Folly Farm: Part 1 - Pets corner

Some of you may remember that - back in April - we planned to go to Folly Farm, but never ended up going. Well, we went on Thursday. Yep, that was the outing I hinted about a little over a week ago. ;)

First place we went when we got there was to the "pets corner" section.

There was some kind of lizard thing there, but I wasn't interested in it, what with not being a fan of reptiles, and Mam wasn't sure she could get a photo of it anyway, because of the kind of cage it was in. She did, however, manage to get a photo of the tortoise that was there



There were also several different kinds of rabbits. They were really hard to get photos of, because most of the animals seemed to have been given food and be ready for naps. But we did get this one.



I'm not sure which one it was. I don't remember all the types of rabbits that were there. I know there was a Rex, a Lionhead, a Lop x, and at least one other breed. They did also have their names listed, but I don't remember most of them. I'm sure the Lop X was called "Gabriel" though.

They also had guinea pigs. Just like this one.



There was also at least one chinchilla, but all we could see of it was it's butt, so we didn't bother trying to get a photo of it. After all, I'm sure there are nicer things to look at than a chinchilla's backside. LOL!

But my favourite was a rat named "Delilah" that I got to hold.



And who seemed to like sitting on my shoulder.



I love rats, and the only reason I don't have a pet one myself is that neither Kelly nor my Mam like rats, so neither of them will let me have one. It's a shame, because - despite what many people think - rats are generally very clean animals, and they are also very intelligent animals.

Anyway, those were the main points of the pet area, and - too keep the posts from getting too long - I'm seporating the trip in to a few posts, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow for the next part.
