We have been working hard to bring you more variety in the animals we bring to you!
Unfortunately we have had some people complain about our prices but here is the breakdown of what you pay for but remember they are animals that take everyday work of around 5 hours to care for to use for these
The party 1 or 2 hours
The travel around £10 to £20 of fuel before charging extra
The insurance
The licences
The paperwork
Plus 2 people working 4 hours just to pack drive and actually do the parties!
There has to be 2 of us if you want the big snake.
Plus all the extras ontop like equipment animalcare and extra time we always stay ect
Same goes for any party entertainment (facepainting, glitter tattoos and djs)
It's alot of work and we are a small buisness please remember that before telling us we are too expensive it's not that, we are just out of your budget!
