Chewie is such a happy alpaca and loves being with all the others. He loves grated carrot and sugar beet!
Jimbo likes to give people evil looks
Hopefield first heard about Jimbo when his owner advertised him on Facebook. He was on his own and living in a small rat cage. When staff went to pick him up his owner told them how his favourite food was chips and gravy. These intelligent animals should not be pets and do not belong in cages. When Jimbo arrived at the sanctuary it took him a while to learn to be a marmoset and eat the right foods. He wouldn’t want to eat the nutritious veg and fruit but after some time he slowly began to eat it. He now lives in a big enclosure which was especially made for him and his three legged friend Oleg.
Sadly, on Saturday 4th November 2023, Oleg and Herman passed away from what’s believed to be fear-induced heart attacks as a consequence of the constant fireworks being set off by our “neighbours”, leaving poor Jimbo alone and heartbroken. Staff and volunteers are keeping a very close eye on him, and we will keep everyone updated on how he’s doing over the coming days / weeks.
