Private SEN home visits 🦎

Following multiple requests, I’m pleased to announce that I’ll now be offering private, home-visit animal sessions for individuals with additional needs.

These sessions are designed for those who may find it difficult to access my usual off-site bookings through schools, youth groups or other organised settings.

Sessions available for:
• Up to 4 children
• Up to 6 adults
And their supporting adults.

The aim is to provide a more accessible experience in a familiar environment, at a pace that suits them.

📩 Please message the page for further information, availability and bookings 🧡

Reminding me that I should be feeding not doing maintenance!

I’m hoping to get this page more active now, as sharing images from outreach visits is at the customers discretion I’ll be starting a new series of 🧩Enrichment of the week🧩. Every Monday I’ll choose an enrichment item and throughout the week post videos of various species interacting with it.

The European Association of Zoos and Aquaria describes enrichment as “a process of continually providing animals with behavioural opportunities that are typical of their species, with the aim of improving their welfare.”

There are many types of enrichment including sensory, locomotory, cognitive, nutritional, social and environmental - often one activity overlaps to fit multiple categories!

Many of these can be tried at home with store bought or made enrichment items. Remember to disinfect between species and individuals, or have duplicates of the same store bought item to reduce any disease or health risk. Eg don’t put meat in an item you’re then also going to use with herbivores unless it’s plastic or steel and able to be sterilised well.

The first enrichment item is this simple puzzle toy (Pets UK). This is especially good for animals with a good sense of smell, however those with poor smell are still capable of learning that under each lid there may be food!

Good news, I had my inspection at my new premises last week and have now received my licence allowing me to provide outreach full time.

The next step will be the zoo licensing process which will allow everyone to visit the animals on site ☺️
