Briar Patch

Squizz · Jul 23, 2008

Hi

Does anyone have a contact number for Briar Patch rescue in Essex other than the one on their website (0208 500 4128) i can't get in contact with anyone. My husband emailed them a few weeks ago as he wanted to make a donation and didn't hear anything from that, so they obviously don't use email....

My Hamish needs a wife! he will be getting anxious if I can't find him one. Or are there any other rescues in Essex?

Thanks in advance

We got our rescue bun from Rabbits Starlight Animal Sanctuary, she is in Dagenham, Essex if that's any good?

She is on this forum, and her web page is

They have two websites, for some reason the old one is still accessible. Here is the current website:

As you can see, they are not rehoming this year, but may open again next year.

Noooooooooooo! My poor Hamish will be so upset. Explains why they haven't answered our messages though.

There doesn't seem to be any rescues in my part of Essex - maybe it's a sign that I should start one!

What type of bunny is Hamish? Maybe we have a suitable wife for him at ARC? We are in the south west of London, but we offer a bonding service and rehome to people all over the country.
My foster bunny is a cheeky girl, who's looking for a boyfriend. She is a bit shy, but very friendly, and she shredded the bottom of a bag of compost yesterday. :lol:

He is a lop, under a year old, neutered and vaccinated. He is a lovely bunny, doesn't like being caught, but loves strokes. He has a very nice nature. This is a fairly recent photo of him http://picasaweb.google.com/annalouiselangley/MooFrabbitAndThePlops/photo#5221010289108554050

So when people get bunnies from you can they bring their rabbit to the rescue for bonding?

Thanks that's really helpful - Chelmsford would be perfect its only 20 minutes drive from me. I guess I am just being a bit lazy and not wanting to travel too far!

Why arent Briar Patch rehoming this year? Is all ok? :shock:

Everything is fine. Eve's decision remains personal, but lets hope that she continues her excellent work in the future. I know I and the rabbits in Essex miss her a great deal.

I just called, she is lovely and has over 40 rabbits at the moment. and more wanting to get in each day. so sad.

Only problem is the girls aren't spayed, so Id have the horrible job of taking the new bun to the vets for that

That's not bad - I was thinking it would be a nightmare journey - I'm in South Woodham Ferrers - so about 30 mins from Brentwood. 1.5 hours is OK, assuming Hamish doesn't mind!

Just don't go on the North Circular! My O/H made me go that way and took over 3 hours :shock: we went my way home (M25) back within the hour :lol:
