Events

While we are capable of adapting our sessions to fit your needs certain topics such as slime making, bath bomb making, and soap making would not be good at an event with a large amount of people. The only reason for this is that we would be unsure of how many products to bring as well as making it very difficult for our expert to handle a group larger than 30.

No! The events on our page are the most popular ones that we do. We are happy to help make your vision come to life and bring our animals or science to your event. We are capable of adapting our topics and sessions to match what you need.

While animals can make great pets, not all are easy to care for, and many require specific environments to thrive. Our experts are happy to discuss which animals are suitable for young children and those who may not have had a pet before.

Mammals:
Mammals are often one of the best options for young children. They require a lot of attention, just like any other animal. It’s important to provide the correct size enclosure, care, and diet to ensure they can thrive. Rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters are typically excellent choices for young kids. With plenty of attention, these mammals will become your child's furry best friends.

Reptiles & Amphibians:
There is a wide variety of reptiles, and while some can be quite challenging for children to care for, others can make excellent first pets. With reptiles, it’s essential to create the right environment, as not all reptiles have the same needs. Proper heating is a significant priority, as incorrect temperatures can affect the animal's health. Keep in mind that many reptiles eat other animals, whether they are insects, mice, or rats, so ensure your child is comfortable with this aspect of care.
Amphibians may not be the best pets for children. Their environments are crucial for their health and well-being. Amphibians' delicate skin necessitates careful handling, particularly with clean hands or those sanitised with scented soaps. They can be more difficult to care for and easily frightened.

Invertebrates:
Certain invertebrates can make excellent pets for children, but others may not be as suitable. Invertebrates are delicate and require a gentle approach for handling and care. It's important to ensure their environment is safe so that nothing falls on them. Giant African Land Snails and Stick Insects are popular choices for young children, as schools and nurseries often use them as pets, teaching kids how to care for them. We do not recommend animals like tarantulas or scorpions for young children or those unfamiliar with them, as they can be temperamental and are often challenging to handle safely.

If you’re unsure about what type of animal would be best for your family, our experts can help advise you. Local pet shops can also provide valuable information. We want to ensure that you choose a pet that fits your family's needs and that your pet receives the proper care it deserves.

Acquiring in-depth knowledge about your animals is essential for ensuring they receive the best possible care. Understanding their behavior, dietary needs, health issues, and social interactions can significantly enhance their quality of life. It’s important to seek out reliable sources of information, such as established animal welfare organisations, veterinarians, and academic institutions.

One of the best sources of information for your pet’s health is your veterinarian. If you suspect your animal may be ill or in need of medical attention, your vet can provide you with the most accurate guidance for your pet.

These organisations websites often provide a wealth of resources, including articles, research papers, and care guides tailored to specific species or breeds. By familiarizing yourself with this information, you can make informed decisions that promote your pets' well-being and happiness. Remember, there is always more to learn about your animals, and staying informed is a lifelong journey that benefits both you and your furry companions.

Wild Science Ltd is a company that offers interactive educational programs and science workshops for kids. Their demonstrations and programs include a wide range of activities that teach kids about science and the natural world. Some examples of their science demonstrations are:

1. Slime making: Kids learn about polymers and viscosity by making their own slime and testing different textures and consistencies.
2. Bath bomb chemistry: By mixing safe acids and bases, kids get hands-on with chemical reactions as they make their own fizzing bath bombs.
3. Soap making: A fun and educational session that teaches about the chemical process of saponification as kids make and decorate their own soap.
4. Forces and magnets: Kids investigate how forces work by doing push and pull activities, magnet races, and levitating objects.

The benefits of Wild Science Ltd’s programs and demonstrations are many. They are a fun way for kids to learn about science and the natural world and can help spark a lifelong interest in science and learning. Interactive and hands-on activities help kids understand concepts and remember them. The activities are age-appropriate and can be adapted to suit the needs of children of all ages, from preschoolers to secondary school students. And they are led by experienced and trained educators so the sessions are safe, educational and fun for everyone.

Yes, however, while it is possible to touch or handle the animals for events, there are several important considerations to keep in mind. Here are so potential benefits of touching and handling the animals:

1. Experiential learning: Live animals can provide a hands-on learning experience for children and adults, which can be especially beneficial for people who learn best through experiential learning. You can observe the animal’s behaviour, learn how to handle the animal’s correctly and feel the difference between skin and fur.
2. Health benefits: Studies have shown that interaction with animals can have positive health benefits, such as reducing stress and anxiety and promoting social connections.

However, on the day an animal’s mood can change due to loud noises and environmental changes and you may not be able to be handle it. The decision on handling and touching will be up to the expert. This is why we will always ask that everyone keep calm and quiet around the animal’s and listen to the experts’ instructions.

It is our common practice to bring animals to nurseries, schools, children's parties, and care homes for educational sessions, exhibitions, or animal therapy.

But it is important to prioritise animal welfare in events that take place. This means while you can ask for certain animals to come to your events, we cannot guarantee any particular animal. As their health and well-being is our top priority.
