Animal Acceptance Information

Dear Visitors!

Many people contact us by phone or in person, expressing interest in bringing animals to the zoo, as they have heard that the zoo accepts animals. However, our Wildlife Rescue Center only accepts representatives of native, wild fauna. In the following information, you can read which animals we do and do not accept.

ANIMAL ACCEPTANCE INFORMATION
Animals are accepted during opening hours, with the last intake possible one hour before the current ticket office closing time (or two hours before the zoo closes). Prior telephone coordination is required!

Animals that can be accepted:

• injured/sick individuals of native, wild amphibian, reptile, bird and mammal species
• young, care-dependent individuals of native, wild bird and mammal species
• slider turtles

Ornate box turtles are only accepted after prior coordination! Before bringing the animal, please call the zoo at +36 96 618 367, as we will no longer be able to accept animals after the onset of cold weather (October-March period).

Only after prior coordination can we accept:

• healthy individuals of native, wild amphibian, reptile, bird, and mammal species
• exotic and pet animals
• farm animals

Animals that cannot be accepted:
