Rydyn ni’n hynod gyffrous i groesawu Animal Encounters Wales i’n Sesiynau Dydd Sul ar gyfer profiad ymarferol, bythgofiadwy gyda rhai o’r creaduriaid mwyaf cyfeillgar a chyfareddol y byddwch chi byth yn eu cyfarfod.
Wedi erioed eisiau: ✅ Gafael mewn neidr? ✅ Gwneud i grwban wisgo het fach? ✅ Teimlo miloedd o goesau’n cropian dros eich llaw?
Dyma’ch cyfle!
📋 Beth i’w Ddisgwyl
Sesiwn nodweddiadol yn cynnwys:
🐍 3 neidr (gan gynnwys un fawr)
🦎 4 genau-goeg
🐢 2 grwban (gyda’u hetiau!)
🐹 2 fochyn cwta
🐰 1 cwningen
🦔 YTynerwchc
🕷️ A’r holl bryfed!
👉 Sylwch: Rydym yn cynnal archwiliadau iechyd ar yr anifeiliaid cyn pob sesiwn, ac mae eu lles yn flaenoriaeth. Er mai dyma’r rhestr arferol, gall fod adegau pan nad yw rhai anifeiliaid ar gael oherwydd ymddygiad naturiol megis colli haengroen neu salwch. Diolch am eich dealltwriaeth!
❤️ Mwy na Dim ond Anifeiliaid — Maen nhw’n Deulu
Mae Animal Encounters yn ymwneud ag addysg, therapi a hwyl. Mae’r tîm profiadol yn sicrhau bod pob cyfarfod gydag anifeiliaid yn ddiogel, dan oruchwyliaeth ac yn barchus. Byddwch yn dysgu sut i mwytho, dal a gwerthfawrogi bob anifail — oherwydd mai eu lles nhw sy’n dod gyntaf.
"Os na fydd plant yn tyfu i fyny yn gwybod am natur ac yn ei gwerthfawrogi, ni fyddant yn ei deall, ac os na fyddant yn ei deall, ni fyddant yn ei hamddiffyn ... ac os na fyddant yn ei hamddiffyn, pwy fydd??" David Attenborough
Diolch i’r Loteri Genedlaethol, mae’r sesiynau’n rhad ac am ddim! Dewch yn chwilfrydig, ewch adref yn syfrdan! 🐾✨
🎟️ Am ddim – Archebu'n hanfodol!

👉 Please note: All animals are health-checked before sessions, and we prioritise their wellbeing. While this is our usual line-up, sometimes animals may not be available due to natural behaviours like shedding or if they’re feeling unwell.
❤️ More Than Animals — They’re Family
Animal Encounters is all about education, therapy, and fun. Their experienced team ensures every animal interaction is safe, supervised, and respectful. You’ll learn how to pet, handle, and appreciate each animal—because their well-being comes first.
"If children don't grow up knowing about nature and appreciating it, they will not understand it, and if they don't understand it, they won't protect it... and if they don't protect it, who will??" David Attenborough
Thanks to the National Lottery, sessions are free! Come curious, leave amazed. 🐾✨
🎟️ Free – Booking essential!
