"Little Den" Visit Report May 2025

[Toki]

Hi!

I visited this facility this month, and I'm writing a visit report with species list.

"Little Den" is a small indoor zoo (it calls itself a zoo but it's literally a petting cafe) in Bangkok.
It offers opportunities for visitors to pet and feed exotic animals.

Here is the species list.
I'm following the format on Zootierliste.

Black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus)
Domestic Farm chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera f. domestica)
Domestic rabbit (No Breed-Status) (Oryctolagus cuniculus f. domestica)
Fennec fox (Vulpes zerda (Syn.: Fennecus zerda))
Indomalayan bamboo rat (Large bamboo rat) (Sumatran bamboo rat) (Rhizomys sumatrensis)
Meerkat (Suricata suricatta)
Northern Raccoon (Common Raccoon) (Procyon lotor)
Thick-tailed greater galago (Brown greater bushbaby) (Fat-tailed bushbaby) (Otolemur crassicaudatus (Syn.: Galago crassicaudatus))

Here are some photos:

I understand that this type of animal cafe business may be contributing to the trade of wild animals and violating animal welfare principles. However, I was curious about the actual situation, and since it’s rare to have a chance to see a Greater Galago up close, I decided to visit out of curiosity.

I'll be uploading more photos to the "Thailand-Other" album shortly.
Feel free to leave any comments or questions!

I think these animals are more likely to come from farms rather than being captured from the wild. It's possible they were bred in captivity here in Thailand. I saw on Facebook that there are several farms in Thailand breeding these animals.

Thanks.
Yes, I think that these animals are cattive bred animals,
I was just worried that increasing demand for animals in this kind of industry may contribute to the trade of wild animals in the future.
