Default Saying goodbye

So a lot of you may have read on here that i am having landlord troubles, health problems also. i have been signed off with depression, stress and anxiety and then the landlord decided he was going to kick us out in a little over 6 weeks. this caused me to have to sell up the majority of my private collection and rehome every single rescue... a few of which are still available (CRB, Bosc, non feeding horned frog). I have been rescuing for several years now and have helped directly or inderectly rescue, rehabilitate and rehome something in the region of 1500 animals in that time which is a huge amount. there have been times when i have had to throw my own furniture out to make way for an unexpected rescue.... times when i have not eaten for 3 days straight to cover vets costs. I am in no way tired of rescuing, i would love to continue but everything must come to an end and alas this is i feel the time to do it alough it breaks my heart to do so. I am improving health wise, i am no longer drinking alcohol as it was doing me no favours and was a way to mask the suffering i have witnessed. I do not want to see that suffering any longer.
I will continue to be a private keeper and breeder as my passion for exotic animals will never falter.

I'd personally like to thank everyone who has ever supported us or rehomed an animal from us or even said a kind word or reccomended us. I'll also be doing a gallery of the 11 animals who's lives we could despite our best efforts not save. And many pics of those success stories that make rescuing so worth the heartache.

Dave and Jodie.
