January 2013. So far things have been busy with keeping the animals cooler during the hot weather. We have said goodbye to Kelly the donkey, Cola the guinea pig and Wigglesworth the rabbit who all died this month. A couple of animals have been rehomed to wonderful new forever homes including Muffy the lorikeet, Wilbur the sheep and Bing the rabbit.

We also said goodbye to 3 hens and 3 roosters including Mr Wonderful and Angry who through the month of January found that their time here had come to an end. They were all unwell and for various reasons could not be treated. They were all PTS at the vet.

Big Ears was lucky to have 3 wonderful volunteers visit from NSW and spend a week with us. The help they provided in cleaning pens and general catch up and daily chores was a wonderful help to us all. Many thanks from all of us and the animals.
