Spring has sprung at Telford's Exotic Zoo with lambs and chicks joining their bumper litter of extra-tiny goats.
As well as welcoming a bumper litter of bounding baby goats last month, Telford Exotic Zoo have now added a flock of new lambs and freshly hatched chicks to their farmyard family.
Ten cade lambs have joined the farm for the next few months, which means quite a few nights of interrupted sleep for the keepers.Zoo owner, Scott Adams explained:"Usually, if the mums have three lambs, they can only look after two. "Cade lambs can be a pain for farmers, who are too busy to be bottle-feeding lambs. We have friends that have farms, so we step in and help out until they're eating solids."
The feeding schedule means keepers will be taking turns to pop in overnight and feed the flock, with Scott having drawn bottle duty on Friday."I was here at 1am this morning," he said."They're super cute, really friendly, so that helps. They're very happy to see us because we're their new mums, so they'll follow you around."Visitors over half term will be able to hold the chicks and chip in with bottle-feeding the lambs.
The latest addition joins a bumper litter of pygmy goats that were born last month, with each of the mums having twins.It means that the zoo has now got 10 pygmy goat kids, who, according to Scott, are still all extra tiny.Children will be able to decorate plant pots for a sunflower growing competition and take part in a free Easter egg hunt.
