Rabbits and Guinea Pigs for Adoption - Page 1
Updated - 10th August 2008
We are always being asked to find homes for Domestic rabbits who have been abandoned by their owners to fend for themselves. Please remember that they quickly fall prey to predators or starve slowly to death in such circumstances.
Donations of hay, food and plastic sheeting to cover outdoor hutches are needed
Unfortunately
due the misbehaviour of a small minority of children visiting the
centre with their parents, we must insist that accompanying children
are quiet and well-behaved at all times and we reserve the right to
request families to leave if children do not respect the animals they
have come to see.
Undue
stress can severely affect the health and well-being of the small
animals in our care .
Baby rabbits will not be rehomed under 12 weeks of age.

As with most rescues there are always animals who are unable to be rehomed due to ongoing health and/or temperament issues. Tameside Rabbit and Guinea Pig Rescue now have a sponsorship scheme, especially for those animals who will stay in our care for the rest of their lives CLICK HERE to find out more.

Rabbit
of the Month Bertie |
Bertie is a Cashmere Lop
cross who has now been neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. He
has been with us for many months and really wants someone to love him
and make him part of the family. |
   |
Baby Girl Guinea pigs - These baby females came into the rescue after the owners thought they had 2 females from a local pet store and they ended up with 12 baby guineas. They will be homed in pairs. Unforunately there was no way they would stay still for individual pictures |
   |
Baby Boys |
 |
Lily is a 14 month old French Lop rabbit, who will need a very large home, ideally a shed or large Wendy house with a spacious run attached. She has been used to living indoors and enjoys being carried around on her back. However, if you intend to carry this big girl you will need large muscles as she weight 28 lbs. Lily isn't suitable for children. |
 |
Buster and Bingo came in with their mum and sister (below) from Bury and Oldham Branch of the RSPCA. Bingo is a grey Lionhead type who has only two toes on one of his feet but this doesn't stop him getting around as easily as any other rabbit. Buster and Bingo will be ready to go their separate ways once they have been neutered. They lived as house rabbits in their previous home. |
 |
|
 |
Brandy and Boo (below) are mother and daughter who came to the rescue from Bury and Oldham Branch of the RSPCA. Brandy is blind in one eye but manages well whilst Boo is a lionhead type who will need daily grooming to keep her coat in good condition. Brandy and Boo have previously lived as house rabbits. |
 |
|
 |
Goofy came to us from RSPCA Macclesfield branch where he had been severely neglected by his previous owner. He is a friendly little rabbit despite this neglect, although he will need lots TLC to get over his previous bad experiences. |
  |
Arf and Scruff are two neglected male guinea pigs who came to the rescue when we were contacted by a friend of their previous owner asking us to find them a good home. Scruff's coat was terribly matted and he has had to have most of it cut off so that he would be more comfortable. He will need regular grooming to avoid this happening again. Scruff and Arf are looking for a new home together. |

| The baby rabbits (above) all came from the RSPCA after
being found in boxes in Rossendale. At the moment they are only
about 6 weeks old so we will be keeping them at the rescue until they
put weight on and have grown |
|
 |
 |
| Flute and Fran (above) came to the rescue from the RSPCA when their previous owners were unable to care for them due to a skin complaint. They will stay at the rescue until this has been treated and they have fully recovered. | |
 |
Rupert came into the rescue from a local vet where he received a thorough health check. He had been taken iinto the surgery when he was found wandering in the street. He now needs a new family to call his own. |
 |
Danny is a 6 month old Lilac rabbit, who was signed over to the rescue as an unwanted pet. He will need an experienced home as he has not been handled or bothered with very much. |
 |
Dozy was signed over to the rescue as an unwanted rabbit and is now looking for a caring new home. He is litter trained as he was previously kept as a house rabbit. |
|
Bertie is a male Lop rabbit who came to us for rehoming from the RSPCA. Bertie would love a caring new home. |
