When you frequently offered your sisters babysitting when they had newborns, and now they’re toddlers you’re regretting your decisions 🤣🤣
LunarEgg might be the most patient mother I’ve ever met 🤣💕

HAIRLESS RATS

I've been seeing a lot of interest for hairless rats in the UK online and have had some enquiries mentioning them so I thought it'd be a good idea to make a quick bit of info about them.

There are many variations of hairlessness, each producing different amounts of fur. However, genes impacting fur types (and colour) rarely impact just the appearance of the rat. Hairless genes are also associated with:

- Kidney and/or heart issues
- Poor immune system
- Skin issues
- Eye issues (usually built up debris)
- Inability to lactate

For this reason they are considered an unethical variety to breed. There are no responsible breeders breeding for hairless rats in the UK, which adds on additional potential issues.

If you have your heart set on hairless rats, rescues would be the only way to go. Bear in mind though that hairless rats require a lot of maintenance and therefore may not be a great idea for newer keepers or pets for children.

Sorry I know it’s not rats…
But I am Here because of Steve Irwin. He made it ok to be absolutely autistically joyful at wildlife and nature and the unloved…
I, we, owe that man a lot, and I do hope we get the better world he dreamed of- for Us. 💕

🚨 HELP US KEEP BABY BIRD TUMMIES FULL 🐣

The squabs and other baby birds that find their way to our rehabbers often have the odds stacked against them. It’s not the start to life anyone would choose for them but on the plus side, we can at least make sure they never go hungry and they are given the best chance to grow up healthy and strong. 💪🏻

To do that we need to make sure we have plenty of appropriate good food available, especially when little gorbs like the wood pigeon baby below are eating Jo out of house and home! 🙈

We would be beyond grateful for any donations of NutriBird mix from our dedicated Amazon gift list:

Or if you’d prefer to make a smaller donation to put towards feeding these babies, you can donate through PayPal or Ko-fi.

Lastly, we also immensely appreciate shares or interactions on our posts as they help further our reach to other pigeon and wildlife lovers. 🙏🏻💖

I am a sucker for a rat in need. We all know this 🤷‍♀️😅🙈
These little guys have had quite the traumatic fortnight before making it to a vet’s and then myself…
A very lovely family stumbled across THEIR OPEN CAGE and while one boy (guess whom 😅💙) wanted to be caught quickly, his brother was a little more fearful, and spent a few more days in the wild bless him, and he bears the wounds to show it.

Please Do Not Abandon Your Pets.
Can I afford the vet bills these boys may entail? Ehh 😅 but who needs other hobbies or outings or takeouts 🤷‍♀️😅

But they’re safe with me until they’re ready to go elsewhere- with the caveat that they are more spoiled than they’d be here lol- but for now they need names of anyone’s suggestions!!!!

(And we really really need to get the rescue ROARRR going Properly- I can’t do it alone, if anyone can help with that in any way please please get in touch!)

Please help if you can.

UPDATE. The fire didn't get into the tree line thank goodness.
Fire service, mountain rescue and skywatch ni are complete legends.
💖
The fire has now spread to the forest.
If you have ever wanted to help horses, make an impact to save them, now is that time. The feral ponies WILL be caught up in this fire, pregnant mares, youngsters, stallions. They will have NO PLACE OF SAFETY up in the mountains.
Please HELP US HELP THEM.
Our fundraiser is in the comments.
PEOPLE are being told to pack bags and prepare to evacuate. The ponies have nobody to lead them to safety.
None of the statutory bodies will help with them. Some landowners don't care, some don't know what to do.

I pray for everyone's safety 💔
