We are very well known for our small furries which include hamsters, gerbils, mice, rabbits and guinea pigs.
We breed our own mice and the vast majority of our rabbits and guinea pigs. This section is looked after by a team of friendly staff led by Sarah, who has a great interest in the rabbits and guineas, having exhibited them for over 40 years.
We normally stock Syrian and Dwarf hamsters, gerbils and fancy exhibition type mice in chocolate, tan and tri-coloureds.
Our rabbits are always very popular; in general we stock Netherland Dwarfs, Mini Lops, Dwarf Lops, Mini Rex and Dutch.
Quite often you will be able to see the babies with Mum whilst they are growing on.
With the guinea pigs we have lots of different breeds normally available, such as Teddies, Rex, Alpacas, Peruvians, Crested, Self, and occasionally Dalmatians and Roans.
Our small furries are bred and raised in the UK - you won't find any that have been imported from abroad.
