We had an exceptional experience at the Moyston Easter Market yesterday, with large crowds, lots of stalls and extensive entertainment options, making it one of the most enjoyable markets we have attended.

We appreciate the assistance provided by a friend who came along on the day, which enabled us to get some photographs during our wildlife show. 🧡

Next time we will remember to wear sunscreen! 🤣

Last year, we began collaborating with Tandara Lutheran Camp to provide school camps an option to have interactive wildlife shows for their students visiting Halls Gap. 🐸

Here's last night's setup for an engaging group of years 3 and 4 students who met a large variety of species, including lizards, snakes, insects, turtles, frogs & squirrel gliders! 🐍

On Saturday we celebrated Erin’s 7th Birthday! 🎁

Erin’s parents invited us to surprise Erin on the day, we think she was pretty chuffed about all the animals that came along to celebrate! 🥳

Erin and her friends showed us how they were so kind and confident around animals that they may have never seen or been near before.

Bumpy, Butters and Bean!
Who doesn’t love these little green gremlins! 🐸

Australian Green Tree frogs have massive personalities, especially when it’s time to eat. These guys will eat anything that fits in their gob!

In the wild their diet mainly consists of insects, including cockroaches and moths, but they are often obseved to be regularly eating small mammals like baby mice, and small reptiles such as lizards and snakes!

The most common question we get asked when people meet these guys is- “are they real?” 🤣

Hi everybody,
We are posting to update you on what has been happening, as it has been some time since our last post.

Our summer season was marked by extreme heat and significant events. Due to the intense temperatures, we made the deliberate decision to refrain from participating in events since the start of 2026, prioritizing the welfare and safe transportation of our animals.

The heatwaves presented considerable challenges, and our primary focus was ensuring the health and well-being of our animals by keeping them cool. Unfortunately our property was impacted by bushfires, meaning we had to do an emergency evacuation of as many animals as possible, although fortunately, the property itself was ultimately saved.

During this period, we sadly lost Adam, our Albino Darwin Carpet Python, whose passing was not related to the bushfires but seemed to be heat related, we suspect it may have been a faulty thermostat or the stresses from the extreme weather, his death was quite sudden. This period of time was devastating to us. We took a temporary break from posting as a result. 💔

As time passed by, we had decided to start constructing new lizard pits for our shinglebacks and blue tongues and are saving up money for an insulated reptile room.

We are now resuming our work schedule this weekend and look forward to a productive year ahead with our business and animals. 💕

Regards,
Michael & Neve

Abby our Squirrel Glider and her Antics!

Just over two weeks ago, we noticed that one of our squirrel glider girls, Abby, had developed a large abscess on her face. We quickly contacted our local vet and managed to get her an appointment the very next day.

By the time her appointment came around, the abscess had burst and poor Abby wasn’t looking her best. Being a small rural clinic, it’s not every day they have a squirrel glider come through their doors!

After two weeks of medication and some time living in a hospital cage, we’re thrilled to share that Abby has made a full recovery ❤️‍🩹

A huge thank you to Your Family Vet for their help!
