🎯 Dart Frog Trios 🔔

Look at these beautiful Dart Frog Trios we’ve had delivered into us over the weekend.

3 x Bumblebee Darts - Dendrobates Leucomelas
3 x Highland Bronze Darts - Dendrobates auratus

These stunning terrestrial frogs would make a great addition to any planted vivarium or as part of a paludarium.

Dart frogs are primarily diurnal, which means they are active through the day & make for enjoyable viewing as they hop through their vivarium in search of food.

Why not pop down and see if you can spot these beautiful frogs.

🔔 New Website 🔔

This has been a long time coming, a lot of you have asked us to update the old website or have said you’d had issues gaining access at all. That was mainly down to us working on a new site in the background.

This new website feels fresh and up to date. We will have up to date livestock lists, shop updates & in time, fingers crossed, and online store for those of you that live just that bit too far away to visit in person.

You can visit us at www.contactpets.co.uk

We’ve got some exciting projects on the horizon and we can’t wait to let you know what they are.

🚨 Red Eye Crocodile Skinks 🚨

We’ve just had 4 baby Red Eye Crocodile Skinks brought in from one of our approved breeders.

They are most active during dawn and dusk when they would be feeding on a variety of insects. The name refers to their spiny appearance, much like a miniature crocodile! Our Red eye skinks also have an orange-red ring around their eyes. These skinks can be handled in moderation, though they are fast runners and can be a challenge.

Crocodile skinks can be an elusive pet, due to their natural crepuscular lifestyle and camouflage against earthy substrates. They are capable of swimming and climbing, however, and can be keen hunters of live food so you won’t be missing out when it comes to watching your pet.

Perfection in miniature

Baby Leachianus Gecko’s available in store now.

The Leachianus gecko is an arboreal gecko endemic to New Caledonia, where they inhabit forest habitats. These arboreal geckos are in fact the largest species of gecko in the world. They tend to be a mix of greens, browns and grey in colour. This heavy-bodied gecko has loose, delicate skin so handling although possible should be kept to a minimum to avoid unnecessary stress and skin damage.

😂😂 Apparently we’re closing down… someone better tell the team, because we’re all still here and haven’t had time to sit down long enough to hear the news! 🤣

As for the shelves, we’d love to keep every single customer’s favourite fish in stock 24/7, but unfortunately fish don’t come with an Amazon Prime delivery option & our older, still very much loved, system has needed some time to get itself back on track. 🐠📦😂

We’re still very much open, still busy, and still doing what we’ve done for years! 💪

We’ve been here, we’re still here, and we’re not going anywhere! ❤️

But thanks for the free advertising… every little helps! 😉😂🐟
