Too Long . . .

It's been too long since we updated our blog. We've had a hectic year, but the blog has fallen behind.

So what is new for 2013.

We have Degus creating Mayhem and Chinchillas creating more Mayhem than the Degus ever conceived!

Our Mini-beast areas are going well - African Land Snails, Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches, Leaf Insects, Stick Insects, Tarantulas, Millipedes, Scorpions.

Our worm farm is also doing fairly well.

A normal Animal Encounter can expect a visit from a selection of the Mini-Beasts and a mix of Leopard Geckos, Royal Pythons, Boa Constrictors, Blue Rats, Degus, Chinchillas and African Pygmy Hedgehogs.

New Arrivals

We have some new babies arrived for 2012.

Charlie the Chinchilla has taken up residence in the office. She loves a good run around the desks - though we don't seem to have 'chin-proofed' the room quite as well as we thought. Edith the rat really doesn't know what to make of this bouncing half squirrel/half rabbit!

Also arrived this month is a baby Boa Constrictor. It's feeding well, but needs a lot more growing and handling before it'll be ready for meeting the public.

We're now just waiting for an African Pygmy Hedgehog - who should be with us in February and hopefully some hand reared owls later in the summer.

January has been a fairly quiet month, which has allowed us to crack down to building the new enclosures. February is much busier - still room for some Birthday Parties at the weekend though!
