All these animals do have a back story and are not for a first-timer. They would be best, especially the reptiles and bird, to a more experienced owner.

There will be an adoption fee that will go back into animals that come in our care and are not free.

If you like any more information, please feel free to drop us a message.

Please note that none come with a setup, and you would need to purchase a full set up beforehand

🚨 🥶 ❄️ 🧊 Cold Weather Policy In Affect 🚨 🥶 ❄️ 🧊

Due to the current cold weather conditions we have had to introduce our cold weather policy

This means that certain animals may not be available for your encounters that you have pre selected. We will make judgement calls individually based on the temperature, animals behaviours and requirements. We will let you know before the encounter if a certain animal or animals can’t make your encounter and will offer substitutes if possible.

Animal welfare is our number 1 priority and we will be monitoring the conditions constantly. We have also moved most of our outside animals inside ahead of the worsening night time conditions ahead.
