点评:We visited here to do the otter experience & wow! What an experience it was.
We were booked onto the 1030am slot and whilst we waited, took the opportunity to look round the butterfly house. Pleasantly surprised as there were far more butterflies than we expected in mid November!
The otter experience started with a tour of the sites & explanation of our morning. The staff here are so knowledgeable & clearly love working with these amazing animals.
All the otters are all well looked after and split into different pens depending on their familial grouping or specific needs.
We helped prep the food for the otters then took the food to the pens and either hand fed them or threw individual pieces to them. It was brilliant!
Hand feeding was such a special experience. Gorgeous Peggy - so gentle as she takes the food from your hand. Willow & her large brood of children really enjoyed their meatballs & standing on each other’s heads to get more!
Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, we went into the pen with Pepper, Hercules & Halloumi where we were able to sit and feed them as they sat on our feet (this is why wellies are necessary!) & scuttled around us.
Got to also mention the funny polecats & gorgeous Izzy the iguana!
It was a brilliant morning & worth the 4hr journey to have such a memorable experience.
Thank you to all the staff who do a fantastic job. A day we will never forget!!
翻译:我们来这里体验水獭,哇!真是一次难忘的经历。
我们预订了上午 10:30 的时段,在等待期间,我们借此机会参观了蝴蝶馆。惊喜的是,这里的蝴蝶比我们 11 月中旬预期的要多得多!
水獭体验从参观景点和讲解我们的早晨开始。这里的工作人员知识渊博,显然很喜欢和这些神奇的动物一起工作。
所有的水獭都得到了很好的照顾,根据它们的家庭分组或特定需求被分成不同的围栏。
我们帮助为水獭准备食物,然后把食物拿到围栏里,亲手喂它们或把食物单独扔给它们。太棒了!
亲手喂食是一种非常特别的体验。漂亮的佩吉——她从你手里接过食物时非常温柔。威洛和她一大群孩子真的很喜欢他们的肉丸,并站在彼此的头上吃更多!
就在我们认为情况不会变得更好的时候,我们和 Pepper、Hercules 和 Halloumi 一起进入了围栏,我们可以坐下来喂它们,而它们则坐在我们的脚上(这就是为什么雨靴是必要的!)并在我们周围乱窜。
还得提一下有趣的鼬鼠和漂亮的鬣蜥 Izzy!
这是一个美好的早晨,值得 4 小时的旅程来获得如此难忘的体验。
感谢所有出色的工作人员。我们永远不会忘记的一天!!
