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
Please read, this weeks session
Our latest shipment of fish have arrived recently
All settled in and available from tomorrow.
Over 2000 new fish .

This is normally our most popular session with so many reptiles to meet.
There 8 spaces left
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
Keeper experience is now fully booked.
Spaces still available for tomorrow's session
We had this lovely review left for us last week

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
Thank you for reading

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!!!

Don't forget we are closed tomorrow, so today is your last day to get your animal food, products, gifts, vouchers ,experience days and so on !!!!!!!
For those whom don't follow us on Instagram, here is a video showcasing some of the other work we do. We run a rescue, not only for some of the animals you can see on your visit but for over 1600 lives we save each year. Here is a prime example of the important work we do with British wildlife This fox was left for 4 hours while a nationwide rescue never bothered to turn up ...we did...we put our heart soul and money into getting this animal back to full health Please consider donating to see our work continue https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/Staffordshireexoticsrescue?utm_term=ZjY85Ax7z
Hope you can share 3 minutes to view this video. Our rescue is the Staffordshire exotics society. For almost 20 years we have been rescuing animals of all shapes and sizes. But the cost of living, covid and so on has caused prices to rise and more rescues to close...so we are busier than ever. Our centre pays 98% of our costs, the last 2% is grants and donations ...currently we pay for vet fees, care, solid foods, materials and every other single aspect of the 1600+ animals we rescue each year...however we have seen a vast amount of orphaned animals, including huge volumes of fox cubs that need milk. We have a donation link which we are asking if possible for you to spare any change to help us keep up doing the work we do. We are only asking for money to help pay for milk, nothing more. We have over 10,000 followers. If you can please share this video and help with donations of LITERALLY any size Thank you https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/milkfund?utm_term=WgVMqPYMZ&fbclid=PAAaZDiND6UC23BqugOO3ItYdElMYhEvMs6RqcTZ77h6_TjrYT4yHcyeEp-e8

Just a reminder in about our fundraiser we have ( check out the link) We rescue hundreds of orphaned animals each year, we do all the hard work, raise them, feed them, rehabilitate them and eventually release them...we go without sleep, have worry and stress and we do it all for the greater good. Our shop funds 98.3% of this, 1% comes from outside funding and only 0.07% is from donations We have a huge following, and yep it might sound old, but if everyone gave £1 , we could raise enough to purchase milk for years to keep these animals safe. As you can see we put these animals back into the wild, we are happy to do the hard work, we just need to help try reach our goal to Continue this.

Merry Christmas everyone So while most are unwrapping presents, playing with toys or eating there Christmas Dinner, for us the hard work doesn't stop. Animals still need feeding and while they aren't aware what Christmas day is, we still try to give many of them a extra special day with either festive foods, toys or just some of there favourite foods. Throughout the day ill show a few different animals enjoying there Christmas . Apologies for using mostly chicken and not turkey but turkey was just too expensive with the increased volume of rescues. Anyway we work hard to try and make our animals in our rescue have a magical and great Christmas. Please follow our Instagram account to see many more videos and photos throughout the day !!!
Sausages our rescued pig has heard a child is soon to be born to a couple following a star as there satnavisn't working, but all the air Bnbs are full this year, so she thought she would prepare a place for the new parents and baby to bed for the night!!!
Well a great day suddenly got crappy. This person felt the need to steal a very small pumpkin that we had grown ourselves and was due to put in for our meetkats as a form of enrichment. Absolutely crap that someone would steal a pumpkin... I no you might be saying " oh its only a pumpkin "...its the principle of it. We are free to come in and look around and really try hard to be part of the community for all to see,... Why steal a pumpkin, when it looks like they already have one....
