What Can I Expect
Be a keeper for the day at Hoo Farm in Telford! Roll your sleeves up and prepare to get stuck in, as the two of you become part of the animal park team for a whole day, helping the keeper team with the day to day running of this brilliant little wildlife centre near Telford.
These are very much hands-on experiences and you'll be undertaking many of the tasks a keeper would do daily. First off, you need to check in on the animals. Making sure all the residents, both large and small, are happy is all part of being an animal keeper.
Everyone loves when it's food time too, and on this full-day keeper session you'll be helping out with meal times. You might be bottle-feeding those boisterous kid goats, or giving food to the hungry meerkats (another highlight for many). Then it's time for your own break for lunch, which is included in this full day animal keeper experience.
The afternoon will be spent meeting and hanging out with lots of the other residents, including foxes, lemurs, servals, hedgehogs, skunks, owls and tortoises.
You'll also be invited to assist with any demonstrations that are happening at the animal farm while you're there. The centre is open for visitors, so you'll be able to lend a hand ‘behind the scenes' as you work with your keeper as their assistants.
If you know someone who loves animals, we think they will absolutely love our ‘Keeper for a Day' courses. This is a proper working wildlife farm, so as an extra pair of hands, you will be a welcome addition to the keeper team.
