Animal Collection

As a Hartpury student, you'll have access to over 70 domestic and non-domestic species on-site. There aren’t many places that you’ll have access to invertebrates, reptiles, livestock and exotic species.

We have several different animal areas on campus which you can access: 

• The Animal Management Centre works as a purpose-built teaching space, that houses a wide range of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates to diversify your practical experience. It also has a fully stocked aquatics room with a variety of tropical and cold-water fish and semi aquatic species including axolotls, crayfish and amazon tree milk frogs.
• The Walled Animal Garden is home to our small mammals such as rodents, chinchillas, rabbits, guinea pigs, skunk, prairie dogs, meerkats as well as tortoises and aviaries. It also features a three adaptable teaching spaces for outstanding practical sessions.
• At the orchard paddocks you can find wallabies, llamas, poultry and rare Bagot goats.

You'll also have access to the domestic species on our commercial farm and horses in our world-class equine facilities, including our Equine Therapy Centre.
