Hello all!! 🥰💚

This is a quick reminder about the event THIS SUNDAY 30th June @ The Florist!! 🎉😆

Just some information regarding my position in this wonderful festival…

🐾 I will be set up in with my own table in one side of The Florist, 5:00-7:00 with my critters!! 🦎🐢🐍🕷️🐌🦔🐹

🐾 There will be Small Furries, Reptiles, Invertebrates & more!! 😱

🐾 The event at The Florist is FREE, however, the Animal Handling Slots will be £7 per person, wanting to take part in a private encounter!! 🎟️

Remember, if it’s too hot for your hands or your bare feet, then it’s too hot for their paw pads! ⚠️

If you’re unsure whether it’s okay to let your pet go for a walk on pavements, a simple way to test the temperature is by holding your bare skin on the tarmac for five seconds ⏱️

If you find it painful, then your pet will find it painful to walk on!

To protect your pet, it’s best to avoid walks during the hottest part of the day, which is usually between 8am and 6pm. If you can't safely exercise your dog, missing a day won't hurt.

🐶🌞‼️

JUST A REMINDER, TO ALL DOG OWNERS.

⚠️🚙⚠️ Despite the warnings, hundreds of dogs in the UK die every year after being left in a hot car. Someone you know may need to read this very important message. ⚠️🚙⚠️

SIX MINUTES is all it takes for a dog to overheat in a hot car.

Your dog could suffer serious injury or die in a matter of minutes if left alone in a car.

• The temperature inside a closed vehicle left in the sun can double within 12 minutes.

• At least 75% of the temperature increase in a closed vehicle occurs within 5 minutes of closing the vehicle, and at least 89% of the temperature increase occurs within 15 minutes of closing the vehicle.

• Temperatures exceeding 104˚ F can lead to death or serious injury for the occupants.

• Temperatures in a closed vehicle sitting in the hot sun can reach 160˚F and above. An animal will suffer immeasurably and may die before the temperature reaches 150˚F.

• Even when parked in the shade, the vehicle temperatures can exceed 104˚C.

• Leaving windows down more than 2 inches on an unattended vehicle will not prevent a car from reaching extreme temperatures.

• Even if the animal is revived, they can die due to severe internal organ damage.

Your dog trusts you to have their best interest at heart ALWAYS.
Please don’t risk their safety.

If you are not taking your dog inside your destination with you, PLEASE leave them at home where they are comfortable and safe.

🌞🐾 HOT WEATHER REMINDERS!! 🐾🌞

Please be mindful of your small furries, Reptiles and any other Animal you have, in our delayed UK summer heat!! 🌞

Make sure you keep all (mostly Small Animals) enclosures clean and dry, to prevent flies and fly strike! 🪰

Make sure ALL water bottles and bowls, filled up daily, with clean, fresh and cool water! 💦

Make sure you watch your Reptiles heating, heats mats, bulbs etc; either have them turned off in peak heat, or dial them down on your thermostats! 🌡️

Spray down all your Reptiles and Invertebrates, to give them a freshen up and a cool down! ☔️

Use ice packs, frozen water bottles, homemade ice - treats, to keep your furry friends cool, and also entertained! 🧊

Walk your Dogs in the cooler evenings, if its too hot for you, its too hot for them! 🐕‍🦺

Over heating, heat stroke, dehydration etc, are all very real, and too common, whilst easily preventable! 🥵

Keep a very close eye on your Pets, so the warmer weather is more enjoyable for us all! 😎🧉🌞

Did you know Ferrets, were much loved pets in History and with the Royals??? 🐾

Ferrets have been beloved pets for centuries!! ❤️

One famous Ferret lover is Queen Elizabeth I, (on the right) who had her pet Ferret included in this royal portrait from 1585! 👑

And the lady on the right is ‘Lady with an Ermine’; The Lady with an Ermine is a portrait painting widely attributed to the Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci, and captures Cecilia Gallerani, with a creature from the Stoat/Ferret family!! 😱

I knew I was something special! 👸🏻👑💍🐾

Your forever, on going support means the absolute world to me, my critters & my small business!! 🥹🐾

If you have ever had the pleasure of meeting my team… wether we visited your home, attended your birthday party, or you’ve simply met us along the way; I would be so grateful of some positive feedback, here on my page!! 📲💌

Thank you so much!! 💚

Meet Sonny & Cher!! 🦗

These are a male and female pair of Giant Spiny Stick Insects!! 🐜

They are found in trees and shrubs in the rain forest of the Papua New Guinea!! 🌴💦

During the day, they are found hiding/sleeping beneath bark and leaf matter, as they are active at night, and will come out to feed!! 🌸

Males have large spikes on their rear legs, to trap and injure prey; whilst Females have a large ovipositor, for laying eggs into moist soil 🪴

Whos having a hold??? 😜

Meet Gloria!! 🦎

Gloria is a juvenile Crested Gecko, originating from New Caledonia!! 🌴

Crested Geckos were thought to be extinct, prior to rediscovery in 1994!! 😱

Cresties grow to be around 8 inches (20 centimeters) long, with their tails accounting for almost half of that body length; we always talk about how special their tails are, being prehensile, meaning they can use it like a Monkey does, to grab on to things, climb and swing!! 🐵

They can also drop that tail off completely, by detaching it at their rear, if they get startled, frightened or upset; but do not grow it back!! 😔
(its also used as a defence, as they can drop it and run away from predators if needs be!)

They eat a variety of insects, such as crickets, dubia roaches and wax worms; however, in the wild they would eat mushed up fruit off the trees and jungle floor, so we provide them with a smiliar fruity mix, of all flavours!! 🍉🍌🥭🍍🍒

Dinner time for Snoop Frog! 😋🐸🐁

17/06/2024

Meet Snoop Frog!! 🐸💚

Snoop Frog is a Pacman Frog also known as a Horned Frog (Ceratophrys) and are a genus of Frogs in the family Ceratophryidae! 🐸

They are also known as South American Horned Frogs as well as Pacman Frogs, due to their characteristic round shape and large mouth, reminiscent of the video game character Pac-Man! 👾

They are voracious eaters, often eating insects, small mammals (such as Mice), Fish, other Frogs, and small Reptiles! 😱🐁

Snoop is currently eating Pinkie Mice, and Prawns! 🍤

17/06/2024

Meet Whitney Houston & Aretha Franklin!! 🕷️🕷️🖤

Whitney is a Curly Haired Tarantula, originating from Costa Rica! 🌞

The defining feature of a CHT, is its dark brown body covered with golden-red hairs along its abdomen and legs! 🕸️

And on the right, we have Aretha, who is a Striped Knee, or Zebra Tarantula! 🦓

Also originating from Central Amercia, these are found in Costa Rica, Honduras and even Guatemala! 🌴

Both have a diet that consists of insects, such as crickets, wax/ super worms, dubia roaches and locusts! 🦗🪳

These will both be joining me and my team in our sessions and encounters; but will be SHOW ONLY, due to their fragility ❤️‍🩹
