Can you help?
As well as running Animal Crackers, I also run a rabbit and guineapig rescue and always have lots of animals needing new homes. Most come from family homes, others are abandoned or dumped on me, a few come from meat markets and often I just get a random phone call out of the blue asking for me to take the animal in. They all stay a minimum of 3 weeks where I access their behaviour and it also gives me time to notice any ailments or illnesses and time for any pregnancies to become apparent. Wherever possible I try to bond the newcomers with a single or group of friends once they have had their isolation period, they are then up for adoption.
I only advertise rabbits and guineapigs that are happy to be handled and tame. I have lots come in growling and spitting, however these are not rehomed until I am 100% happy that they can be handled by anybody, no matter how long it takes to tame them. One of the bucks from the meat market was sommersaulting, growling, spitting and biting when he first came but now lets us handle him , however it wouldn't be fair on him or other people to try and rehome him with the issues he has.
Please be aware that the animals available for rehoming may change on a daily or weekly basis, as some are rehomed and others come in. Please feel free to enquire if you are looking for something in particular that is not on our site, as if I do not have any in rescue I will probably be able to find an animal at another rescue to suit your requirements.

This beautiful girl is so chilled out, she has been used a continuous breeding machine in her last home and is just desperate to be loved. She is himilayan marked which means she has markings on her nose and ears, hers are a charcoal colour. Because of this she doesn't have red eyes which I know puts a lot of people off.

Also in rescue awaiting adoption, needing photos and write up:
Female Lionhead, all white - 2-3 years old
Male Crossbreed, grey and ginger - 18 months
Male cross breed, all black - 9 months ol
Female lionhead cross, white - 2-3 years old.
Female lionhead cross, brown and white- 6 months old
Female dwarf lop, black, 12-18 months old
In rescue but not yet up for adoption:
Rex female, 12-18 months old. Needs taming as she is a meat market bunny and is very traumatised.
2 x lionhead cross babies - 6 weeks old. Up for adoption in a couple of weeks time
Mum of lionhead cross babies - pure lionhead. About 2-3 years old. Will be ready to be rehomed once the babies have been weaned.
1 x Dwarf lop female - may be up for adoption in a few months time. She came with a big abcess on her leg, she's been to the vets who say that we should leave it on her for whilever she's happy and then have her put to sleep if ever it becomes to much for her. They said that she could potentially live a few more years as long as it doesn't grow too much but we need to keep an eye on it for the next frew months to see how she's progressing.
1 x dwarf lop male - another traumatised bunny from the meat market. Won't be up for adoption for a while yet, even though he's making huge improvements.
1 x lionlop female - currently in her isolation period.
1 x Blind little netherland dwarf - she is a permenant stayer and lives quite happily with one of our other male rescues. Our little mini lop also has problems with his eye are requires medication, so we had him neutered and they live together quite happily.
Several guineapigs also for adoption, mostly males. All guineapigs must go in pairs or groups, or to bond with an existing pig.
I also offer a bonding service to bond one of my rescues to an existing rabbit or guineapig, this can usually be done over an hour or two, however I have had an extremely grumpy german lop castrated male to be bonded and he is on a 2-3 week timescale! Please ask for more details.
I regularly collect items for the Sheffield City Council Pound, where all the stray dogs are held. They are in desperate need of newspapers, bedding, dog toys, collars, leads, hard plastic dog beds, duvets, sleeping bags, towels, blankets etc - every little is really appreciated down there.
Also for anyone considing a new dog - there really are some real beauties down there. They occasionally have cats, kittens and puppies too.
2) Are you looking for a new rabbit?
I have rehomed two rescue rabbits in the last few weeks, however I did not know when I took them on that they were pregnant. The babies are now 2 weeks old and will be ready for rehoming when they are 8 weeks old.
All baby rescue bunnies rehomed now to lovely new homes - thankyou!
2) Anyone looking for a new hamster?
I have recently taken in a pair of unwanted Russian Dwarf hamsters, together with their 6 babies. They were split up at 4 weeks old into male and female cages by the previous owner, however the female has just given birth to another 6 babies. I am looking for a loving, permanent home for some of the babies. If you think you could give a rescue hasmter a home, then please don't hesitate to contact me. The mother and father's temperament is fantastic, as is the first the litter of babies. They are all frequently handled. I would appreciate a small donation from anyone taking on a hamster, seen as they have cost quite a bit to keep (bedding, water, megazorb, porrige for mum and babies, etc.
ALL HAMSTERS REHOMED NOW- THANKYOU TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ADOPTED
