Our Harvest Mice (Micromys minutus) are due to arrive at the Park this coming Thursday (6th May). We're starting with 2 pairs and intend to provide an environment for them in our Discovery Zone where they'll thrive - and hopefully breed! This is Britain 's smallest mammal - weighing only 5 - 11 grams when fully grown. They feed mainly on seeds, fruits and bulbs and are active day and night, although most activity occurs at dusk. They're a delight to observe as they climb and make their way along stems, grasses and branches! We're looking forward to sharing these extremely cute new arrivals with all our visitors to the Park.
