Small Animals available for Adoption
Rabbits
All our adult rabbits are neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. We request a minimum donation of £60 for each rabbit, which goes towards our costs. Rabbits are social creatures and will be rehomed in pairs or groups, or to be bonded with a single lonely partner (must be neutered).
-
Rabbits need much more than a hutch, they need enrichment and stimulation, with an environment where they can display natural behaviours.
-
Rabbits must have 24/7 access to:
-
Minimum floor area of 3 metres by 2 metres and a height of 1 metre.
-
-
Housing must be predator proof and on a concrete/slab base to prevent them digging out and/or predators digging in.
These guidelines are the minimum space you are expected to provide. The more space your rabbits have, the happier and healthier they will be.
Before completing an adoption application, please take a look at our rabbit welfare information; Rabbits - Fabulous Facts.

Name: Benji
Breed: Lop
Age: 8 months (approx)

Meet the very gorgeous English Spot siblings Lilly & Lenny, They are 18 months old, neutered, vaccinated & microchipped and looking for a 5* home, These buns are very intelligent & require lots of space and enrichment to keep them busy. A predator proof enclosure that meets RWAF standards of 3x2x1 metre is a must and because they are quite shy lots of hidey places.
Luna & Midnight are an 8 year old pair looking for a retirement home, Despite their twilight years they are still active & full of personality.
They enjoy human interaction and are very sociable.
We are looking for a home that is local to Milton Keynes / Northampton as Luna has an overgrowing front tooth that needs trimming approximately every 4 months, Due to her age we dont think its fair to put her through an anaesthetic to remove the tooth and she copes very well with the trimming. The cost of this ongoing treatment would be covered by the branch.
Meet beautiful Benji, Sadly yet another rabbit who was found abandoned in a park.
He is estimated to be around 8 months old and is neutered, vaccinated and chipped and looking for a large spacious forever home where he won't be let down again .He is incredibly curious, playful and friendly and would love a neutered wife bun to be bonded with.
Guinea Pigs
Some of our adult male guinea pigs will be neutered. We request a minimum donation of £30 for each guinea pig, which goes towards our costs.
-
Guinea Pigs are social creatures and will be re-homed in pairs or groups, or where we have a single piggy, to be bonded with another already living in the household.
-
Guinea Pigs must have constant access to a minimum enclosure area of 150cm by 60cm (5ft by 2ft).
-
For indoor housing we recommend C&C enclosures or similar modular systems.
-
Any outdoor housing and run must be predator proof and with a waterproof insulated cover to keep out damp and drafts.
-
Guinea Pigs require single level enclosures with no ladders as they are ground dwellers.
-
Your new guinea pig(s) will need enrichment and stimulation, with an environment where they can display natural behaviours. We recommend tunnels, houses and other hidey places to help them feel safe and secure.
