The Blue Tongue's have arrived, check out their new home.  Huge thanks to Vee and Roger who have kindly offered the Blue Tongues to EcoWorld to care for...

New display for the Kakariki finished and new arrivals...

The Kakariki now have a new bigger and better home at EcoWorld.  They have evicted the crayfish and snapper and now have a large display where they are able to fly easily.  Their numbers will soon be boosted with nine new kakariki coming in the next couple of weeks.  The quail have also moved with the kakariki and are enjoying all the space too.
Today Regan (EcoWorld's manager) is picking up the newest arrivals at EcoWorld, two blue tongue lizards.  They will go on display later today and it is hoped that visitors to the aquarium will be able to get up close with the lizards coming out to meet people daily...will keep you updated with photos later today.

New Kakariki enclosure

Construction on the new Kakariki enclosure will start this weekend, they are getting a much bigger area with viewing areas from ground level and an upper level.  Really looking forward to seeing how it all goes and hopefully we will be getting some new birds soon too. Keep an eye out for updates...

More babies...

This week we have more babies at EcoWorld. Two baby quail were born yesterday and are about the size of a cherry tomato.  At the moment they spend most of their time hiding under Dad but they are getting a bit more adventurous checking out their new home.

Nearly school holidays...

Only a few days until school holidays and we are looking forward to seeing everyone at the aquarium.  With the birth of more baby Auckland Green Geckos we now have 5 new babies - see if you can find them!!
We are also getting excited about the new projects which will start after the school holidays including a new Kakariki enclosure (which is much bigger), a new Blue Tongue Lizard display and even butterflies.  Watch this space...

It has been awhile...

Well after nearly a year of no posts (oops!!) we are back into baby season again.  Over the last couple of weeks we have had baby Auckland Green Geckos arriving. They are absolutely tiny and so very cute.  Check out these two, they are both Auckland Greens but one is the green variation and one is yellow.  Apparently yellow Auckland Green Gecko are common in captivity.

We will be back soon (promise!) with more updates from EcoWorld.

Christmas is coming....

For the last two weekends we have been involved in the Picton and Blenheim Christmas parades and here is a little peak at what we looked like...
