Tropical house. This is our most ambitious project yet and is estimated to cost as whopping £50,000.

In the very early stages of planning, if permission is granted and the huge amount of funding is raised, the tropical house will be home to:

All of our reptiles , our marmoset family, our capuchin monkeys (Brian and Bim). All will have bigger, better enclosures and the primates will have new outdoor areas. Brian’s current house is now one of our oldest enclosures at 17 years and is way past due for replacement. This is a massive , but essential project. The new reptile area will include a small foster area for reptiles we cannot permanently house. This holding area will be a temporary home for unwanted reptiles while we find them forever homes.

Moving the reptiles will then allow us to renovate the current , 23 year old reptile house. This will become a small nocturnal house, becoming home to our bats, Kinkajous, giant rat and sugar gliders.

The huge project will then leave space for new, better homes for our raccoon dogs and Coatis. Might have a sleep after that!

Your donations help us to continue to provide the best quality of enhancements to enclosures and enrichment facilities we can afford as the welfare of our animals is the most important to us. Please help us, every donation, however small, is gratefully received.
