Dragonstone Ranch — Local services in Gatesville

Our family recently adopted three sugar glider girls from Dragonstone Ranch. We are first time sugar glider owners. From the minute I reached out to Dragonstone, I immediately felt welcomed and assured that the staff I was communicating with were professionals, very knowledgeable, and care deeply for the well-being of their animals. We live many states away, and while it took a about a month for our girls to be delivered, Dragonstone was very responsive to all my questions and kept me up-to-date during the process. We received our baby girls 3 days ago and were super impressed with our gliders' temperaments and health! They took quite the journey to get to us, and I was expecting them to need at least a week of gentleness and slow bonding techniques. To our surprise and excitement, they were very curious to meet us and interact with us. It was clear they were loved by humans at Dragonstone! On day three, they are not crabbing at all and jumping into our bonding pouches. We even felt comfortable last night given their interest in us and temperaments to play with them openly in our glider tent. It was so much fun for all!!! We are so in love with our gliders. Thank you so much Dragonstone for all your help! I am confident Dragonstone will always be here for any care needs we need for our gliders in the future as well. I highly recommend...

Review of DragonStone Ranch

As a veterinarian with over 40 years of experience working with dogs, cats, and exotic animals in zoos, I’ve had the privilege of visiting numerous private and municipal zoos across the country. Recently, I had the pleasure of touring DragonStone Ranch, located just north of Austin, and I can confidently say it is the most impressive facility I have encountered.

The animals at DragonStone Ranch are in impeccable condition, clearly benefiting from the highest standards of care. The enclosures are not only spacious but thoughtfully designed with abundant enrichment to ensure the animals' physical and mental well-being. A thorough review of their husbandry practices reveals a level of dedication and expertise that is unparalleled in the field.

The owners, Mimi and Monty Roach, have set a new benchmark for excellence in exotic animal ownership. Their commitment to the welfare of their animals and the quality of their facility is evident in every aspect of DragonStone Ranch. I give this establishment my highest recommendation and consider it a model for both private and public zoos.

DragonStone Ranch has truly raised the bar in exotic animal care and management, and I encourage anyone interested in wildlife and conservation to visit this...

If you are looking for a fennec fox or any of their other animals, This is the best place to adopt.. seriously. I’m just SO happy with them.. when i went to see the foxes for the first time I could instantly tell how well they take care of them.

They are amazing with being held, like you would think it’s a puppy.. Mine almost prefers being held! And they right away do very well with potty training. He knows where to go and usually always tells me when he needs to go.

they treat all of their animals with the love and training they need, since they are born. and it really, really shows. My fennec fox loves people and is very well behaved. Well, for a fox at least😅

I genuinely don’t think I could’ve found a better place to adopt a fox.. so unbelievably happy.. If you’re wanting one, Schedule an appointment to see them and you will know right away what I mean. You won’t regret it. It’s worth the drive and worth the money. They are very fun and adorable animals. And these people actually care how their animals are raised. overall absolutely Fantastic experience.. Couldn’t recommended...
