| Spider and Posy, two small-claw twins, who would squeal for food
and rub their paws together like little Victorian
Begger-Otters. Spider loved ice - he would prise sheets of ice
up from the ground and sit up, holding the ice under his arm and
nibbling the top edge. Gradually the ice would slip down and
he would try to hold onto it until he fell over backwards!
Posy had a growth on her paw which was periodically removed - when
she thought it might get her attention, she would chew her paw. |

| Digby the Fox, who was hand-reared and would walk on a harness and
lead. He was born in 1995, and sadly died in 2001. |
 |
| Sparky and Sixpence. Sparky was Chip's brother, and Sixpence
was one of the Heaps' hand-reared cubs. When Chip was accused
of biting Sparky and they were sent to the Chestnut Centre and split
up, Sparky and Sixpence (at age 16) fell in love and had a cub. Sparky and Sixpence both died within weeks of each other in May 2004. |
