Host Gail Buhl is back for Part 2 of the in-depth discussion she had with Deb Galle this past fall about Cottontail Rabbits. Here in Part 2, Deb gets into more of the specifics about how she cares for rabbits after assessment and intake. Those include formulas and food, housing, avoiding imprinting, controlling the environment and one's approach to managing animals' stress, general husbandry, and the lead up to release. Cottontail Rabbits also make an appearance in Season 1, Episode 14, in which Gail spoke with another expert -- Laura Davich of Rabbit Rebound. Having different experts' perspectives, Gail says, is key because Cottontail Rabbits are such a common species in need of rehabilitation, thus, they are always a big hot topic in the field. You will see a lot of overlap too between Deb and Laura— those, Gail says, are some of the sweet spots to pay attention to–especially the WHY behind every how & every what.Next episode, Gail welcomes back another familiar face, Tim Jasinski. Back in Season 1, Episode 19, he was on the podcast to talk about Timberdoodles. This season he joins Gail to discuss all things fostering Canada Geese. He talks about why the Canada Goose is his favorite bird, gives an overview of the species’ natural history, and much more! We hope you’ll join us for episodes 5 and 6 for this deep dive into the fostering the Canada Goose. Special thanks to Partners For Wildlife and The Raptor Center at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine.
