Our mummy Degu had a Mothers Day lay in with her babies this morning ❤️
You may have noticed our degu enclosure has been cordoned off for a little while, that’s because our lovely lady degu have welcomed their beautiful babies and we wanted to give them some time to get used to the hustle and bustle of a busy shop. They are now 2 weeks old and starting to get brave and venture from the nest so if you’re lucky you may see them bouncing round their cage 🥰
We hope you all make fantastic memories today, whatever your day brings!
Happy Mother’s Day! 🌷 🌹
A lizard that only eats salads???? This is the
Moroccan Uromastyx (Uromastyx acanthinura nigriventris), a herbivorous species which is also commonly known as a 'Dabb Lizard' or 'Spiny-tailed lizard'. 🦎
This species is incredibly active and will utilise every last bit of space you give them, which is why they must go in a large vivarium filled with rocks, cork bark, branches and foliage for them to explore. They also require a high basking temperature of 40-50C, as they come from the hot Saharan desert Morocco, Tunisia the middle east, Algeria, Egypts and into India. Their diet is primarily herbaceous and succulent vegetation including grasses, cacti and flowers, seeds and grains. They do not necessarily need a water bowl as they gain moisture from the food they eat, but a small bowl of water can be provided.
For more information on Uromastyx care and setup requirements, speak to a member of our friendly team.

Last night we put a bag of desert bathing sand into the fridge to get cold overnight and placed it in with our hamsters this morning! They certainly appreciated rolling around in some cooling sand and is a great method of keeping your rodents cool during this heat. 🐹☀️

Our guinea pigs love their daily greens, particularly fresh bok choy, as you can see them enjoying in this video. 😋
Guinea pigs should be given leafy greens as part of their daily diet , which can be split into morning and evening feeds. Leafy greens provide additional vitamin C, which just like us they cannot form by themselves so they rely on a vitamin C-rich diet. 🥬🥦
Vitamin C deficencies, otherwise known as 'scurvy', in guinea pigs can lead to poor coat, ulcers on their skin or gums, diarrhoea, tooth problems, or swollen feet or joints. An ideal guinea pig diet consists of up to 80% fresh grass or hay, 10-15% leafy greens and herbs, and only 5% pellets (which must be specifically for guinea pigs due to the added vitamin C).

Mr cockerel and his ladies enjoying their forage box of mealworms, dried chillies & fresh plum this morning!🐔🐓
Did you know that hamsters are long-distance sprinters and have been seen to run up to 5 miles per night in the wild 🐾🐾!!!
Therefore, a large, spacious cage with an adequately sized running wheel is absolutely necessary. Hamsters will sure utilise all the space given to them and will exercise almost all night long on their wheel when you are sleeping! 💤
We are very strict on hamster enclosure sizes for this reason and we advocate for enclosures of at the very least 80cm of floor space, but ideally 100cm or more! We also would ensure they have access to an appropriately sized wheel, plenty of enrichment, and substrates. Hamsters are not meant to be housed in tiny cages with little to do and they deserve to have a life worth living as with all animals.❤️🐹
If you are wishing to purchase a hamster from us and already have an enclosure, we would kindly ask for a photo of the cage upon arrival to ensure that the hamster will be housed within an appropriate environment. This is for the benefit of the animal’s welfare and because we all care about every single animal that goes in and out of our store. ❤️🏡

Our resident three-banded armadillos are often tucked away asleep during the day as they are a nocturnal species. 💤
However, at the beginning or end of the day we often get the pleasure of seeing them scuttering around on their little tiptoes!🐾
