Sorry the late of posts on here recently
We just had so many rescues in, so many bookings, so many encounters, holiday sessions and so on. We don't always get time to post up on here...but never fear, the live food and frozen food is still the cheapest. We still do bespoke custom setups, still the cheapest for providing 5 star service for holiday care for your pets while your away.
We just get super busy thats all and can't keep updating our socials all the time. Ringing us is always the fastest way to get hold of us

Anyway to make up for it. Heres a cute prairie dog for you

We recently took on these c***s through our rescue, in terrible condition, nails were growing through there feet.....covered in poo and so on. We have them now in far better condition and thet are currently looking for new homes ( can't live together).

Please message us directly

The reason comments are turned off is we do this for all rescue posts now, simply as we get 100 comments from people saying " name and shame them "....blah blah blah.....we are a rescue, not Jeremy Kyle, we are here for animals , not drama.

Thank you

We had this lovely review left for us last week

Why not consider leaving us one
We no not everyone can afford to donate to our rescue, so reviews help keep us relevant on Google and what helps people find out about our services, this in turn helps us generate funds for all the work we do

Just a polite reminder

Tomorrow the summer holidays officially starts.
We see a HUGE increase by almost an extra 300 people per day coming into see us. We do not mind at all being used as a free zoo.

However it is vital that all children are accompanied by an adult, watched and supervised the entire time.

Last half term we had to close of 5 parts of our place due to children banging on glass and distressing animals ( and we all know how parents get when someone else's tells there kid off) and almost £500 of damaged stock.

Please ensure they are respectful to the animals .
Also upon visiting, no you won't be able just to randomly hold a animal, if we allowed this then after 450 kids doing it every day, the animals would be super stressed and not good for there welfare. Instead later today we will be posting up our entire sessions for children to meet animals throughout the summer holidays .

Thanks for reading and understanding!!!
