Last week we began work on one of our aquatic ecosystems that will be seen in the Fins & Scales exhibit!

The theme is “The Amazon”, this is a 150 gallon aquatic exosystem, it will be lightly planted with low-light hardy plants.

Any guesses as to what species we may add to this environment 👀

Good morning, we will not be able to attend today’s event with Bear Ridge farm due to a personal matter I have to attend to.

My apologies for anyone looking to see me there, I heavily encourage you attend the event as it is for a great cause and there will be many fun things to do there!

Have a good weekend everyone!

Looking for strong hands this Friday at 5pm! We are moving the last tank over to our new facility and it is *extremely* heavy.

If you help I will offer free animal encounters to you and/or your kids the same day and time!

Please DM me if available!
