Hi there,

Try contacting Pete at the ReptileZone in Bristol. Not sure if he'll be able to offer you any pay but they're usually happy to take on voluntary workers.

They probably have to be careful due to Insurance for minors under 16, and the Health and Safety lot would probably not like it either.

Hessilhead, our local wildlife rescue centre cannot have volunteers under 16 years of age even cleaning empty cages.

I think 14's possibly too young... i'd wait til you get to 16.

The whole health and safety thing varies depending on where you go but you can employ someone from the age of 13(newspaper boy min age). And a shop that allows anyone under the age of 16 in the door should have public liability insurance which covers volunteers as they are not paid. As for paid work you may need to be 16 for them to be covered correctly. I used to volunteer at a stables when I was 13 and got paid weekend work at 16. Horse just as dangerous if not more so than most common reptiles.
