Pet Farm

There are days when you wake up and just want to do something that you have not done before. Sunday was one of those days so we decided to bring Zoe to one of the Pet Farms in Pasir Ris Farmway. It wasn't as far as we thought and we got there in around 30 mins.

Entry to the Kampung is $1. If you want to do longkang fishing, it will be $10. I think longkang fishing is terrible because most of the time, you don't have the proper conditions to keep the fishes so they end up dying a slow painful death. Anyway, back to the farm.

$1 also gives you a pack of pet food which you can use to feed the many kois that they have.
The fishes almost beached themselves against the shallow part of the pond to get the food. Apparently, you can "pet" them and they will eat from your hand too!
There are also swans...
Chickens...
and also ducks that you can feed using the same "fish food".
There are a lot of rabbits too!
Here's how you do it... you take the food...
and put it down the tube which will deliver the feed into the rabbit's food tray...
Zoe had fun feeding all the animals!
While mummy's in the toilet, we took a picture with a dog statue...
And went to the Ikea nearby for lunch later....
Well... the pet farm is a pretty enjoyable experience. We managed to get there early and had some time for ourselves before a big group of folks from a CC came by and it became pretty disruptive since the place is not huge. In the same area, there is a fish farm that sells exotic fishes (mainly Siamese Fighting Fish and Ranchus). There is also a dog run and swim area. There should also be a florist but it was closed on Sunday.

While on the topic of feeding pets, there is actually a couple of rabbits in the community garden near our home. The intention is good... they keep the rabbits there with a stash of grass nearby for kids to feed the rabbits.

But the wire cages are not lined with any kind of bedding so it's probably hurting the rabbit's feet. Also, during rainy days, they are also left there with barely any shelter. :(
