Saturday 27th June

This week: Lots of special offers for the beginning of the month; Spiders, Domino cockroaches, Assassin bugs, Hissing cockroaches, Millipedes - Just take a look around the site :)

Coronavirus (Corvid 19)
I am doing my best to keep going. Ginny's Jungle is unable to run and my main customers at this time of year, being educational establishments, are closed to the public and therefore not purchasing. I am still caring for the daily needs of all my animals and I am continuing to send out orders and am also accepting orders for collection at the door. I have added the following additions to my regular terms and conditions:
1) I will despatch orders as soon as possible (you will still receive an email with the tracking number once the parcel has been despatched).
2) Royal Mail are doing a good job, they are still guaranteeing next day delivery but it may be a little later in the day than usual (just a few orders have arrived a day late over the lockdown period and no animals have suffered as a result).
3) If a refund is required for any reason this will be given in the form of a voucher (to be used on my website within the following 12 months)
4) You are welcome to call and collect your order from me. Simply let me know what you want and when you would like to collect.

Thank you for your support, understanding and patience at this very difficult time for us all. Please feel free to call with any enquiries, I am available Mon-Friday 8am - 4pm on 07971 838724

Ginny's Jungle Parties and Encounters

Welcome to Ginny's Jungle Parties and Animal Encounters

Most people know me as Virginia Cheeseman, this is my full name and the name I have been working under in my home bug business for more years than I care to remember. However, friends and family know me as Ginny and when out and about with my animals, I thought Ginny’s Jungle sounded just right! (I really don’t mind which name people use).

My business has changed with the times over the years and over the last couple of years I have been running my animal encounters alongside the postal supply business. You will see below the current options for my encounters, from parties to school visits and 50+ groups to residential homes. I am quite happy to discuss any special requirements that you may have with the bugs / mini-beasts, I’m open to suggestions for anything not covered here such as phobia workshops, friend’s get-togethers, children’s therapy sessions.

I keep a large collection of invertebrate animals as you will see from looking around my website. I actually supply animals to many animal encounters companies around the country, my stock is constantly changing so I always have something different to show but I also have a collection of my pets, that are not for sale (these include a small collection of reptiles). Some bugs that I always have available are Giant African snails, stick insects, giant tropical millipedes, Hissing cockroaches, tarantulas and scorpions. If you have a favourite bug, just ask, I may well have one.

When my children were younger they would often help me with the animals and come along on visits. My daughter Georgie is still living at home and helps with the day to day running of the business, she sometimes accompanies me on animal encounters when time permits. With all these animals I would never be able to go away on holiday without her being here to care for them.

Our encounters are very much a hands-on experience, although not all animals are able to be held, many are happy to be handled, we aim to make each visit fun for all. We have a lot of experience with children of all ages (my sister has 12 grandchildren ranging from 0 years – 16 years and we see a lot of them!). Sept. 2019, I now have my first grandchild, he was born on 27th Sept. 2019!

Georgie and I helped to start up a local youth club in our village and we also have experience of caring for elderly members of the family. My daughter currently works within the school system as a cover supervisor and is studying to become a youth counsellor.
