Help feed the animals when we are closed

Help feed the animals when we are closed

To ensure the safety and well-being of our animals it is important that they regularly receive visits; especially when we are closed. At least once a day would be a minimum.

We have a roster and request that every family nominate at least one weekend to help out.

Feeding instructions for the Guinea Pig’s

 Pellets

  • Fill bowl or feeder up with Guinea Pig/Rabbit pellets.
  • Do not fill with chicken pellets as this upsets their digestive system.
  • If the food is old/ soggy throw it out and refill with fresh food
  • The pellets can be found in the cupboard beside Ruby’s hutch.

Water

  • You can fill up the water bottles at the tap beside the sandpit.
  • It is really important that the water bottles are filled to the top, especially on those hot weekend days.

Fresh fruit and Veggies

  • Save your veggie scraps for our animals to enjoy. They can eat almost anything; just avoid potato skins, cabbage and bananas.  If you are unsure about anything don’t hesitate to ask.  “Google” can be very informative as well.

And for the chickens…

General

  • Water trough can be filled at the tap beside the coop.
  • Pellets are in the white plastic box.
  • One scoop of pellets per bird.
  • Spare chicken pellets are kept in the maintenance cupboard or shed.
  • Fresh fruit & veggies, avoid oranges and bananas.
  • The chickens will appreciate an opportunity to have a scratch around. They must be put back in the coop at night’s to avoid predator attacks.

We are always on the lookout for straw and hay.
If you can help with a regular supply that would be much appreciated.
