Speaking to Edinburgh Live, restaurant manager Steve Duggan said: "We are really looking forward to having everyone join us for a day of fun with the animals and families who have booked already.
"It has been a hit from the off, we've only got a few spaces left, so I'll probably need to organise another visit just to make sure everyone interested gets a chance.
"The company is run by a guy called Luke, and he's hosted animal experiences in our Motherwell restaurant site already, and it went really well.
"We wanted to have the baby Highland Cow to come visit, but logistically it doesn't work out, so we can hope for next time!
"Everyone here is really excited to meet the animals, and it'll be a positive experience for both businesses as well, so it's a win-win."
On the Crazy Critters website, it reads: "Here at Crazy Critters Experience we strive not only make animals happy, but people too!
"We have a wide range of exotic animals which all go through a lengthy settling period to establish they are up for the job of giving you a day to remember!
