Hermanns Tortoises

Our two Hermanns Tortoises are called Dexter and Fergie and were born in January 2016. They have a yellow/orange domed shell with black markings. They do not have teeth, just a strong beak.

Rabbits

They love attention! We have many different breeds and lots to learn about the rabbits here at the farm.

Guinea Pigs

Guinea Pigs are social creatures and prefer to live in groups. They can often be heard ‘chattering’ to one another.

Chinchillas

Our Chinchillas are both male and are called Snap and Crackle. They are rodents that are ‘crepuscular’ – which means that they are active at dawn and dusk. They are native to South America.

Rats

We have some friendly rats to stroke on our animal handling sessions… If you are brave enough!
