Keeper Chat

Time for more advice! For whatever reason, you guys keep asking for our advice when in actuality, we're just little slug women doing our best. TLDL: We love our volunteers and you should too, end of story. Also, name your animals, because why the heck not?   This week, we discuss: - Our experiences with volunteers, our thoughts on their role in the zoo, and advice on how not to be a dirtbag to the people donating their time to help out the zoo - The pros vs cons of naming zoo animals and sharing those names with the public - is it an effective means of making personal connections or does it encourage exotic pet ownership?
