Adam

Adam the goat arrived at Big Ears on the 19th October 2018. He had been dumped in the bush down a forestry track in north west Tasmania. His kind rescuer called him Adam and contacted us for his relocation.

He is always the first to greet us at the gate with a big toothy grin.

Spirit (RIP)

In 2014 we rescued six rabbits from Legana. Three of the girls were pregnant and had sixteen babies between them at Big Ears. Spirit was one of those babies.

He is a big boy now and although he has had surgery on his 2nd eyelids he is a happy healthy bun

Sponsorship of Princess is $50.00 per year and goes towards her vet checks, vaccinations and parasite control.

Fergus (RIP)

Fergus is one of the 300 rabbits Big Ears took in when they bought out a meat rabbit farm in 2012. The numbers have declined over the years due to the poor hygiene and breeding they were subjected to at the farm. Those that remain, like Fergus, enjoy the very best life a rabbit could hope for. They are able to engage in all types of rabbit behaviour including digging, running, socialising and living with another that understands them. Fergus has a a small issue with his hind leg that is kept in check with pain relief and cartrophen shots.

Shade(RIP)

Shade was rescued from a breeder of meat rabbits. She had gone to the breeder’s as her owner could no longer afford to care for her but the owner had second thoughts about the placement and bought Shade back several weeks later.

When collecting Shade from the breeder’s the original owner noticed that Shade now had a rear leg deformity that was not there previously. Shade was surrendered to Big Ears in 2016 and x-rays revealed that Shade’s leg had been doubly dislocated. She had been living in filthy conditions and no medical care had been sought for her leg.

Veterinary advice was that the dislocations were too old to repair as the muscle and ligament had reformed around the strange position of Shade’s leg. It was not causing any pain or suffering and Shade was very mobile but with a strange gait.
