Critters & Conservation Website Home
Critters & Conservation is a licensed and insured provider of hands-on animal education for all ages. What better way to learn about fascinating creatures we share this planet with than up close and personal?
Our central focus is on making education fun. Our presentations cover animal behavior, basic biology, food chains, native environments, and the importance of biodiversity and conservation. Some of our animals can be pet or held during presentations. We also speak Spanish. También, hablamos español.
Critters & Conservation's goal is to help young people grow up to respect all animals and their important jobs within different ecosystems.
For a laugh, you can see Melissa's YouTube video she made for a "Crazy Cleaning Confessions" contest. It will give you a glimpse of how hectic it can be to care for all these animals.
About Bringing new pets into your home.... It is extremely important to research any decision about a new pet. Learn about the animal's diet, necessary mineral or vitamin supplements, life span in captivity, adult size, potential health problems and associated vet bills, habitat requirements including temperature, dimensions, humidity, and accessories, such as hides, toys, perches, water bowls, rocks, etc. Other things to consider are whether this particular companion animal enjoys being handled, how the pet may get along with other members of the household (including other pets), and how much time proper care requires.
We encourage adoption over purchase. Almost every pet imaginable is available through refuges and rescues (see our rescue links); and there are so many needing homes. If you must purchase an animal, please be sure to contact a reputable breeder with a known track record. Do not support the sale of animals at pet stores - going straight to a breeder is not only cheaper, but good breeders also offer health guarantees, supply lineage information, provide customer service, and can give references. Please, never take an animal from the wild. We ask that you honor and respect all animals in their native habitats.
