Our Animal Area

Here at the Japanese Koi Company, we try to be more than just a pet shop. With many years of experience, we really know our animals.


We have built a new and exciting area occupied with a few select animals from around the world. This blog will show the birth of the project and introduce you to a few of the animals we love. Through pictures , text, videos and who knows maybe even a webcam this blog will involve you in their day to day lives.

Massive hopper

This is the worlds second largest grasshopper in the world, with the biggest only being a cm bigger. It was bought into the shop by a very good friend of mine Mr Ian Pitts, who is breeding these giants. The eggs take a year to hatch so extreme patience is needed when breeding them. They feed on bramble so are easy to keep but need a spacious accomodation.
Thank you ian for bringing them into to show the staff.
