Animals

In the animal yard the larger animals get really close to the children. The cows, goats, Jack the Llama and the ponies all come up to the fences to say hello. The pigs come in here to have their babies and you can usually see and touch some piglets.

In the spring, the lambing shed is full of Ewes and young lambs and the goats seem to have kids all summer. There are plenty of pet animals for the children to watch; gerbils, chipmunks and mice, who like to show off, and some lizards and snails. The children are encouraged to hold baby rabbits, chicks and ducklings, under supervision and if they are lucky, Rosy the snake might come out to be stroked.

Other favourites include Rafas and Charlie, two Alpaca’s, and of course Boo the baby Rhea.
