(4255)

Discover a wide range of amazing animal species, go wild in the outdoor and indoor playing areas and relax in our Café. WillersMill Wild Animal Sanctuary, as it was known, was a refuge for creatures great and small, including rescued foxes, hedgehogs and badgers, alongside many different species of unlicensed exotics. After care and rehabilitation many were released back into the wild, but where t

his was not possible, they lived out their life at the sanctuary. Today, Shepreth Wildlife Park still hosts a busy ‘Hedgehog Hospital’ but also participates in national and international breeding programmes for endangered species. It remains as committed as ever to its animals and conservation, and to educating the next generation of conservationists.

And the winner of Phil’s Creepy Crawlies Riddles is… Hugh! 🎉

At just six years old, Hugh created an incredible imaginary insect he named the Venomous Bomb Bug!

This fearsome mini-beast feasts on toxic fungi and small insects. It produces a deadly toxin to poison its prey and ward off predators. With its large pincers and a venomous stinger at the tip of its tail, you do not want to mess with it!

But that’s not all! The Venomous Bomb Bug can also generate electric shocks to startle its prey and even launch tiny rock bombs to take it down. Its red body serves as a warning to keep other creatures away.

What a brilliantly creepy creation! Well done, Hugh! 👏 You have won a Family Annual Pass to Shepreth Wildlife Park!

Remember, remember! Bonfire piles make perfect homes for hedgehogs and other wildlife!

This Bonfire Night, please help keep them safe by following these simple steps:

🔥 Build your bonfire on the same day you plan to light it. This prevents hedgehogs and other small animals from settling in overnight.

🔦 Check carefully before lighting. Use a torch to look and listen for any sleeping hedgehogs or other wildlife hiding inside.

🧹 If possible, move the pile before lighting. Lift it from the base using brooms or poles. This helps wake and move any hidden animals to safety.

Our garden wildlife is far more precious than a moment of flame and smoke.

Thank you for helping protect hedgehogs this Bonfire Night!
