Emma from Lacey photography is coming back to do Christmas mini photoshoots with the deer! Every year she donates a portion of the fee to the Sanctuary, for which we are so grateful 🙏. It’s always a fun and crazy time, with children and animals 🤣.

He’s back 🥰. We are open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week, 10am-2pm, if you want to give him a pat (and help me get those dreadlocks out 😱🤧)

Oooooh, so close to shedding! 🤗 Any moment now! Will keep you posted

See how the antler is starting to lift up a little? Soon it will drop off, his testosterone will fall, and he’ll be back in the top paddock for pats and snuggles again 😍

Father’s Day weekend! Looks like it’s going to be a hot one, so stop in Samford for some treats and come out to the countryside for an adventure. Pop in and cuddle some deer, maybe have a little splash at Cedar Creek, then go home and watch movies in the aircon. Sounds perfect to me (but I’m not a dad, so not sure my thoughts matter in this instance. Maybe Dad would rather cuddle a B**R than a DEER, but who says he can’t do both. Just not at the same time…🤣)

🙋‍♀️ Yes, I sat down in the paddock to have break for just a minute, and Merry flopped down beside me, and it’s exactly what I needed…
Wow the world is crazy at the moment. Too much. If you feel the same and you are around Brisbane, pop in and hang out with the deer for a while. And have a chat. With a person, or a deer. Or an angry rooster, just watch your fingers

School holidays are nearly here… Please no more rain, we’ve had enough mud 😬🙏

Oooh, good work Sunshine, you’ve nearly dried up all the mud! 😅 We are all enjoying the warmth on our skin (and fur). Hopefully it will hang around for the weekend! I still wouldn’t wear white shoes to visit, but ay least you won’t need knee-high gum boots!
