Summer Visiting Animal Program: Volunteers Needed!

Summer Visiting Animal Program

The Burlington Science Center is looking for homes for some of its animals over Summer vacation.

--Gerbils (easy-low care)

--Box turtles (eats salad and live insects)

--Gecko (eats live insects-shedding issues to be concerned with)

--African Clawed Frogs (eats hand fed worms)

--Tarantula (eats live crickets)

--Salamanders (must be hand fed crickets with hand or

tweezers)

--Possibly cockatiels (messy; high care; needs to be a

teflon/non-stick cookware, scented candles, sensitive chemical

free house)

Still waiting back to hear from people so there is a wait list for these animals:

• Hamster (easy-nocturnal)
• Guinea Pig (large cage and lots of supplies-high care animal; one is elderly)
• corn snake (eats mice--needs to be kept in freezer)

--The Science Center will provide cage, STARTER food,

shavings, and care sheet for each animal.

--Call Ms. Pavlicek (781)-270-2928 or e-mail

pavlicek@bpsk12.org asap if interested.  

--Animals are distributed on a first come, first serve

basis.  

--All animals must be picked up by June 14th making an appointment with Ms. Pavlicek. Thank you.
