We love seeing our animals settling in their new homes... this is Cookie and Brownie enjoying a little treat from their loving new family.
Feel free to share your babies below, we love seeing them ๐๐๐๐๐
We have a great range of cold water and temperate fish in store. Species such as Mollies and guppies are great for communal tanks and add that splash of colour

Looking for something to add to your aviary?
Did you know we now have Chinese quail in store... these beauties grow to around 4-5 inches in height, much smaller than other members of the quail family such as Japanese and Harlequin quail. They are ground dwellers and love to sit on top of their houses to watch the world go by, although when startled they can fly or jump, even clearing a 6ft fence ๐ฑ

Have you seen our Giant African Millipedes in store?
They are dark brown-black in colour with visible lighter shades around segment edges as well as their legs and antenna. They are not aggressive, but can sometimes be intolerant and curl tightly into a ball when stressed so it may take a little while for them to move around when out of their habitat.

Did you know that most rodents enjoy small amounts of veg such as carrots, squash, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, romaine lettuce, spinach and other greens.
We have given ours some grown cress and our fancy rats are enjoying their snack

We now have Macleay's Spectre Stick Insects in store.
These are an easy to care for invert and a great starter species. Due to this species growing so large, it's best to try and build or purchase an enclosure with plenty of height.
Provide them with lots of food (such as bramble or privet) and lightly spray their enclosure daily, more when newly hatched as they gain all the moisture they need from the plants and sprayed water.
Today we have a nice healthy salad for all of our smaller animals.
Greens are good for hamsters if it's fed in moderation, like any other treat you should ensure that the primary diet of pellets is still in effect. Feeding small amounts of veggies to hamsters once or twice per week can make hamsters healthier and enjoy life more. Hamsters are omnivores and are used to eating a variety of different foods so it's good to feed them a variety of everything, both plants and meats.
We have a great new range of rabbit and Guinea pig treats in store. This little beauty is enjoying her new tractor shaped hay treat... just listen to that *Crunch* ๐๐ฐ๐๐ฐ
Has it stopped raining yet hooman... or shall I stay in my bed?
Saturday morning treat for mummy and her babies... they are loving their herb hay bale today
Our hamsters, mice and rats are enjoying some fresh veg!! And we are keeping cool today by water dipping!!!
Did you know gerbils love a sand bath ๐๐ Since they are a desert species, gerbils are accustomed to cleaning themselves in the sand. To keep your gerbil's coat clean and prevent bacterial infections, you should give your gerbil access to a sand bath around once a week.

๐จ๐จDoes anyone know this man? This character came in this afternoon and decided he didnโt need to pay for all the items he placed under his coat! As a small business, we are currently dealing with all the financial struggles to stay afloat. People like this are not helping! Other local businesses, be warned! Feel free to share to help other businesses. Photo in comments for clearer view.
A huge thank you to every who came and donated money into our donation boxes at our 'meet the animals' event.
The first addition as a thank you to our animals was a new dig box and ball pit for our Armadillos!!
I can safely say they have had a great time exploring and making a good mess ๐คฃ๐๐คฃ
We have some stunning budgies in store at the moment... this little one sure is enjoying his swing
How amazing is our Speckled Millipede... these guys are a great beginner species of invertebrate and require minimal handling
