Pets Corner

The Pets Corner is always popular with its collection of really tame domestic animals. Goats and turkeys, rabbits and guinea pigs are permanent residents, joined in the summer by calves from a Lincolnshire farm.

These are the only exhibits, along with the Koi Carp, that may be fed by the visitors. The racks are always stacked with hay and at the nearby giftshop, packets of suitable food may be bought.

TORTOISES
Two types of tortoises are kept at Natureland - the Spur-thighed and the Hermanns tortoise. They originate from the countries around the Mediterranean e.g. Greece, Turkeyand North Africa and are now an endangered species due to loss of habitat and exploitation for the pet trade.
In the last few years baby tortoises have beensuccessfully hatched at Natureland and the tortoise enclosure has been redesigned to encourage further captive breeding.

KOI CARP
Koi can become very tame and can be handfed.Suitable food can be purchased from the feeding stations around the pool.
