Hi everyone, sorry for the lack of communication over the last few weeks. We have been super busy with rehoming our animals. A full list of where they are/will be going will be posted at the weekend.

Hi everyone, this wonderful place is where Sasha and Scruffy have found their forever homes.
We have already donated towards building them a brand new enclosure which they'll share with two lovely boys they already have. If you can possibly contribute that would be amazing or simply share this post, thank you all for reading. ❤️

Update: We have raised around £1000 in 16 hours which is amazing but please PLEASE keep sharing and donating if you can. Just £1 can make such a difference. Huge thank you to everyone that has donated and shared so far.

Remember - The power of the pound!

Sorry to ask once again but we need you! We know times are tough but animal rescue never stops. The capuchin house is the last of the original mammal enclosures and we need to update it urgently. So here’s where you come in - we would love it if you could spare just £1! We have over 14,000 followers and if just a quarter of you could spare just £1 it would make a colossal difference.

Please support us, if you can, and spare a pound but just as importantly, please share our post far and wide. Let’s see how much we can raise in just 24 hours.

We have some very sad news to share with our loyal customers...
The Jungle Zoo will be closing it's doors for the final time on the 2nd of October 2022.
We have seen an enormous rise in general running costs and due to several factors it has become clear the zoo is no longer able to carry on.
As you can imagine it has taken a lot of thinking about, we are devastated but we simply have no choice.
Our animals will be transferred to reputable collections around the UK, with only the best being chosen for each species and we are trying to keep them as local as possible so you can still visit your favourite characters.
All staff will remain employed and on site night and day as normal until the very last animal has left.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers who have supported us over the years, you made us what we are and gave us plenty to smile about on a daily basis.
We pride ourselves on being a friendly little zoo and we've made life long friends that have turned into our little 'zoo family' so from us. Thank you!
