Our Tortoises are awake! 🐢🌿

After a 10-week winter snooze, our Spur-Thighed Tortoises – Jack, Libby, Maia, Simmy & Timmy – are officially out of hibernation! 💤➡️🌞

For now, you’ll find them in our Animal Barn hatchery, warming up until the weather improves.

In the wild, these tortoises hibernate to survive colder months when food is scarce and the colder temperatures naturally slow them down. Being cold-blooded, they need warmth to move, eat, and digest their food.

Right now, they’re taking it slow as they rehydrate and regain energy – because let’s be honest, we all need a bath and a good meal to get going after a long nap! 😆🍽️

Come and say hello on your next visit! 👋🐢✨

Meet our newest residents at Tapnell Farm Park! 🥳🐴

Introducing Little Miss Darcy (brown and white) & Kady (black and white) – our adorable new Miniature Shetland Ponies! 😍

After teasing you with a few hints over the past few weeks, we're so excited to finally announce they're here!

These two are already making themselves at home in their paddock behind the Wallaby Walkabout and can’t wait to meet you on your next visit!

✨ Here are some fun facts about Miniature Shetland Ponies:
1️⃣ Miniature Shetland ponies are surprisingly strong for their size – they can pull about double their weight! 💪
2️⃣ They’re headstrong and super smart! 🧠
3️⃣ Ever wondered why horses are measured in "hands"? It dates back to the Middle Ages, when people used their hands to measure height! 🤚

Little Miss Darcy and Kady have joined us from a local farm. Despite their miniature size, they have a big personality with some stubborn streaks! 😆

Kady is a piebald colour (meaning black and white patches), while Little Miss Darcy is a skewbald (meaning brown or chestnut and white patches on a white coat). These two are affectionate, but their strong-willed nature keeps things interesting! 🐾

They have a strict exercise and grazing routine to keep them healthy and happy, and they’re ready to meet all of you. Come say hello and give them a warm Tapnell Farm Park welcome! 💕

Meerkat Update – A New Beginning for Kolo & Zuri 🐾

Change is never easy, but sometimes it’s the kindest choice. 💛

After the sudden loss of two of our meerkats last year (Doto & Zola), we've made the heartfelt decision to move Kolo (dad) and Zuri (daughter) to Monkey Haven, where they could join a larger family.

Meerkats thrive in groups and with just the two of them remaining, we knew this was the best choice for their happiness and well-being.

As they’re related, growing their own family wasn’t an option. Thankfully, the amazing team at Monkey Haven had a lone female in need of company, and after a gentle introduction, we’re thrilled to say that all three have bonded beautifully! 🥰

They will be greatly missed by the team and visitors here at Tapnell Farm Park, but knowing they’re thriving in a loving home makes it all worthwhile.

Thank you to everyone who has come along to visit them over the years! 💛

We're working on some exciting new plans, so stay tuned! 👀💚

At our Coffee House, you can grab your favourite brew, whether it's a flat white, americano, or something sweet, and take it with you as you stroll around the park. While the kids are busy exploring & playing, you can finally catch up with a friend or just enjoy a quiet moment.

It’s the little things, like a warm drink and some grown-up conversation, that make the day even better. 😌
