About Us

All our timber comes from recycled sources or FSC sustainable forests. The FSC product label allows consumers worldwide to recognise products that support the growth of responsible forest management worldwide. Environmentally appropriate forest management ensures that the harvest of timber and non-timber products maintains the forest’s biodiversity, productivity and ecological processes.

All the glass used in our vivariums is toughened to BS- EN-12150 kite marked standards. This means that it has up to 5 times its original strength and, if broken, the glass breaks into small, blunt fragments. Normal plate glass breaks into long sharp shards when damaged. As the glass is used for the sliding doors it is crucial that only safety glass is used to prevent serious injury. We aim to conform to BS 14072- 2003 for glass used with furniture.

All VIVA vivariums now include an innovative ventilation system incorporated into the top and bottom aluminium door rails. This effective system provides a constant airflow throughout the vivarium.

Rear vents are added to arboreal and stacking vivariums to provide optimum temperature and humidity levels. Each vent contains a plentiful number of holes which are big enough to allow air to flow through, but small enough to prevent live food from escaping.
