Staff and residents at a care home in Chinnor have enjoyed a visit from a range of animals including a bearded dragon and a tortoise.
Hempton Field care home welcomed a contingent from Lucia's Tiny Farm featuring Guinea Pigs and rabbits.
Both staff and residents had the opportunity to cuddle the softer and friendlier creatures.
The home welcomed Pepper the tortoise, Rosy and Joey the rabbits and lots of Guinea pigs including Adele, Lola and Baby Lou at only eight weeks old.
There was also the chance to meet Bernard, the bearded dragon, and some rats.
One standout guest was Maggie the chicken who freely wandered the home's courtyard and interiors.
Jocelyn Walang, general manager said: "It has been a very special day for all ages, it has been wonderful to see so many of the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of our residents as well as the community coming together to enjoy the farm visit.
"I wouldn’t have imagined we would have so many different animals in the home."
The visit falls under Hempton Field's life enrichment programme which aims to keep residents active with daily physical, mental, and spiritual activities targeted at their interests.
Hempton Field, managed by Barchester Healthcare, specialises in nursing, residential, and respite care.
