Pinky & Perky
D.O.B. 14.03.2022 (Brothers)
Pinky and Perky are medium white pigs. They have come to us from a working farm and would have otherwise been sent to slaughter at just 5 months of age!
​
Pinky is a very loving, affectionate piggy, who likes to follow either us or his Grandpa Bax around, constantly looking for love, reassurance and guidance! He loves nothing more than a cuddle and belly rub!
Perky is our little trouble maker! Always looking for something to get up to, a way to escape and explore! Perky is a very confident, independent piggy, but he does also love a good belly rub.
​
Though completely different characters, they are both very loveable, well loved characters here at Hakuna Matata Animal Trust!
​
Their favourite treats are apple, banana, pear, and carrots, though they love pretty much anything edible to a piggy!

Lola
Mustard
D.O.B. 10.07.2016
​
Mustard came to us in 2021. He and his brother were pet pigs on a working sheep farm. Unfortunately for them circumstances changed and the lady could no longer keep them on the land, so they were under threat of being sent off for slaughter.
​
Transport arrangements were made and the two boys made their way down to us, though excitement our end at the boys arrival soon turned to heart break when Peppa (Mustard’s brother) had passed away in transport.
​
Mustard was not in a good way either and we fought tirelessly to save him. Though at first he showed clear signs of depression from losing his brother, after lots of love, attention and company he soon perked up and has been enjoying his surroundings ever since.
​
Mustard is our gentle giant here at Hakuna Matata Animal Trust and well known for his amazing smile and being a little bit clumsy!
His absolute favourite treat is apples, though he enjoys bananas, melons and strawberries a lot too!
D.O.B. 26.12.2019
​
Lola, aka Lola Bean (because she is so diddy) came to us during lockdown, after her owner no longer had time to care for her. Lola's birthday is Boxing day!
​
She is possibly one of the prettiest rabbits we've seen, with bright blue eyes and a grey and white coat.
​
Lola is a very independent bunny, she prefers her own company and is a bit wary of people at first.
​
Her favourite treat is carrots, though she likes other treats such as strawberries, banana, apple and general bunny treats in very small quantities!
Molly & Polly
Molly, D.O.B. 07.11.2014
Polly, D.O.B. 07.11.2017
​
Molly & Polly are our emergency foster girls! Molly is Polly's Mum, and they come from a working farm.
They could no longer stay where they were, and though the farmer promised them a retirement as pet pigs she has yet to find suitable land to home them on. If a temporary home wasn't found they would have been sent to slaughter.
​
We offered the girls the temporary home they needed and they have been with us since the beginning of November 2022.
​
Their owner stays in regular contact whilst she still searches for land.
Their favourite treats are jammy doughnuts and custard creams, though this is a very rare treat here at Hakuna Matata Animal Trust, they also love pretty much any fruit & veggies!
Walter & Reggie
Walter and Reggie D.O.B. 28.03.2022
​
Walter & Reggie, the two gerbils came to us in March 2023 due to their owner having to work longer hours and no longer having the time to give them. They are very entertaining characters here at Hakuna Matata Animal Trust. We could literally watch them for hours as they explore and dig tunnels! Their favourite treats seem to be meal worms and millet! Walter is the brown/tan gerbil and Reggie the black.
