"Who are we?" ~  Zippity Zoo is owned and operated by Shannon Orth.  ShannonZZ-pics-Micah touching BT.JPG (57572 bytes) has loved animals and teaching others about them ever since she was a young girl.  She is an experienced animal handler and breeder, having raised and cared for many species of animals since youth.  For the past 12 years she has been a wildlife educator for summer camps, schools, youth groups, and many other types of events. Today, Shannon is focusing on breeding the animals that she really enjoys and raising her wonderful daughter, Micah, who also loves animals and plays an important role in the day-to-day care of the animals.

"What animals do we breed?" ~  Currently we enjoy breeding mostly farm animals, such as, Nigerian Dwarf Goats, Miniature Potbelly Pigs, and Silkie Chickens. We, also, breed African Pygmy Hedgehogs and a variety of tortoise and turtle species. We also own other animals, such as horses, dogs, cats, a prairie dog, and a striped skunk, but do NOT breed any of these animals.

"Where are we located?" ~  Zippity Zoo is located about 15 minutes west of the small town of Shelby, NC which is about an hour west of Charlotte, an hour south of Hickory, an hour east of Asheville, and an hour north of Greenville, SC. To get online directions to our location, please use the address listed on the Contact page.

"When can you come?" ~  Those who have reserved an animal by deposit or other confirmation may schedule an appointment to come pick up their new animal...Anyone wishing to visit for other reasons must also make an appointment, but those appointment times are very limited...Please read our Visitation Policies on the Hedgehog Sales Policies page... PLEASE, DO NOT SHOW UP WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT...YOU WILL BE TURNED AWAY!  We are not a pet store with regular business hours.
