Another busy weekend, several baby pigeons and injured adults brought in. They are all doing well and set to survive. The same with the hedgehogs, not so many babies this year and the ones brought in have made good recoveries. We’re fattening them up for the hibernation and will make sure they are up to […]
It’s the end of summer and the ponies have dusty coats so we like to give them a wash and brush up before they start to grow their winter coats. This is Sundance covered in soap suds. Ponies and horses, have fine hair during the warm weather and then grow thick, dense hair […]
Our latest hens are out and about enjoying the sunshine today. We’ve been incubating eggs recently and these are some of our successes. It’s not the easiest thing to do, often the eggs don’t hatch. When they do make it through 21 days of turning in the incubator, the chicks go into the brooder where […]
Mealtimes are important to Mr.Frostie, he doesn’t like to be disturbed when he’s eating. A pouch is good and he’ll eat a full one each time. He also likes a bit of fresh food, mince or fish and a dish of biscuits (Royal Canin) are on hand for snacking. When he’s eaten his fill it’s […]
We’ve had a barn owl brought in because her owner moved suddenly and had to part with her. It was difficult to find anyone to care for her. This exquisitely beautiful bird is underweight and stressed, she hasn’t had the attention she needs. You might be thinking ‘why not let her go’? Unfortunately this isn’t […]
When her owners bring items in for our sales they always bring their Labrador Daisy in to see us as well. She is a lovely sociable girl who likes to say hello and have a chat. Daisy has recently had to have an operation but has been a star patient and has recovered well. Good […]
A little hedgehog has been brought in covered in ticks. To have so many is serious. He’s been to the vet and had an antibiotic injection as he’s not breathing well so could have pneumonia. The urgent action needed now is to get rid of these parasites. We have a tick remover, which is a […]
Rufus has been rolling in the mud so we thought it was time for him to have a bath. Maybe it’s because he’s so low to the ground (only 25inches tall!) that he gets so scruffy. Rufus had been shut up in a shed for most of his life, his owner had dementia and kept […]
We took Hope to see the vet yesterday and she was pleased with her progress. It hurt the little kit when her eye was examined, it’s still very sore but it was soon over. We have to keep her on the medication and take her back in two weeks time. At the moment it’s too […]
Daydream may look like a little lady but she’ll wade through any amount of mud to get to a bit of fresh grass. The torrential rain has turned parts of the field into a quagmire and we need to buy more hardcore get it spread in the gateways and yard before winter. All the ponies […]
