Animal workshop
Here at the Mobile Mini Zoo, we bring the animals to you!
At our home, we have over 100 animals that we care for on a daily basis. Almost ALL of these animals have been neglected or abused and have been rescued, or given to us to be cared for correctly.
These animals (when they are fully recovered) join us on our shows, and it is at these shows where we aim to educate both young and old alike with these wonderful little creatures.
For further information, visit their website at www.mobileminizoo.webs.com
