Experiences
Interactions
At Borth Wild Animal Kingdom you can talk to our knowledgeable keepers and ask them questions about the animals. Bunny handling sessions, the meerkat supper and scheduled crocodile and big cat feeding is all included in the entrance price and things you won’t want to miss.
We have a limited amount of Intimate Animal Experiences available every day so it is advisable to book in advance. However, you can ask reception to see if any are available on the day. With certain animals you can spend time accompanying a keeper into their enclosure so you can feed and interact with the animals. Choose from Pygmy goats, Creepy Crawlies, Tortoises, Reptiles, Meerkats, and Cotton eared Marmoset monkeys. These experiences are £20.00 per person, they last for about 10-15 minutes.
Animal Feeding
The Cats are fed at (3.30pm) which includes feeding all the carnivores (meat eaters), such as the European Lynx and the Owls.
Feeding pots are available to purchase in the reception area at £1.00 each. They consist of a plastic tumbler containing cut up carrot, cabbage,veg and salad as available. They may be fed to rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, sheep, ponies and wallabies.
It is ESSENTIAL that you DO NOT FEED the MONKEYS, LEMURS, BIRDS or OTHER EXOTIC animals. This is in order to keep them safe from infection and dietary complaints such as diabetes.
