Today we received some lovely feedback form our party yesterday. The birthday boy's mum said:
'I just wanted to say thank you so much for coming to my son's birthday party yesterday - he had such a fantastic time as did all of the children. He’s loving telling people that he held a real life spider! You and all of your animals were great - thank you again!'
Tia Tarantula is really pleased to be a favourite creature! πŸ•·πŸ˜ƒ
We have 3 friendly Tarantulas in our creature team, Tia the Chilean Rose, Bisbee the Desert Blonde & Betty the Curly Haired. If you would like to invite a spider to you party contact us to find out more.

Amazon delivery! I often say to children at school visits that Red Foot Tortoises Rayo & Rosie originate from parts South America, including the Amazon basin in Brazil. Not Amazon the shop! I came home today, though, to find Rosie sitting in an Amazon box like she had just been delivered! Lots of our creatures enjoyed a cardboard box to chew, hide in or play with. Often Rosie likes to sit in a box on its side. I have no idea how she got on inside it like this. Thug Rayo would have flattened it and walked out but Rosie seemed quite happy just sitting in there. πŸ’πŸ˜„

Meet Mango the new member of our animal team. Mango is a Lesser Hedgehog Tenrec just like the lovely Thistle. Once he (or maybe she) has settled in he will be out and about as part of our animal handling workshops. Even though Tenrecs are mammals they don't have external boy/girl parts. This means we have to wait for Mango to grow up a bit more before we know if his/her gender. Watch this space! Thank you Joyful Hedgehogs for letting us have Mango and giving him the best start in life. πŸ¦”πŸ˜
