Health & Safety
All animals naturally carry a range of bugs, some of which can be passed on to humans, where they may cause ill health. One of these bugs is E coli 0157, which can cause severe illness. In order to keep you party safe, we have taken a number of steps:
- Trained animal care staff. Their instruction must be followed.
- The overalls provided must be worn.
- Wellies will be disinfected upon entry and exit to any animal enclosures or handling areas.
- Hand Wash Stations must be used. Hand Gels are not an effective substitute.
- Children who are prone to finger sucking should not participate due to increased risks.
- We recommend this activity for children aged 3 and up though younger children can particpate with close supervision and assistance
If you or anyone in your party are or may be pregnant, we advise against contact with Sheep/Lambs, as well as Goats/Kids.
