59: Box Turtles

59: Box Turtles

By |

We’re back! It’s Episode 59 and after our unplanned hiatus, we are so excited to be back and better than ever with an entertaining and fact-filled episode all about box turtles! We talk about the basics of what makes a box turtle a box turtle, where their from, how they breed, what dangers they face in their native environments, and how to responsibly acquire and care for one as a pet. Please note, this episode is not intended to be a full care guide especially because care varies between different species of box turtles. We’re working on a care sheet for our website, but in the meantime let this episode serve as a way to dip your toes in the water!

Also! We can’t believe we didn’t have the full turtle vs. tortoise vs. terrapin discussion. But don’t worry! That will be a topic across our social media channels over the next few weeks.

Honestly Episode 58 is really a dream for us, though we know that you’ll enjoy it too! For this episode we interview Bunny Rosenberg, the Director of Community Engagement at Muttville Senior Dog Rescue. Plus we’re joined by two special guests: Lucy and Ethel the senior chihuahuas. We’ve talked about rescue dogs before, but senior dogs are particularly at risk in shelters across the country. Bunny tells us about the best and worst parts of working with dogs nearing their sunset age and we fangirl about some of the cutest dogs ever. It’s an extra long episode, but every moment is filled with senior dog love!

47: “Pit bulls”

By |

Hello CritterCast listeners! We’re back and we’re sorry for the little delay in getting this episode out to you. Thanksgiving and family time just didn’t lend to recording, and we never remember to record ahead. But we’re making it up to you with this extra long and extra special episode all about “Pitbulls” (aka any blocky-headed dog falling under several different possible breeds and mixes). What’s up with them? Do we like them? (spoiler: yes we do) Should we believe the myths about them? And who are some of our favorites?

We feature great talking points from Animal Farm Foundation, BADRAP Rescue, and Your Pitbull and You. Plus our “Feature an Adoptable Pet” segment is back with some updates and we’ve got a promo from the Woof Life Show. Don’t miss this episode.

39: Guinea Pigs (Cavies)

By |

Episode 39 is live! Sorry for the short delay in getting this episode out, but we promise it’s worth it!! This episode we’re talking about adorable little rodents known as Guinea Pigs. Their name is a complete and total misnomer, since they’re not from Guinea and they’re definitely not related to pigs at all. But they ARE absolutely adorable little superheroes, in many ways. Some of our facts are gross, some a little sad, but all of them are wacky, weird, and wonderful!
