Help!

It's my son's 6th birthday day at home on 22 March. He would love a 'Nature' party. Basically, I am just wondering whether is anyone who might lend us an interesting animal for the children to look at (chicks?hedgehog?mouse?reptile?). Obviously, we would take great care of anything loaned to us and we would give you a couple of nice bottles of wine, as a thank you.

It's probably a long shot, but I thought it would be worth asking.

Many thanks for reading this

Lucy, I am not sure if you will get a pet this way, as you would need, I imagine, someone experienced to handle an animal to make sure they are not over petted.

There is someone at Ivydale school who does really interesting talks to children and brings along snakes and bugs. He is very knowledgable and the children all seem to love his talks and shows he does at the school fair. I am sure I read in the school newsletter that he is also doing parties. If this might interest you I could get you his contact details?

Will find his details and pass them on to you.

His name is Paul, click on his website, and then click on "animal parties" for pics of snakes and bugs!

You could try Vauxhall city farm.

Maybe capture a fox off of our local streets to show off at the party? Sadly, a fox isn't very exotic in London's suburbs....
