🐸 THE FIRST-EVER EXHIBITION OF POISON DART FROGS (HALL 1)
Attention, this is a premiere! Let yourself be transported to the heart of the wild jungle. From 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM in HALL 1, we are hosting the first-ever exhibition of poison dart frogs outside of zoo gates.
You will see over 200 frogs in many color variants—representatives of the genera Dendrobates, Phyllobates, Ranitomeya, and the rare Oophaga. From 12:00 PM, you can attend an exclusive lecture. Several leading Czech breeders have accepted the invitation, meeting publicly in this group for the very first time! They will reveal the secrets of poison dart frogs’ lives in the wild and in captivity.
ATTENTION: Registration is required to attend the lecture!

🦀 EXOTIC MINI CRABS
Do you know why dwarf crabs of the genus Geosesarma are called “vampires”? Or how the panther crab got its name? Come see for yourself!
In addition to crabs, beautiful ornamental goldfish, colorful bettas (Betta splendens), and other aquarium fish await you.
All exhibited animals and plants can be purchased directly on-site!

Exotic animals, unique plants, and everything for breeders
On more than 750 tables, you will discover over 20,000 rare animal specimens, whose diversity surpasses even zoos, along with more than 5,000 plants, a wide range of breeder supplies, and products from seven terrarium manufacturers.
Experts in the field in one place
Among the vendors, you will find true experts with years of experience who are happy to share their knowledge and practical advice. Whether you are looking for specialists in specific animal species, experts in rare plants, manufacturers of breeding equipment, or experts in high-quality feed – including organic, live, frozen, and pelletized – you can always rely on their professional approach.
Professional veterinary counseling
An experienced veterinarian with a fully equipped mobile clinic is available at every event. He will gladly answer all your questions regarding your pet’s health and care and provide a free health check-up. Our priority is to offer all customers services that ensure the best possible care for their animals.
The best prices
At the fair, you can purchase everything at great prices because you are buying directly from breeders, growers, and manufacturers. By cutting out the middlemen, you save money while supporting those directly involved in animal care, plant cultivation, or the production of breeding equipment. Affordable prices and a personal approach are the main reasons why visitors love coming back.
