Pet Handling Show

Our Pet Handling show is a fantastic opportunity to “cwtch” some of the little furry friends that we have here at Cantref! Members of our enthusiastic entertainment team will be on hand to tell you some fascinating facts about each of our pets.

Animal Handling

During the Animal Handling you can see many animals including Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Rats, Mice and Ferrets. Other animals you can see in our pets corner are Chinchillas, Gerbils, Degus, Budgies and Terrapins. We regularly have adorable baby animals to see too!  Everyone loves to pet the cuddly guinea pigs.

Pet Handling takes place twice a day in the Pet Barn at Cantref Adventure Farm. Sometimes our show programme includes our pet barn bedtime show where you can feed the animals.

If you want a longer private hands-on experience with the animals you can book one of our private VIP Sessions.

So if you are looking for a petting zoo in Wales with lots of hands on animals experiences then Cantref is the perfect place for you.
