Come & Enjoy our famous Sunday Buffet this Sunday, 1 January 2012.

There are nearly 3,000 species of stick insects in the world and one of them, the Australian Stick Insect, can be found at Sterkloop Tackle and Petshop as long as stocks last. They all feed on vegetation and are one of the most popular insect pets.

One of the out-of-the-ordinary pets at Sterkloop this month are Hedgehog Tenrecs, also known as the Lesser Hedgehog Tenrec.

The Hedgehog Tenrec is endemic in Madagascar and lives in sub-tropical and tropical dry forests. It looks the same as the Hedgehogs found in South-Africa but they are smaller, from there the qualification as "Lesser" Hedgehog.
