Glendeer Farm Diary

Hi Everyone, George the monkey here!

I moved to Glendeer Pet Farm last year with my wife Gina, we love it here. This year we have a new outdoor enclosure near the entrance to the farm & we can see you all when you come to visit! It’s also a perfect location to keep an eye on all the activity going on around the farm so I will keep you all updated on what’s happening on the farm including all the babies being born & any new arrivals that we might have!!!

Easter is Here!!

Hello everyone, its George here again. I'm so happy the farm is back open as I love to see all the little visitors coming to see the animals. They really entertain me & Gina (my wife) because we enjoy watching their funny antics. It's great fun here on the farm at the moment with all the new born baby animals. The lambs are jumping and leaping around! I've even seen some very lucky children bottle feeding them, they wag their tails so much...they love drinking their bottles. Oh I nearly forgot, Mia and Leah the llamas, both had their babies a few weeks ago! Mia had a little boy called Mylo and three days later Leah had a little girl. We haven't decided on the right name for the girl yet so if ye have any suggestion check out the 'Glendeer Pet Farm' facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Glendeer-Pet-Farm/288587398743 & give us all your suggestions! Imagine that...a llama with a name choosen by YOU! The gossip this week, or so I hear from the rabbits is that the Easter Bunny is very busy getting ready for the Easter egg hunts on Saturday 7th, Sunday 8th and Monday 9th of April at 3pm each day. So make sure ye all get here on time, I don't want ye to miss the hunt! I'm sooooo eggcited, Gina can't wait, and I hear there is over 2000 Cadburys eggs to find this year! Can you believe it! Sooo much chocolate, pity I'm not allowed any :-( I might have a boiled egg instead they're my favourite! So don't forget to pop in & say Hello this year, we're here everyday, looking forward to seeing you all! George the monkey! [gallery columns="2"]

Santa's coming!!!

Hi, George here again. So Halloween is over, it was sooo much fun here at Glendeer for it, I wasn't a bit afraid, so if Gina says I was don't believe her. She thought I was scared of the ghouls coming out of the grave in the Forbidden Forest but I was only pretending...honestly I was!

Anyway that's over & Christmas is only around the corner which is brilliant coz I'm missing you all now that the farm is closed. But don't worry there's lots of work going on at the moment (I'm keeping an eye on it all) because Glendeer is being transformed into Ireland's Lapland, it's so exciting!

The big news buzzing around the farm this week according to Ewdard the emu who was told by Mia the llama (she's usually right) that Santa Claus is going to make his annual appearance again this year, it's such good news! I think he enjoys coming to see us animals, he's always laughing & smiling, he's so jolly. So the farm is reopening on Sat 3rd Dec @ 5pm when the big man in the red suit arrives by horse drawn sleigh & he will be here with Dancer & Prancer of course until 23rd Dec when he has to fly back to the North Pole to load the sleigh for his busiest night - Christmas Eve! Unfortunately Rudolph can't come as he's very busy preparing the other reindeer for their long journey. Oh I have to go & write my letter to Santa now, I just can't wait! Talk to you all soon, From a very excited monkey, George the Capuchin, xxx

Hi everyone, Its George the Capuchin monkey here again. I just wanted to tell you all that the road diversions are all finished, so its back to Exit 13 of the M6 again and follow the signs for Drum and Glendeer Pet Farm. All the animals wanted me to tell ye that there is only 9 days left till the farm closes for the summer season, Sunday the 2nd of October. Then we will all be very busy getting ready for our Spooktastic Halloween Adventure which starts on the 29th of October. I will keep ye posted on the progress for our scare fest! There are also some new baby arrivals to the farm since I was talking to ye last. Tabby the cat had three lovely little kittens just over 4 weeks ago. There are full of mischief, jumping and climbing everywhere, very cute! Also Snuffles the pot belly pig had four little piglets a week ago. There getting very big already! We have them under a red lamp to keep them nice and warm. However the pigions have decided that is one of the most comfortable places on the farm at the moment and have moved in with the pigs. They spend most of there time perched on the mammy pigs back enjoying the heat! Clever pigions! Check back next week to find out about all the ghoulish events that will be happening over the Halloween break!
