  • Feathers, fur and scales

Hedgegrove is proud to offer first class care for our exotic, furry, scaly and feathered friends.

We can provide care for Rabbits, Ferrets, Guinea Pigs, Mice, Rats, Snakes and many more by request.

We provide a variety of cages and hutches but some of our guests will need appropriate housing provided by their families. Fresh fruit, vegetables, seed and other feed can also be provided by request. We have plenty of fridge and freezer space for those wanting to supply their beloved pet with their own supply of food.

Please contact us to determine what you will need to provide for your special pet.

They might be besties 99% of the time, but the exact second the snack pouch opens? It is officially every dog for themselves!

We caught this moment with Liesl & Elsa in the playpen this week. It turns out that when there are treats on the line, all loyalty goes right out the window. Just a gentle "stiff-arm" to make sure they get to the front of the line!
