Hey guys 👋🏼

Check out this from Unseen Universe!! Such an amazing thing these guys are doing for a fantastic cause!!

Massive respect from us to these guys for doing this to help raise some money and awareness for this!!

Oh and also did we mention you could win some really cool prizes whilst doing something great?! Who says good deeds go unpunished 😏?

Hi everyone, so here it is, the epic fundraiser and giveaway!

Donations made to enter the event made here at the JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/friendsofwestoaks

PLEASE REMEMBER TO LEAVE YOUR NAME WITH THE DONATION SO I CAN PUT YOU IN THE DRAW 😁

IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE IN THE DRAW, BUT WOULD STILL LIKE TO DONATE, PLEASE LEAVE A NOTE WITH THE DONATION.

A single donation of a fiver gets you one ticket to enter the event with…..For that you get a whopping 25 chances to win something! There’s no limit as to how many tickets you buy, and if you are lucky enough to get something, only that ticket is removed. That’s right, any and all other tickets you bought remain in the pot for the next live draw! How awesome is that? So it’s definitely worth buying more tickets (nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more eh, eh….. 😂)

It’s an advent calendar event, and so will include 25 winning tickets running from (yes you guessed it) 1st - 25th December. I’ll be doing a daily YouTube live stream draw (YouTube@https://youtube.com/c/AndrewMitchellUnseenUniverse - SUBSCRIBE if you like 😁😉), each time a winner is announced, they will win something randomly hidden behind that date of the advent calendar. Put simply, it’s 25 days of consecutive draws!!! ✊🏻😁

Prize donations will be announced over the coming week or so, but what I can tell you is that I have already been overwhelmed by the generosity of some of your favourite breeders/suppliers. Honestly, I’m genuinely touched by how awesomely generous these guys have been.

I will be giving away a HUGE gift card to spend on my website Unseen Universe (www.theprayingmantis.co.uk) on the Christmas Day draw, so that alone is worth buying tickets for right?

The charity is ‘Friends of West Oaks’. They are a Leeds based special educational needs school/college for children with communication & learning difficulties. Our son (Arthur) is autistic and has significant communication and sensory issues that severely hinder his ability to learn. We're hugely grateful that he attends West Oaks, without them we don't know where we would be with his development. So as you can imagine, this cause is something very dear to our hearts, and we want to give something back!

We would like to raise funds for this wonderful school to help them provide the best possible environment and education for the children, and to support the staff who work so hard.

Thank you so much in advance for any and all donations you might make, honestly, it means the world.

Mitch, the missus, & the boy! 😁❤️

Hey guys 👋🏼

We just wanted to make you aware that we are having to monitor the weather when sending orders out.

Please keep an eye on your emails as we will let you know if yours is going to be delayed and when we expect to be able to send it out. We will do our best to keep you updated on when you can expect to receive your new additions to the family.

We are sorry for the delay but the T’s safety comes first!

Disclaimer - if you are unhappy with the delay we will happily refund your order. Threatening to cancel your order or leave bad feedback will not make us post your order any faster. The T’s safety is more important to us than either of those things. Not only that, we will block you from ordering from us if you do not care enough about their safety to wait for delivery and act in this way towards us. We know it’s annoying and frustrating but their safety and well being is our number one priority! We will work with you to arrange a convenient day for delivery and get them to you as quickly as possible.

Stay safe and big love guys 💚🙃🕷

23/11/2021

Hey guys 👋🏼

Some new bits will be added to the site later this evening at around 6pm and all of it obviously is included in our Black Friday offers which run until the end of the month!
- 15% off everything
- Freebies worth at least 10% of your order

Sorry this is a few days later than promised! Lucian’s fault (just saying) 🙄 🙊

And again a really big thank you for your patience and also all of your congratulations and best wishes on our engagement. We are really touched by and grateful for all of them. Thank you so much guys!!

As always, stay safe and big love 💚🙃🕷

16/11/2021

Hey guys 👋🏼

Sorry we’re a day late with this but we are stoked to announce our Black Friday deals start tonight at 6pm and run through to November 30th!

We are doing 15% off everything and freebies with every order 😊 more details will be on the website at 6pm so keep your eyes on that!!

Stay safe and big love guys 💚🙃🕷

06/11/2021

Hey Guys 👋🏼

Just to let you know this is our out of office notice.

We love you all but we won’t be responding for the next week. We will do what we can to get back to any questions or queries you have as quickly as possible when we return on the 16th of November.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause!

Stay safe and big love guys 🕷💚🙃

Hey guys 👋🏼

This is Nibs. As you can see I’ve did my hair nice and you can’t see but also had my nails done 💅🏼

This is because we’re going on holiday this weekend! So as head security here I need to tell you that any orders placed after 10pm on Wednesday the 3rd November will not be shipped until Wednesday the 17th. Sorry that you’re gonna have to wait but I want to go and try some different chickens. I hear in some places they get really big and I want to eat a really big one so I need to go and find some. I don’t get enough chicken here you see. If you want to send me chicken you can. Just give it to our postman he knows where I live and I told him all the chicken has to come to me anyway so don’t worry about that I will get it.

But we’re sorry you will have to wait longer for your spiders. But we need to go and get some big chickens and also something called relaxation?? Apparently that’s a thing 🤷🏻‍♂️ so we need some of that too.

Oh also there will be some cool Black Friday offers when we get home.

Stay safe and big love guys 🙃 🕷 💚

And don’t forget send chicken 🤤

Now there’s an exit! Tina the beautiful C. fimbratus. I love Tuna for her tunnel webs but Tina definitely wins when it comes to webbing up a hide. (Tuna is my other smaller c.fimb formally known as Thomas by mistake… sorry Tuna) 😂
