All About Sidney

Here's our guest blogger Izzy writing about Sidney the rabbit.

This is Sidney the rabbit. I personally think he's very cute. I think he likes to be petted under the ears. He is very, very soft and has a very smooth coat. I think he is one of the softest animals on the farm. I wish I could keep him at home!

Bella the Rabbit

Maya, aged 6, visited the farm today. Here is the photo she took of Bella the rabbit.

My favourite rabbit is called Bella.

She is very soft.

She is white and brown.

I like to stroke her.

She is very cute.

The Cogges Lambs

Witney is famous for its woollen blankets and the new season lambs provide a lively reminder of the town's history. Larry, Clara, Olivia & Dave are very friendly and you can meet them in Pets Corner of the farm.

The Piglets

Countess, our Gloucester Old Spot sow, gave birth to four lively piglets this April - two boys and two girls. They're growing fast!
