A new beast has awakened… 😶🌫️
For those of you that guessed frilled lizard, you’d be absolutely correct! 🥳 Let’s give a warm welcome to Moo! He’s a bit small to be joining encounters just yet, but we’ll begin to share his cheeky antics with you all. Here he is enjoying some mealworms for dinner 😋
Look at Fluffy cleaning her fangs after a meal! It’s no wonder they compare a bite from her species to a cat bite given the size of them!
As a very rare treat, Cinder occasionally gets meat in her diet. This might be baby mice/rats or like today the legs of a day old cockerel. (Volume up for some super crunching)! 🦎
This certainly isn’t something you see every day! 🤯We noticed one of the stick insects starting to moult, and managed to get the tripod set up in time for a time-lapse ⏰The whole process took around 20 minutes, but it’ll be another hour or so until the new exoskeleton dries off and hardens properly. How cool is this? 😁
We love watching Cinder ‘hunt’ her dinner! Chasing crickets around is a great way to keep her mobile and active. This one made a lucky escape (for now) 🦗
An important part of keeping animals that eat insects is making sure that the ‘feeders’ are also fed. This means that they live longer (less wastage for us) and they have better nutritional value when our animals eat them. Here are some locusts tucking into their cabbage 🥬
We’ve been asked if Picasso can perform a very important task for some very lucky children this festive season! 🎅🦉⚡️
I’m not sure Echo needed to deploy such stalking for a worm, but she sure looks proud of herself afterwards! 😋
We got Mischief a new toy today. We smeared it with honey and it’s definitely a hit! I’ll never tire of hearing his little munching noises! 🍯 🦨
We never got around to carving our pumpkins this year, so we thought we’d see what Mischief makes of them instead. I think he approves 🎃
