What TO DO & Information

Donkeys

Our donkeys love a good ear scratch and always have time to stop for a cuddle. These gentle animals are able to remember places they’ve been to before and recognise donkey pals they haven’t seen for 25 years. They’re social animals who get lonely when they’re by themselves because of the deep bonds they form with their friends and family.

Kune Kune Pigs

Biscuit and Jack are our friendly Kune Kune pigs. They may sit for you if you ask nicely!

Jacob Sheep

The Jacob Sheep is a distinctive rare breed domestic sheep with black and white markings. They can grow not just two horns but up to six horns each. And Both the males and females have the horns although the males are larger. Jacobs are less social than most sheep breeds and although they form a flock they do not stay tightly together.

Goats

Our goats are extremely friendly! Did you know, baby goats are standing and walking within minutes of being born! Being mountain animals, goats are great climbers. They have been known to climb the tops of trees and even dams!

Greyface Dartmoor Sheep

They’re also affectionately known as our fluffy clouds when they have their full coat. We have two mummies here with their young. Joyce with Ada and Bessie and Maude with Cora and Daisy.

Turkey

Also in this enclosure is our Turkey. They can run up to twenty-five miles per hour! Like Peacocks, male Turkeys puff their bodies and ruffle their feathers to attract a mate. They’re also known for their famous gobble sound.

Shetland Ponies

Our little ponies may look cute but beware as they may bite! The smallest pony breed in the UK these are also one of the hardiest, able to withstand the worst of Winter storms on Shetland. They have hairs that shed rain to keep their skin dry and thick coats to keep them warm. Dating back to the ice age these ponies would have once roamed with wooly mammoths! Perhaps why they are such feisty characters today.

Rabbits

Rabbits can turn their ears one hundred and eighty degrees to pinpoint exactly where the sound is coming from that they can hear. Although Bugs Bunny may love a carrot, they are high in sugar and can give a rabbit an upset tummy if they eat too many.

Guinea Pigs

How many guinea pigs and rabbits can you spot? They may be called Guinea Pigs but they are not related to pigs and don’t come from Guinea either, they originated in the Andes region in South America. Each guinea pig has five different types of hair that makes up their coat.

Pygmy Goats

Up next are our Pygmy goats. They are usually kept in farms for their milk or as pets since they are very friendly and playful animals; in fact, pygmy goats have been kept as pets for over seven thousand years! Like many goats, they love to climb on top of things! Can you see their own playground inside their enclosure?
