Adopt a Crazy Critter

Give a gift with bite - Adopt a Crazy Critter

Adopt a crazy critterAdopt Hugo the Galapagos tortoise, a cuddly koala or even a rare threatened species like the Tasmanian devil. Individuals, families, clubs, groups, schools and organisations can sponsor their favourite animal by adopting a Crazy Critter.

By being the proud adoptee of an animal at the Australian Reptile Park, you will be helping cover the daily costs involved in caring for the animals including feeding, heating and qualified daily care from zoo keepers. You will be assisting in the conservation of some of the world's most endangered species by supporting the Park's breeding and education programs.

And that's not all! Your adoption will also help save human lives by supporting the Park's snake and spider venom programs.

Whether it is a gift, something for yourself, in recognition of a special occasion or a group purchase, adopting a Crazy Critter is a great option for any animal lover.

About the Program
The Crazy Critter Adoption program runs for a period of 12 months from the date the application is processed. There are 6 adoption packages to choose from and each comes with a list of Adoptee benefits. Every adoptee receives tickets to the annual Crazy Critter Adoption BBQ held in November each year. This BBQ is a chance for the Australian Reptile Park Staff and Management to thank the adoptees for their generous support. The BBQ also provides the adoptees the opportunity to get right up close to and, where possible, hold or touch, their adopted animal.

Benefits
The biggest benefit of all is the satisfaction of knowing that your contribution is helping provide the best possible food and care for animals in the zoo.
