Wildlife HQ, formerly known as Queensland Zoo, at the Big Pineapple, is set to expand its breeding program.

The expansion follows news that Wildlife HQ has become a Zoo and Aquarium Association animal welfare accredited facility.

Chief executive officer Jarrod Schenk said the accreditation allowed the Wildlife HQ to join breeding programs with other zoos.

The zoo has already been successfully breeding its existing animals.

Cotton-top tamarin twins were born on Thursday to parents Conchetta and Manny.

Conchetta and Manny were paired after Conchetta's previous mate was killed in a break-in at the zoo when it operated as Alma Park on Brisbane's northern outskirts.

Conchetta was found eight months later in Victoria after being sold online and handed into a zoo.

Mr Schenk said the cotton-top family was now big enough that the zoo would look at sending some to other zoos to participate in breeding programs.

"Cotton-tops are the most endangered primates left in the world - there's only 5000 left in Colombia," he said.

Mr Schenk said the zoo had been involved in breeding programs to date involving Tasmanian devils, the cotton-top tamarins, and koalas.

However, full ZAA accreditation meant it could now import more animals and further its involvement in breeding programs.

"Now we're accredited, we can work with the likes of other zoos throughout Australia and New Zealand and work together on breeding endangered species," he said.

"It just means that where we were limited to the number of species we have here, the limits are now no more."

Mr Schenk said the zoo had spent the last year or two concentrating on its move to the Sunshine Coast and consolidating but was now ready for the future.

"It means we can expand at a great rate now."

Mr Schenk said the zoo was particularly keen to boost its population of quokkas, the tiniest wallaby in existence.

So far, it has only one, Tommy, who although extremely popular with visitors, would enjoy the company of more of his own kind.

"He's going to get some friends and he's getting a beautiful big new grassed enclosure that they are going to go in. It's very exciting," Mr Schenk said.
