Bert and Ernie are part of a growing trend in hairless pets. 😕 As cute as this pair are, hairless pets come with many health issues such as respiratory problems, skin injuries and a shortened life span. 💔 Due to their complex needs, please consider this before welcoming any hairless pet to their home.

Hello everyone,

Unfortunately we are still having to chase up payments and therefore we will now be requiring a 50% NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT on all bookings in order to secure your date, to be paid within 24 hours. The remaining fee is then due BEFORE our visit.

We really hoped that we wouldn’t have to do this and we were extremely flexible with payments, however we unfortunately do not have the time to be chasing people up (and we hate to have to do it!)

Thank you so much for your understanding.

Thank you so much to everyone who came this afternoon, and a very special thank you to those who made donations to our petting zoo - you’re so kind.

This was a new thing we were trying out, as many of you had been asking if you can make a donation to ourselves. So now you can!! All donations go towards a treat for the animals or some munchies as a reward for being so well behaved on our visits, and just to show them how much we love them!! ❤️

We are so grateful and pleasantly overwhelmed by the kindness and love that we receive 😇

Hi guys, this is just a reminder to have a read of all of the attached documents on your confirmation emails. We do have to adhere to a cancellations policy, which is outlined in two documents on your email, as we are a small business and unfortunately do lose out when we have secured a day for you and then you have to cancel. We understand some things cannot be helped, and therefore we may be able to waiver such under exceptional circumstances. However, for the most part, there will be a cancellation fee if you decide you no longer want us to attend.

Thank you for your understanding 💕🐾
