Residents Enjoy Hands-On Experience with Snakes, Stick Insects, and Cockroaches in Engaging Animal Show
Yesterday afternoon, the residents of the local care home experienced an exciting and educational visit from Zoolab, led by animal enthusiast Matthew. Arriving promptly at 1:30 p.m., Matthew brought with him an array of fascinating creepy crawlies and reptiles, captivating all those present.
Residents from all floors gathered eagerly in the ground floor dining area, where Matthew had set up a special show-and-tell station. Among the animals showcased were snakes, stick insects, and large cockroaches, each introduced with engaging stories and facts. The activity was designed to be interactive, allowing residents ample time to touch and feel the animals.
Bet, a resident with a keen love for animals, was particularly enthusiastic about the cockroach and expressed her desire to take it back to her room. Ann Hewitt enjoyed the tactile experience, delighting in touching each creature, while Jim Beaton showed a special interest in the snake, admiring its sleek movements.
Matthew shared fascinating details about each animal, making the session both fun and educational. The residents loved the opportunity to learn about creatures they might not have encountered before. Many described the experience as “amazing” and “really enjoyable,” praising the activity for its engagement and fun.
The visit was a resounding success, fostering joy and curiosity among residents and creating a memorable afternoon for all involved.
