Small Animals
If you would like to offer a home to any of our small animals, please ensure you meet our minimum requirements below before completing an adoption form.
Please be aware we carry out a home check before animals leave our care. This may be conducted through a visit to your home or by photographs of your set up, or through a video home visit.
Adopt a Small Animal and Give Them a Forever Home! 🐾
We always have small animals looking for their forever homes and we encourage you to consider adopting and providing a loving home. Our small animals come in all shapes, sizes, and personalities, and we're committed to matching you with the perfect companion.
Adoption is a rewarding experience that not only gives a small animal a second chance at life but also fills your home with love and companionship.
Please note that the availability of our small animals changes frequently. For the most up-to-date information on the small animals currently available for adoption, be sure to visit our Facebook page (click on image below), where we post regular updates and photos.
How to Adopt
If you're interested in adopting, please get in touch with us to learn more about the process. We’ll guide you through every step and make sure you’re fully prepared for your new family member.
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 and a run. Your new rabbits will need enrichment and stimulation, with an environment where they can display natural behaviours. Rabbits must have constant access to a minimum floor area of 3 metres by 2 metres and a height of 1 metre. Outdoor housing must be predator proof. 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 - Fact or Fiction.

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 a others already living in a household.
Guinea Pigs must have constant access to a minimum enclosure area of 150cm by 60cm. For indoor housing we recommend https://candcguineapigcages.co.uk/ enclosures or similar modular systems. Any outdoor housing and run must be predator proof and 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 pigs 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.

About Us
Name: Bella
Age: 8 months
Ref:
Bella is an 8 month old tiny Roborvoski hamster looking for her forever home, She is a typical dwarf and is super fast but can be handled.
She loves to be kept busy so her new home must be a minimum of 100cm x 50cm with deep bedding for burrowing, lots of natural enrichment (forage sprays, different types of substrate, hidey places) and a wheel that is a minimum of 21cm to prevent her spine from curving.
In the wild hamsters spend most of their days foraging for food so scatter feeding, forage toys & hamster safe plants can help prevent boredom.
