🌟 June highlights! 🌟

Another month has passed us by, and what a great June it’s been!🦉

Plenty of displays, parties, schools, and various other encounters have kept us very busy 🐍

We did however enjoy a few short days away in the Scottish highlands, where we saw wild golden eagles and even made it to the top of Ben Nevis 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Summer is now in full swing and we’ve plenty of events for you to join us starting this weekend with the Wrose Carnival on Saturday and Paw-tea in the Park on Sunday 🐇

Here’s to July! 🐾

Name suggestions please! 🙏

We’ve recently welcomed two baby guinea pigs to the Wild Side team, but we’re totally stumped for names! They’re both girls and around 12 weeks old 🐹

Drop your suggestions in the comments👇

It’s not often we get ‘hands on’ with our rabbits as they don’t usually enjoy the fuss. However, Biscuit was looking rather like a hedgehog with how many tufts of loose fur he had, so we gave him a quick brush this morning.
Look at all of that hair! 😱

How lovely are these photos from a visit we did last week?
There’s no limit for our encounters, people of all ages and walks of life love the opportunity to get so up close and personal with our team 🐹🦎

There must be something in the air at the moment! Morgana, Saphira, Basil, Kelloggs, and Venom have all shed their skin in the last 10 days! Chewy is also ‘in blue’ so she’s not far behind 🐍
We’re still waiting for when Morgana gives us a perfect shed skin that we can display, but she’s left us a smelly present in this one 💩

Look what’s arrived! 🕷️

Yesterday we had a special delivery, a mature male salmon pink birdeater. We’re hopeful that in a week or so he’ll be the perfect boyfriend for Fluffy (as long as she doesn’t eat him!)
