Waterlogged Jemima!

Jemima, our mother-to-be duck at our sister park, Wheelgate in Mansfield, decided to start her family in a large planter in the middle of Goat Gruff farm and has been getting a lot of attention from both visitors and staff!



Unfortunately, with the endless heavy showers, her new home is fast becoming waterlogged and she is struggling to keep her eggs warm and dry…


After sitting on 11 eggs for the last three weeks, with only 10 days to go until they are due to hatch, Simon came to the rescue with some much appreciated temporary shelter, an umbrella!


Click the following link to preview a short clip of Jemima and her soon to be brood! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OowI9XqJ0H0


To ensure that Jemima and her family remain comfortable throughout the torrential rainfall, staff at Goat Gruff farm have decided to come to the rescue with a toddlers playhouse, providing enough shelter to keep the little family out of the rain!



Keep posted for some exciting pictures of Jemima’s new playhouse, coming soon

The tail of a young piggy called Al.

I am sure by now you are all well aware of our new little piggy arrival at Gruff Goat Farm, Wheelgate Family Theme Park, Nottingham but here is a little reminder…

One cold day last week one week old runaway piglet took refuge in a Alpaca Pen at Wheelgate Park.  After ringing around local farms and parks farm staff could still not locate little Al’s mum so we enlisted the help of the local media and press in a worldwide campaign to get him home.

After Al’s busy week of stardom he has finally got some peace and quiet and been able to settle into his new home at Wheelgate’s Gruff Goat Farm.  Staff are very pleased with his progress.  Day by day Al gets stronger and livelier and has now started skipping merrily around his new barn.

Runaway Al updater: feeling glum

Little fugitive piggy Al has had a very busy and hectic week this week with the trauma of losing his mummy and ending up in the alpaca pen at Wheelgate Family Theme Park to the masses of press and media attention is a desperate plea to return the little fella home.

He has been one popular little piggy.



But still the search continues and still no sign of mummy.

On a positive note staff at Wheelgate Park are happy with the little chappies health and he is feeding well off the bottle.  He seems to be settling into his new home very quickly and is very popular amongst staff and visitors.

The tail of the runaway piggy!!!

Our sister park Wheelgate Family Theme Park, nottingham has been kept on its toes this week with tonnes of excitement following the discovery of a runaway piglet in their alpaca pen!!

The one week old piglet recently known by the name of Al, was a surprising discovery for farm staff at gruff goat farm whilst they were feeding the alpacas on Friday afternoon. Wheelgate do not have any pigs on their family so everyone was a little baffled to say the least.

Only being approximately a week old staffs prime aril instincts where to return the little runaway to its mother. The search begins...

After ring around the local farms and parks within the area with no success the Wheelgate team have decided to take the search more global with Facebook, tv and radio campaigns.

Hopefully little Al will find his mummy!!

In the mean time little Al is being vey well looked after by catering manager Jay Bloomfield who takes the little tyke home for late night bottle feeds.

So the story continues ...
