We don’t need any excuse to celebrate our fantastic frog friends! Some of you will recognise Fiona, Frank and Philip our White’s tree frogs!

White’s tree frogs are also known as ‘dumpy frogs’ or ‘smiling frogs’ due to their appearance.

The White’s tree frog has a blue-ish green to emerald colour which can change shades depending on the temperature and colour of the environment!

⚠️Did you know - frogs are amphibians but almost a third of the world’s amphibian species are threatened with extinction. In fact. Over 150 species have become extinct since 1980!⚠️

Our froggy friends help us deliver curriculum-based topics including animal lifecycles, classification, rainforests, the world around us, endangered animals and more!

If you would like to hop to it and meet the wee critters, get in touch today!

Here at Wee Critters I am lucky enough to meet explorers aged from 2 to 102!

I particularly love taking part in intergenerational experiences like this amazing visit to the Little Doves Childcare Centre and their friends the 'Silver Swans' from Cuan Court Supported Living.

It was fantastic seeing everyone spending time together, having fun and learning all about animals. We always say it doesn't matter how big or small we are - we can all change the world!

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who came along to our interactive animal education sessions at HILLMOUNT Garden Centre on Sunday!

We had a fantastic time meeting all of the little explorers and their families. Through this event a total of £𝟰𝟱𝟬 was raised and donated to Ulster Wildlife!

Here at Wee Critters we believe that there are 'wee ways' that we can all change the world no matter how big or small we are. One way that we believe that we can all help is to 'love our locals'!

Wildlife on our own doorstep is in trouble with one in ten species at risk of extinction in Northern Ireland, from our prickly pal the hedgehog to the beautiful barn owl and from marvellous minibeasts to the brilliant birds in our backyards...but we can all help.

Maureen from Ulster Wildlife was on hand for the afternoon to teach everyone all about their 'Let Nature In' campaign.

A massive thanks to everyone who took part, to the amazing team at Hillmount and to Maureen from Ulster Wildlife. We had such a great day and what a fantastic outcome!

Legend has it that Saint Patrick banished all the snakes but here at Wee Critters, we have several Sssuper serpent friends that are important members of our family and who take part in our interactive animal education sessions including:

🐍Severus snake the common boa
🐍Draco the royal python
🐍Salazar the Bredl's python
🐍Dune the Kenyan sand boa
🐍Pablo the Pueblan milk snake

They help us to deliver a range of curriculum-based topics including the world around us, classification, rainforests, habitats, endangered animals and more!

We were delighted when Cancer Fund for Children approached us a few months ago to take part in their 'ReadOn' Campaign competition.

ReadOn is in its 25th year and is an initiative to encourage school children across Northern Ireland to read while also raising vital funds for the Cancer Fund for Children.

On Tuesday we had the pleasure of providing four free interactive animal education sessions at the ReadOn prize winning school, St Patrick's Primary School Holywood.

Little explorers from the primary school got a very special visit from Cool FM's Rebecca McKinney and also had the chance to meet 'Ollie the Owl' (ReadOn's mascot) in real life as well as some other amazing species that we share our planet with.

We unfortunately live in a world where many species of both animals and plants are on the brink of extinction. I truly believe that developing an appreciation of wildlife in our children and local community is a fundamental element in safeguarding the safety and future of our wildlife and environment.

This why I do what I do!

All of our sessions include our 'wee ways to change the world' and we firmly believe that no matter how big or small we are, we can all make a difference. We therefore support a number of conservation programmes in the wild.

🌱𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁🌳
We support the World Land Trust, an international conservation charity that protects the world’s most biologically significant and threatened habitats acre by acre.

We are officially ‘red panda guardians’ through the Red Panda Network, donating monthly to help secure a sustainable future for red pandas. My professional career over the last 20 years has focused on small carnivore conservation and the red panda is a species close to my heart. Unfortunately, the global population has declined by 50% over the last 20 years and there may be as few as 2,500 left in the wild.

🦧𝗢𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻🦧
We donated to the ‘sponsor an acre’ campaign to help protect 50 acres of orangutan habitat in the wild. The Orangutan Foundation protects the forest habitat of this incredible (and critically endangered) ape while also working with local communities and promoting research and education.

This week I visited the 1st Hillsborough Squirrels and a very special little explorer approached me before I started the session to give me a 'gift'.

Casper had been clearing out his toys and discovered this amazing little armadillo which he thought I would like.

One of our main messages at Wee Critters is that we believe there are 'wee ways' that we can all change the world no matter how big or small we are and Casper's lovely little act of kindness absolutely made my week!

My new armadillo friend now lives in pride of place on my desk and is a much loved member of the Wee Critter's family. Thanks Casper!

Yesterday I posted some snaps of my visit to the little explorers at Silverstream Nursery but my morning was also spent visiting another special venue - Burleigh Hill House.

I'm always delighted to be invited back to Burleigh Hill House! Over the last few years I have had the pleasure of visiting on a number of occasions and it is always fantastic to see some familiar friendly faces and to get to know new residents.

Thanks for making me and the wee critters so welcome MD Healthcare Ltd!

One of the best parts of delivering interactive animal education sessions with my wee critter family is meeting different people within our community - from 3 years of age right up to 93! It's always amazing to see everyone interact and learn more about some of the amazing animals we share our world with!

Some of the amazing nurseries that we visit welcome us back more than once each year to focus on different topics and to meet different members of our Wee Critters family.

We visited the nursery class at Primary School and Nursery Unit last Autumn and returned again this morning for another fun and educational experience.

It was amazing to see the little explorers again and to see how much their knowledge and confidence has grown in only a few short months.

We were able to support and extend the work that they have been doing in the classroom in a fun, educational and interactive way.

In fact while many of us associate Easter with bunnies, in Australia the rabbit is not a species they like to celebrate! Rabbits were introduced to this amazing continent many years ago and are now a widespread pest causing lots of issues for native Australian species. In Australia they celebrate quite a different wee critter at Easter. The bilby is a small, long eared marsupial but, like so many amazing species on our planet, it is endangered. This is mostly due to the introduction of non-native predators and invasive species such as cats and foxes and other factors such as habitat loss. I was lucky enough to meet some of these amazing wee critters on one of my trips to Australia and got the chance to learn about the vital conservation and breeding work being carried out down under! Take a look and see if you would rather have a bilby visit you!
