Willow Sanctuary

Willow came to us when their owners circumstances changed. She is a very friendly hedgehog in good health.

Willow, African Pygmy Hedgehog

Sadly, Willow developed a serious health condition and was not suitable to be homed.

Further Details

Willow is a friendly young African Pygmy Hedgehog. She's very active and curious and will need a lot of space and attention.

  • Passed pregnancy check (where relevant!)

Pickles Sanctuary

Pickles is an older chap who is not fond of humans.

Pickles, African Pygmy Hedgehog

Pickles has become a Crittery Sanctuary resident due to his age and temperament.

Further Details

Pickles is an older chap who is rather anti-social. He's not keen on handling and is very huffy. He has some difficulties eating and is not keen at all on humans. He loves new scents and often annoints. Due to his age and temperament, we've provided a safe retirement home for him amongst our sanctuary animals.

Female mouse group Rehomed

This group of twenty mice came to us as part of a larger case from another rescue.

Female mouse group

Happily, two groups of 5 and one of 3 were adopted out to different homes to provide company to a lonely mouse or neutered males. They are now thriving with plenty of enrichment and space!

Further Details

This group of female mice came to Crittery from a case of over 100 mice rescue from live feeding. These girls are a mixture of ages and colours. They are generally in good health and temperament, with some unique characters from the very friendly to extremely shy!

These girl mice are responding well to handling and will make excellent pets with regular handling and care.

May mouse group Sanctuary

This group of 2 mums and their young came to us from an overcrowding situation. Mums will be available once pregnancy watch is over.

May mouse group

Due to Crittery's pause on adoptons and some health issues, these mice have become sanctuary animals.

Further Details

Mums will be available after pregnancy watch, as there may well be another litter(s) on the way. The young are separated and being sexed. There are at least 4 boys who will be seeking experienced homes. Male mice can be kept together with other males, but it is recommended for experienced keepers only - see Fancy Mice: Boys or Girls? for more information on keeping them. Male mice can have very strong bonds with their owners, and deserve a chance!

These mice are in good health and a little shy, but doing well with building confidence.
