Meet The Animals
Our animals have been carefully selected, bred, rehomed to us or rescued. They are perfect for the farm park because they are calm, safe, happy and friendly animals who love attention. See the NEW ARRIVALS to the farm park, or find out how you can DONATE somehow to help with the operations of little farm park.
Check out our open days or special events on the SCHEDULE page or BOOK IN to come meet them all. Did you know we offer RENT-A-RABBIT and ANIMAL ADOPTIONS.
Adopt an Animal
Sometimes Mrs. Macdonald will adopt out an animal who have done their time at the animal park, or surplus to requirements, or downsizing to keep numbers at optimum or because she feels they need a change of environment.
She will list any animals available for adoption and their fee.
New owners will get ongoing advice whenever required for any adopted animals from our farm park.
All adopted animals can come back to the farm park if the new owners circumstances change.
