Turkeys, chickens and other birds
Grey Slate turkeys among them, a rare breed with a lot to say.
Raccoons and raccoon dogs
Not farm animals at all, which is exactly why they are here. Both came to us needing homes.
Raccoons and raccoon dogs are two different animals that look alike and cause the same amount of trouble. Neither belongs in a British garden, and animals like these usually arrive because someone bought one as a pet and could not keep it.
They are most active in the late afternoon. Please do not feed them; they are clever enough to work out where the food comes from and we would rather they did not learn.
Details being confirmed with the keepers
- Can I feed them?
- No, please. Look and enjoy.
- Talks
- No set talk; ask a keeper
Wash your hands
After every animal, before every snack. The stations are by the paddocks and the picnic tables.
Also worth meeting
Black foxes
Silver-black foxes with their own big enclosure. The 4 o'clock feed is the talk people plan their day around.
Ferrets
Quick, nosy and funnier than they have any right to be. The ferret talk is at 2pm.
