How 88petsworld Got Started Growing up on a working cattle ranch, our founder spent her childhood raising show rabbits, exotic parrots, and cattle with her family. As a young teenager, she met a kinkajou for the first time and was immediately entranced. Working alongside her family, she began breeding and raising all sorts of small exotics, from specialty colored dwarf hamsters to hedgehogs and fennec foxes. After graduating college with a psychology degree, she began working a regular 8-5 job. However, it was immediately clear that it wasn’t what she was destined to do in life; working with animals and nature was her true calling.
88petsworld was founded and created in a humble beginning in January 2008.
After almost 10 years of building and learning from ultra-successful breeding programs, it was time to move to bigger and better things. 88petsworld moved to a much larger property in 2016. The move has been wildly successful and has created opportunities to care for a wider variety of large species with room to grow and expand. Since moving, we have added private encounters where visitors can meet with our most rare exotic babies in our dedicated Cuddle Cabin.
The Founders of 88petsworld Owners & Founders
What do we do at 88petsworld? Why do we do what we do? At 88petsworld, our family has a deep respect and love for all animals that runs through our veins. We want to share our knowledge and experience with fellow animal lovers who have the same values.
Although we love selling our babies to eager families, many of our offspring reside in national and local zoos, countless educational programs, school classrooms, and on Animal Planet and National Geographic.
We strive to run our facility in a sustainable way, for our family and the animals that live here with us. Our lifestyle is 24/7/365, and we are not a fly-by-night operation. We live for our animals, and our family cares for them by hand every day—morning, noon, and night. Our facility is quiet and intimate by design, so we can focus carefully on our resident animals.
Our focus is not on getting the most likes on Social Media posts; we strive to spend most of our time caring for our species.
