Peekaboo 🫣👀 Angelina our leopard gecko popping out of her cave to say hello yesterday 💛

Did you know Leopard geckos are nocturnal? You’ll often find her sleeping in a cave during the day, apart from lucky moments like this when she pops out from a nap 💤

VISITOR UPDATE: Due to the current high winds, we have taken the decision to close Potter’s World today (Friday 24th January 2025).

We are saddened to have to make this decision but the safety of our visitors and staff must always come first and with the weather warnings in place for the remainder of today it just wouldn’t be possible to open.

We will be back open tomorrow at 9am and look forward to welcoming you.

Elvis had a trip to the vets on Wednesday for his annual vaccination, did you know how important it is to vaccinate your rabbits?🐰💉

Rabbits need vaccinations against Myxomatosis and Rabbit Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (RVHD) which there are 2 different strains of. Both of these diseases are fatal if not vaccinated against!

It’s always best for your bun’s to get them protected🥰
