We're finally getting back into the regular routine after all the wonderful craziness that was March Break. Here is a pic of just one of our adventures. I'll try to get a small album up on our FaceBook page in the very near future....

March Break Day 3
What an interesting and slightly crazy day. We were at Oakville Place all day with a display and a few small stand up shows. We'll be back again tomorrow (Thursday,) Friday and Saturday. For stand up show times please call guest services. There are no posted show schedules on site.
We were also at Milton Mall and Sheridan Centre for a 40-minute stand-up show followed by a meet and greet at each. I can't believe the HUGE interest. We must have had over 200 people at each show. Jon, Daniyal and I are still talking about what an incredible experience it was for us. We really hope that you like the animals.
On a personal note. If you have come out and seen on of our shows and fallen in love with any (or all) of the wonderful animals that you met, please remember that you are the key for these animals' survival. The main reason for animals to end up on the threatened or endangered list is habitat loss. Other key reasons are pollution, over hunting/harvesting and the introduction of non native species into an environment. To learn about how you can help these animals in the wild, visit sites like www.panda.org

March 16, 2010 - March Break MaDdNeSs
Had a great time at Erin Mills Town Centre on Monday. It was really neat to see SO many people at our four shows. At times it was a little crazy and I want to thank everyone for their understanding and their enthusiasm once we got our show going!
We are definitely looking forward to future events at Erin Mills Town Centre ie Earth Day (cross our fingers!)- and we even picked up a beautiful mic and amp in anticipation!
Right at this second, we gearing up for our other shows. There are many camps and birthday parties planned for this week.
Tomorrow we're starting our 4 day display show at Oakville Place in Oakville (QEW at Trafalgar). We'll be there during mall hours and will have a lovely array of animals both on display and to touch.
We will also be at Milton Mall in Milton (Main St/ Ontario St.) from 10 am until noon. We will be doing a 40-minute stand-up presentation followed by a 1 hour and 20 minute meet and greet.
Later tomorrow afternoon from 2 pm until 4 pm we will be at Sheridan Centre in Mississauga(2225 Erin Mills Parkway) for a 40-minute show followed by an 1 hour and 20 minute of meet and greet to follow.
Bring your cameras and we'll see you soon!

March 4, 2010 - Elongated tortoise eggs
After two weeks of digging and digging, our dear female elongated tortoise FINALLY laid two eggs. Now these aren't just any eggs... These eggs are bigger than her head! Ouch!!!
We're really hoping that these eggs hatch into beautiful healthy babies. Elongated tortoise are currently listed CITIES Appendix II, which regulates legal international trade. This species is under some extreme pressure in it's natural habitat in Asia (from Nepal to Malaysia) because of over harvesting for the food market. Even with CITIES protection it is still the most common tortoise shipped to the Chinese food markets from Vietnam and are still featured on importer’s price lists.
Captive breeding of these species is very important and I encourage any hobbyist with these little guys in there collection to make serious efforts to help continue the survival of this wonderful animal.
It would be a dream for all animals to live peacefully in their natural habitats but that is not the world that we are living in. Our way of life are threatening other living things and in the end are threatening our own existence too....
