🌈 Meet Rosie and Jimmy, they are rainbow/swainsons lorikeets 🌈

These two cheeky little birds are siblings and are 7 months old. They came to us so we can help find them a forever home, as unfortunately the previous owner’s son developed an allergy to birds which forced them to make the decision.

These 2 have great little personalities and love to be out having fun, they are always wanting to sit on your shoulder and give kisses.

Ideally we would like them to stay together including their new cage (purchased in the summer) toys, perches, carrier and a tub of lorikeet food.

If you would like more information on these gorgeous pair please get in contact.

They feed on a specialist nectar and fruit diet. No traditional seed mix for these 2

Unfortunately they had rhetevwings clipped by the shop they were originally purchased from. Something we wouldn’t do any more. They should grow back fine during the next moult

Open today till 5.30pm

A little video of us releasing the new golden mantella frogs we have had arrive. These species are endemic to East-Central of Madagascar and are a very bold frog that range in colour from yellow, red and orange. Like poison dart frogs, the Golden Mantella retains toxins from the insects they eat so that they themselves are toxic too, but as these are captive bred and feed on flys these don’t retain the toxins.

Full set ups available with a huge variety of live pants to make your own personal part of Madagascar.

⭐️ These have only just arrived so won’t be ready to go just yet ⭐️

For any more information on these beautiful little frogs please don’t hesitate to contact us.
