Discover Blackpool’s Unique Animal Sanctuary: Meet Monkeys, Skunks & More 🐾

Lucinda Herbert takes a look inside Hugo's Small Animal Sanctuary - where she meets monkeys, skunks and a porcupine.

Bailey Lister opened his small rescue shelter after he rescued a rat by hiding him in his school bag as a teenager - and now takes in everything from tarantulas, snakes and skunks - to cats and guinea pigs.

But he warns that many of the more exotic animals don't make good pets, and that he's seen a rise in people taking on unusual breeds that they've seen on Tik-Tok without doing their research.
