Habitat Enrichment

Apr 17, 2025 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM

Music

With Krista

Habitat Enrichment is the concept of introducing novelty to an animal's enclosure to keep it from getting bored or sad. Let me play you something fun. Genres span world and time, just like a cat with a box to play in.

Some specialties you can usually hear a little on my show: Luk Thuong, 60s crooners, cow punk, and synthwave. If you don't like the song currently playing, wait approximately 2 minutes for something else!

plagues

it's the annual plagues show here on habitat enrichment.

good morning

Saw this seconds ago. Timely!

Meyer was darkness and Sunshine was Darkness

(if the eldest doesn't share, then we are all plagued with Toddler Scream)

I got First Born on night one. Yikes!

Hail for Seder two.

Meyer sang the four questions almost perfectly on night two, in Hebrew, I did not sob like last year because now it's old hat but I was still proud

I "won" Had Gadya on night one, flatfooted tie the second evening.

Good Morning!

good morning, Harry

Happy Thursday! Just tuned in, catching up on the chat

it's been pretty dry here today, Bike R, too nice outside to be inside listening to radio I think

Good morning :DD Happy to report a lice free head here as well XDD

yesss congratulations Janka

hi kris!

and yeeaaah on rainy record store saturday, was wearing my new rubber glossy rain boots, blahaha!

hi Ossy, congratulations on the new boots

though they're like seaweed ocean smelly, cause of the pvc material, but still worth trying on, loool

plagues! Do rats count?

walking round downtown princeton and university campus, was adventurous btw, especially the fountain of freedom across the main campus

sure, Robert, we can put those under wild beasts

do you have a rat problem, Robert?

for this show, let me guess the scary, wild, vile, mean, weird, monstrous animal of the day...asian giant hornets 🥶☠️

nope, the animal of the day is adorable today

awww ahh, amiable :)

and btw a few days ago, watched a scary bee documentary of japanese bees forming a attack ball in taking down the evil giant hornet!!!!!!!!!!.

looked also like a real life pokemon beedrill, which the hornet pokemon and its mega evolution are based on

Ohhhh just googled these guys, they are so adorable 😭

yay thank u for the marsupial education !! yay !!

They look tiny! :DDD

Who doesn't want a watertight pouch? So handy

you're welcome, Samantha

https://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Chironectes_minimus/

no, no problem w/rats, thanks for asking. Just some issues w/ them, the wild kind, due to experiences in the field. But speaking of rodents, I'll bet the water possum is neighbors w/ some capybara, the rodents sometimes too harshly referred to as among the least beautiful (to put it euphemistically) animals in the world.

Meanwhile: great show, as usual!

thanks, Robert!

Yup, great show as always! (listening while outside...)

Shortcomings! Ouch!
