****CANCELLED Tuesday 29th August - Farewell to Ronnie and Todd, the miniature donkeys CANCELLED****

When we think our pain and suffering can't get any worse, life throws us more.

Unfortunately, Todd was taken ill on Saturday 26th August. Todd wasn't quite him self, so he was closely monitored by staff. On the morning of Sunday 27th, Todd had gotten worse, so we tried a few things which helped him feel better, but did not return him to his full self. By Sunday afternoon, Todd had taken a very big turn quickly, so we called our vets who came as an emergency.

The vet was very concerned by all of Todd's signs - there were a few different things going on with his breathing and gut, and so the vet proceeded with various treatments and medications covering all possibilities. Todd did not respond to any of these. Due to Todd not responding, we had to make another heart breaking decision and have him put to sleep in order to put a stop his suffering.

Ronnie, who is Todd's brother, has been put with our retired donkeys while he recovers from losing his brother. He seems to be doing ok, but please be sure to give him extra cuddles and fuss.

***We are closing 3rd September***

Scotty's Donkeys and Animal Park would like to thank all of their customers for their support throughout the last 10 years, especially through covid, with all their generous donations that helped keep the animals fed and well cared for. Unfortunately, our lease with Apley Estate has come to an end. We are desperately trying to find land to relocate and keep all of the animals together.

If you have and land for us to move to please get in touch.

We wish Apley Estate all the best for the future with developing their business further and their core values to look after their heritage and environment.

Thank you.

To all our Cherished customers, we will be closing our doors on Sunday 3rd September at 5pm, this is our last day of trading. Our lease has come to an end with Apley Estate.

We are still looking for land to relocate to with all of our animals, we would ideally like 15-20 acers with electric and water. We will need to make an area for a car park and toilets. We would also need to put up shelters for all animals and have storage containers for their food.
If anyone could help or knows of someone that could help please contact us as soon as you can at [email protected]

Thank you for your support over the years.
We are still open 7 days a week 9.30am-5pm, Donkey rides (weather permitting) 10.30am-4pm.

Today Rosie Billy & retired Florence were at Foxland Grange, they had a wonderful day bringing back memories to their residents. Florence also shows that just because you're old it doesn't mean you can't misbehave, she lead the younger donkey's astray!🤣🤭😯

Today Rosie, Teddy and Ludo were out of the park early to give rides at Westfield School for their beach day. Great fun was had by children and adults. Thank you for having us.
