You thought the piglets were cute, you wait till you see these cuties!

Jet delivered triplets last night. 2 boys and a girl.

The smallest we pulled of mum already although we hope to reunite them during day time hours soon. Why did we pull him? Lord Farquaad weighed in at a tiny 773grams and is half the size of his siblings. We felt it would be his best chance to put him straight on a bottle and hes accepted it like a champ.

Photos don’t really do justice on how small he really is. Fingers crossed he continues to thrive.

His whole world right now 😍

Have you ever been just a fence apart from the largest bird species in the world? Well you can here at Featherndown! Come meet our ostrich Louie! She'll either greet you with the zooms, a showoff of her wings, or walking at snail speed.
We're open all Saturdays during the term 😊
