever home, please get in touch 🐀🧡

What an amazing team effort! So proud to work alongside some amazing rescues 🧡🐹

A massive thank you once again to Alpha And Street Legal Tyres LTD for donating another 30 bales of ecobale cardboard bedding for some of our residents 🐀🧡. There's been a few big rescue cases behind the scenes, so this couldn't have come at a better time.
The team at Alpha have been a massive support for so many years and we really couldn't do it without them. So a big thank you from everyone here! 😊😊

Rufus and Romeo are a beautiful male duo of chinchillas looking for their forever home!
They're mature lads, with Rufus being approximately 14 years old, and Romeo being around 7 years old. They're confident chinchillas, and will come to you in exchange of some tasty snacks. They're very nosey, and they're always surveying what's going on around them. Like most chinchillas, they don't appreciate being handled.

Chinchillas are a big commitment with complex dietary needs and large space requirements. Despite Rufus and Romeo's age, chinchillas are very long-lived rodents, and these guys could still have many years left in them. If you think you could offer an these guys a forever home, please don't hesitate to get in touch 🧡.

Fernando, Coral, and Pearl are a trio consisting of a neutered boar and two spayed sows. They're a gorgeous young herd of piggies who've really grown in confidence since being here. They're absolutely beautiful and are very interested in everything that goes on around them 😊.
Fernando and Pearl are long-haired, so will need to be groomed frequently to prevent their coat from matting. They both tolerate this quite well and are familiar with grooming sessions, and we can happily assist with future grooming should their adopter require us too. They can join an existing herd of sows, and would need a spacious forever home.

If you think you could offer them a forever home, please get in touch 🧡🏡.

Patrick and Pablo are two sweet male Russian dwarf hamsters who've spent the majority of their lives in rescue searching for their individual forever homes.
Whilst we all absolutely adore these two, they definitely deserve to have a life in a home all of their own.

They're roughly 1.5 years old and have a lovely nature. They both tolerate handling quite well, but sometimes prefer to be left to their own devices.

Minimum housing requirements should be 100cm by 50cm.

If you think you could offer either of these boys a forever home, please get in touch 🐹🧡

Spider and Squid are two gorgeous male hobs still searching for their forever home 🧡

They're our current longest-stay residents. Both boys are neutered and microchipped and are in good health.
They're the silliest, lickiest, friendliest boys with truly lovely personalities.
Unfortunately, they cannot live with other ferrets. Despite their placid nature with humans and each other, they won't accept others. Little is known about their history as they arrived as unclaimed strays from a vet practice, but they came to us in March 2023.

If you think you could offer these beauties a forever home, please get in touch! 🏡🧡

Calypso, Elvis, and Priscilla are a fairly young, bonded trio of chinchillas who all had a rough start in life. Elvis is a neutered male with a very cheeky reputation, whilst the girls are more laid back.
They, like most chinchillas, aren't a fan of handling, but they're outgoing and will happily come bouncing over if they know snacks are on the table!

The trio will need a spacious and large metal cage, with plenty of space to free roam. They adore their Tic Tac wheel, so ideally they'd like a home with one of those too. These guys absolutely inhale all sorts of dried forage, with marigold being a particular favourite. They very much like their Timothy hay as well.
They're all in great health and have had no previous issues. Chinchillas are a big commitment, but we know the perfect home must be out there somewhere.

If you think you can offer this beautiful group a forever home, please get in touch!

Yotsuyu and Gosetsu are mother and son Chinese hamsters who arrived from the extremely large hoarding case of rodents earlier this year.

Yotsuyu arrived nursing her son, Gosetsu. She was a brilliant mother and raised him well. They're now looking for their individual forever homes.

🔸 Yotsuyu is very placid and sweet and loves to snuggle into pockets and fall asleep. She's an early riser which means you'll get plenty of opportunity to see her out an about.
🔸️ Gosetsu has more energy and can be a bit flighty when being picked up, but if you allow him to walk out onto your hands on his own he usually behaves. He LOVES his wheel and is often seen doing a sprinting marathon from early evening onwards.

They're both lovely hams who deserve their happily ever afters. If you think you could offer them a home, please get in touch 🐹🧡.

How We Started

For decades, our team have kept and studied a variety of animals from Siberian chipmunks, sugar gliders, to striped skunks - you name it.

After a few years break from keeping exotic small mammals, The Bacchus family purchased a pair of Mongolian gerbils in 2015 - Rupert and Roland. We soon remembered what remarkable companions these small creatures are. On the other hand, we also saw how misunderstood and misinformed much of the general public about these amazing animals. Many people seemed to overlook and even look down on exotic animals. Some would treat them as though they were insignificant, if not inferior to more commonly kept pets such as dogs and cats.

Since keeping a larger range of rescued exotic small mammals, we started to become aware of just how many animals were unable to get the help they needed for reasons beyond their control. The general public mostly seemed unaware of the crisis surrounding rabbits, rodents, mustelids, marsupials, and the other exotic animals slipping through the cracks.

The Bacchus family founded a team of expert trustees who've since proudly helped hundreds of exotic small mammals. We created Bacchus Residents Rescue to help exotic small mammals at our home facilities in the aim to rehabilitate, and re-home animals wherever possible. Those who cannot be rehomed for health, behavioural, or other reasons stay within our facilities as sanctuary residents.
