Caro's Crazy Critters mobile farm & ponies To allow children of all ages (& those children at heart) the opportunity to experience a hands on interaction with a range of farm & domestic animals.

We have set up a mini mobile farm which can be taken around the local area to allow children to experience a range of animals up close and personal. We intend to at a later stage turn our lifestyle block into a full petting zoo/farm. We advise anyone who invites us to their place or who visits us on site to be aware that although our animals are friendly, all animals are capable of having bad mann

ers at times. Therefore we advise you that we have certain rules to be followed around our animals, and take no responsibility or liability for any possible injuries or damage that may occur. We specialise in attending children's functions such as Birthday parties, Christmas Parties, and family reunions , childcare centres etc.

AND JUST LIKE THAT, ITS ALL OVER.

CRITTERS HAS FINISHED IT'S 11YEARS OF SERVICE,and what a huge event to finish off with.

Waipu Carnival, very very busy. Lots of pony cart rides. Thank you team awesome effort, with our 4.30am out the gate. And of course it just isn't a critters day, unless there's one Karen complaining, and today it was because several children were growled at for hurting chickens and the rabbits, so again reinforced why we are done in. Other than that a truely awesome event. Thank you to all.our loyal supporters over the years.

Our Story

We set up a mini mobile farm back in about 2013, which can be taken around the Northland district to allow children to experience a range of animals up close and personal. Our farm has grown since we first started, and we are always on the look out for new babies to hand rear. We are now breeding some off our own animals too. We tend to be bottle feeding something all year round. We advise anyone who invites us to their place or who visits us on site to be aware that although our animals are friendly, all animals are capable of having bad manners at times. Therefore we advise you that we have certain rules to be followed around our animals, and take no responsibility or liability for any possible injuries or damage that may occur. We specialise in attending children's functions such as Birthday parties, Christmas Parties, and family reunions , childcare centres, school galas and public events etc.

We offer the option of farm visits, pony only visits or a mixture of both. our ponies are friendly and safe and spend a lot of time working in crowds. We can give you the experience of a pony and cart ride, or ride on ponies.

As we didn’t want a farmyard of animals that have tummy love syndrome, eg. see children and assoicate wiht food, getting pushy and aggressive and nippy, we have a policy of “No feeding the animals by children” when we are out and about, our animlas do it because they enjoy the attention, the love, cuddles and brushing that comes with an outting. They are relaxed and contented where ever we go.

We come to you at your venue/event. Bringing wiht us gazebos for shade, and we always carry water for the animals. the bowls get topped up throughout an event, even tho children and even the aniamls like to tip the water out. Saddly there will always be that 1 person who complains when a bowl is empty!!! Even if they just watched the animal tip it out!!!
