End of a Busy Summer

The end of the busy summer season is here, and things at Little Pets Hotel begin to slow down for the quieter winter. This summer, as always, I have had some real characters in. Here are just a few of my favourite guests:

Sparkle
Meet 17 year old Sparkle the Cockatiel from Birmingham, West Midlands. He is a really cheeky chap whose favourite place in the world is on your head! He has a really cute but enthusiastic whistle, making it sound like you have builders in the house! We really missed him when he went home.

Harvey
Very sweet 3.5 month old Harvey came to stay in August and really stole my heart. Just at that perfect age where he is confident and mischievous but still so small and fluffy!

Charlie
2 year old African Grey Parrot, Charlie, from Kidderminster, Worcestershire is a real chatterbox. I have never laughed so much as when he came to stay. With no end of phrases, different voices and his love of playing ball, Charlie Barley always made me smile.

Nibbles & Crackers
These two 6month old girls came to stay in July from Kidderminster, Worcestershire. Such gentle girls, but they turned into munching machines whenever they were put out on the lawn!

Leo
14 year old Leo from Hagley, near Stourbridge, is a gentle old boy who, apart from a bit of arthritis, shows little signs of his old age. Leo is an absolutely huge rabbit who loves to snuggle up with you on the sofa but he knows what he wants and is not shy to let you know when he wants to go back in his hutch with a few stomps of his feet!

Coco
Coco the male ferret from Bromsgrove, Worcestershire came to stay in August. Not keen on being woken up and like all ferrets he is all or nothing. Fast asleep or wide awake, never anything in between! Coco is a very sweet but very lazy boy!

Matilda
Matilda the Lionhead bunny from Stratford-upon-Avon is a houserabbit who instantly felt at home. Absolutely gorgeous and the sweetest, most gentle personality, Matilda was really missed when she went back home to Warwickshire. Mornings were not the same without Matilda nudging my ankles with her nose whenever I stopped stroking her for a second to get ready for work!

Melvin & Parsnip
Such sweethearts who love nothing more than a cuddle but two of the laziest animals that I have ever met. The only thing that will get these lazy Guinea Pigs moving is food!!

Molly
Molly the hamster from Birmingham, West Midlands, absolutely loves exploring, whether in her exercise ball or roaming around on the table, the energetic Molly never stops for a rest!


All of the pets that have been to stay this year have been so lovely. So many sweet, playful, and adorable animals have been to stay with us that I cannot put them all on here so I have had to pick out just a handful. I hope that all of them come back to see us soon.
