The Farmers’ Market is held from 9am to 2pm at The Pantry at Loewen Gardens (near Dempsey). The main idea behind the Farmers’ Market is to capture a piece of home – the simple pleasure of people chatting about food and being passionate about produce. Find gourmet meats, wines, organic vegetables, cheeses, breads, and homemade baked goods. Pop in for cooking demonstrations and a wine talk in The Pantry Cooking School. The Markets are held on the first and third Saturday of each month.

This week, we present you a sneak-peek at the new enclosure set up for Midori, one of our Green iguanas. A few years ago, he was rescued from an industrial area, with stomach ulcers resulting from razor blades in his stomach. (He is well now :) We routinely periodically change enclosure furniture for our enclosures, but this time - we took inspiration from the 'shaking log' enrichment that Valerie (one of our iguanas) got a few weeks ago. Expanding the idea, part of Midori's enclosure can swing ...

8 March 2014 - It was a rough Saturday for the Macaque Rescue Team. It was mid-afternoon and the Bukit Batok Nature Reserve Macaques were making their way back into the forest for their afternoon nap. They took turns crossing the road but a female carrying 2 babies lost her life while trying to make her way back. Here's a first hand account from Sabrina, a member from the team, who witnessed the roadkill accident:
" Witnessing it being knocked down by a speeding car was tragic. The 2 babies got...

Animal Trivia Monday: " Learning and Understanding to Co-exist with our native wildlife - SNAKES
Yes, you did not hear us wrongly. Singapore despite being a compact urban city, is lucky to have a rich diverse wildlife.
Snakes are part of Singapore's unique wildlife and they could be losing their home fast from loss of habitat resulting from urban development. Could it be a losing battle? It is something we all can play a part in.
Often misunderstood as slimy, evil and vicious creatures, snak...

The pigeon featured here is the Common Pigeon, or Rock Pigeon. It is an extremely misunderstood animal in Singapore, and are considered by most to be pests. Here at ACRES, we do receive calls regarding injured birds from time to time, and will try our best to help them.
If we take a step back and look at these animals carefully, you would be surprised at just how beautiful nature is. One should always take time out to admire colours as well as form, and how nature seems to put everything toget...

The ACRES Lao volunteer programme is raising awareness about animal welfare among local kids too.
Over in ACRES Lao PDR, our volunteer programme is gathering momentum. Last week we welcomed 40 (yes, that's right four-zero) students from Vientiane College, who came to volunteer as part of their 'Community Service' course. The students are all on the American Access course run by the US Embassy in Lao and for many of them it was the first time they had been to the Sanctuary and seen such animal...

Among all the turtle and tortoise residents of ACRES, the mention of Common snapping turtles always seems to strike fear in visitors due to their powerful large jaws and ability to snap at their prey.
But these ancient looking turtles share many more fascinating attributes. Here we have a close up shot of "Newton", our Common snapping turtle attempting to tear apart an enrichment.
Common snapping turtles have existed on Earth for millions of years and shared the rivers with dinosaurs. They hav...

Suzzie was taken in for an x-ray check last week. There are still some gaps in between her bones but the good news is, they are fusing back with the help of the 2 pins.
As Suzzie gets stronger each week, the Macaque Team implemented changes into her 'home'. New puzzle feeders were given and she has been utilizing them well. The branches have also been raised higher to allow her to climb and stretch her muscles better. Interestingly, now that the branches have been raised, it gave an added '2 st...
