A Life Around Animals

We are experienced breeders of many species of animal, and we use this experience to ensure our babies are well cared for, and that they will be the best possible pet for you.

We live at home with all our animals, enabling us to give them all the time they require to become socialised with humans, siblings and their parents. Every single baby is treated as if they were the only one.

As professional breeders with over a decade of experience, we are able to guide you to the right purchases of enclosure, food & bedding, in addition to offering general adivce on how to approach various situations you may find yourself in, ensuring the transition process from our loving home to yours is as smooth as possible.

We are based in Essex and the company was set up by professional and highly experienced Zoo Keepers that have animal welfare and education at our hearts. Exotic Explorers Breeding is a partner company of the Award-Winning Exotic Explorers who are a well established animal experience company specialising in animal education for schools, parties, outdoor events and more. The company is prominent in Essex and surrounding counties, and you may well have heard of us already!

A Message From The Owners

Here at Exotic Explorers Breeding, we understand that lots of people think everyone who breeds animals is only trying to exploit them.

We have spent many years researching the proper care for every single animal we own, whether one of our parent animals or one of our non breeding pets.

There are good and bad in every field of the animal industry. There are good vets and bad vets, there are good pet shops and bad pet shops, there are good rescue centres and bad rescue centres, and just like them there are bad breeders and good breeders. Every animal that is produced here has our best care and once they go to their new homes we are always here to offer continued support.

We do not sell to just anybody, and make sure people are aware of the long term commitment of all animals. Our long term mission is to prove that you shouldn't skimp on anything and that animals deserve the best and that this in turn creates wonderful pets for animal lovers.

At Exotic Explorers Breeding, we have a lot of rescue animals that we have picked up over the years and fully support the rescuing and rehoming of animals to the proper homes that can provide the care they need, but as animal lovers ourselves we all understand that some people's lives cannot fit around rescue animals and we aim to breed young adaptable animals that can fit into any animal lovers life.
