Meet the amazing animals with the carnivore combo experience for two at Hoo Farm, north of Telford. The Keeper will introduce you to three animals, the fantastic red fox family, snakes you get to stroke and the serval cats Zeus and Dooma to cuddle. All the animals are tame and love to meet people especially if you give them some treats. You will get to give these animals their food but don't worry you won't be on the menu, the animals much prefer chicken or some rabbit (hopefully you’re not squeamish). The brilliant keepers at Hoo Farm will tell you all about the residents when you get up close to the animals that most people only see from the other side of the enclosures fence. You will both have an unforgettable hour with these captivating carnivores.
