PARENTS in Ruislip are invited to take their children to a series of free workshops at Pets at Home this February half-term.

The workshops will focus on caring for gerbils, teaching children how rewarding these small furries can be and how to care for them.

The workshops will run as part of the My Pet Pals Activity Club at the Ruislip store and bookings can be made at petsathome.com/workshops.

Pets at Home staff will run the workshops from February 10-25 February to share their knowledge on everything gerbil-related, teaching children how to care for them responsibly in a fun and interactive way.

There’s also the chance for the children of Ruislip to meet and ‘greet’ these friendly animals.
