Editors Note: This is our 5th installment of the Hidden Gem's in Wisconsin series covering Wisconsin's Community Zoos located in Baraboo, Chippewa Falls, Green Bay, Kewaunee, Oshkosh, and Marshfield. If you would like to read the earlier parts of this series, please go to issuu.com/petjournalmidwest. Zoo's covered and the edition they appeared in: Part 1 - Manitowoc's Lincoln Park Zoo, October, 2010; Part 2 - Chippewa Fall's Irving Park Zoo December, 2010; Part 3 - Oshkosh's Memominee Park Zoo, July, 2011; and Part 4 - Green Bay's Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary, August, 2011. Look for articles on Kewaunee's Bremmer Park Zoo and Baraboo's Ochner Zoo in future editions of Pet Journal.
It’s time to, once again, continue our coverage on smaller community zoos. Unfortunately, we were forced to discontinue this series of articles due to time constraints which prevented us from adequately covering each zoo. The time required to travel, sometimes quite far, to each zoo became increasingly rare. Though recently, with summer upon us, readers have begun to ask what happened to the series. With so many families looking for inexpensive and fun destinations, many of these small and often free zoos are a perfect choice for a day trip. To this point, we have decided to bring back our series of articles on local community zoos.

BREAKAWAY COLLAR SAFETY KENNEL WITH ROOM TO RUN
by Cheryl Larson, Holistic & Natural Columnist clarson@petjournalmidwest.com Summer is the time year to get out to the dog park, have play dates with friends and family dog friends and possibly a stay at a boarding kennel while the human animals are on vacation. A recent article in Whole Dog Journal reminded me about an extremely important safety concern involving dogs playing together.

If you are like me, I realized the potential for getting a collar caught but didn’t fully realize the life and death situations that could occur. • Keep something sharp handy, know where a scissors or box cutter is and maybe keep one in the car, in case you witness a problem.

PET PRODUCT REVIEWS
BOOK NOOK
by Seth Minaker, Pet Journal Columnist, sminaker@petjournalmidwest.com Finally, it feels like summer is here to stay. In my opinion, right now is the best time of year in Wisconsin. Warm but not hot, pleasantly sunny, and everything is coming to life. Best of all, there are no bugs… YET. Sooner or later this summer, the dreaded mosquitoes, ticks, flies, and a host of other unwanted pests will make their appearance. But even battling the bugs, heat, and sun, we can still enjoy the outstanding outdoor recreation Wisconsin has to offer. So what are we waiting for? Well, maybe we’re waiting until were all prepared for the season. While you are preparing, it’s a good idea to think about your pets, mainly dogs, who will inevitably be running about. So dogs, this article is for you! Below, you’ll find some great products to pack for your next outdoor adventure with your best friend! Bug Repellent: Most pets nowadays are on medications to kill fleas, ticks, and other parasites. However, most do not repel insects, which come as a surprise to many owners. Furthermore, a lot of owners (like me) don’t feel comfortable administering such strong chemicals to our pets. That’s where preventative care comes in. Some owners may try to use regular bug repellent on their pets, but that’s not a good idea. Most bug sprays contain harmful chemicals, and if ingested could be fatal. The formulas are also designed for human skin and may not perform as well on pet hair. That’s where a natural pet-based bug repellent is the ideal solution. I spent quite a while searching online for a good one myself, and the best I've come across is Only Natural® Pet Herbal Defense Insect spray. Herbal Defense is DEET and chemical free, thanks to a special blend

of essential oils providing its repellent properties. Natural and gentle, it can be used on puppies and kittens otherwise too young for other repellents. This product repels a host of insects, not limited to but including fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and biting flies. You can even use it on yourself! 8 oz., $9.99 Pet Sunscreen: Dogs need sunscreen? Surprisingly yes. Dogs (especially those with fair skin) can get sunburned on sensitive areas. A common area is the muzzle, and for sunbathing dogs the tummy and thighs. I never would have believed it before our dog K9, who just last summer experienced minor sunburns on his belly and nose. Cats are less prone to sunburn (even though most spend plenty of time sunbathing) but some still do get it. You may just consider putting a little sunscreen on your pet while applying it to yourself… also like the bug repellent, not a good idea. Surprisingly, human sunscreens contain many chemicals that are not only harmful to pet’s skin, but if licked off and ingested life threatening. The safer, simpler, and easier method is to purchase sunscreen specifically formulated for pets. One of those products is Pet Sunscreen by Doggles®. Silicon-free, and in a handy spray bottle for easy application, it will make applying sunscreen to your pet a breeze. Sunscreen can also prevent bleaching in dark haired pets. There are some more inexpensive brands out there, but this one specifically is said to apply easier, and stay on longer. 2 oz. bottle, $11.99 Water dispenser: This product is essential for any out and active dog. Dogs, as we all know, drink plenty of water. They need it to stay cool and hydrated.
Without an ample supply, dehydration and heatstroke can occur. If you are out on a hike and your dog doesn't have access to clean fresh water, he’ll find his own. Usually, that water is the opposite of what we want him to drink: stale, stagnant, and full of micro-organisms that could make him ill. Having fresh water with you is obviously a must, but figuring out where to store, how to transport, and dispense the water to your dog can be tricky. The Gulpy® water dispenser solves all these problems -- it’s a container to store water, attaches to your belt or in a bottle holder to transport, and has a flip out bowl to dispense. How could it get more convenient? 4 colors, 20 oz., $8.99
The Wonderful Things about Pets Most of us are quick to believe that a dog can do almost any trick or awesome act of bravery. But have you ever heard how a mama bear saved a stray kitten? Do you know of very many cats that do dog tricks? For sure I don’t, but well, this book is loaded with surprises of these and other pets, including dogs of course that are specially gifted in saving in unimaginable ways. Enjoy!
not as quick in finding his food dish as his siblings. Dodger strayed away from his siblings while on a rabbit hunt. Thankfully, he was wearing a radio homing device, but it did not complete the signal enough to locate the little dog because he had wandered into the snowy woods. When the owner retuned the next morning, the radio again indicated the direction needed to find Dodger, but again no luck until miraculously he noticed small paw prints in the snow which lead him to a bear den! Lo and behold, when looking into the den there was little Dodger nursing on mama bear. The story goes on how Dodger was finally rescued, a very touching story.
The book starts out with a story about a shy, small stray beagle named Juggy that appeared in the backyard of Doris and her husband, Robert.

Duane company. Because iguanas do not have furry coats, they are perfect pets for Duane because of his limited breathing – they do not pollute the air. The story tells how the pair became friends and then how it rescued Duane from near death in a very special and surprising way. Many other amazing, wild and/or common house pets are covered in this book... to many to mention here. So, try and find this book if you can, you will be amazed at the stories in it. See you next month!

Moon came to us after a rough start to life. She was raised by a family with many kids. They kept poor Moon outdoors in a hutch with little protection from the elements, no food, rarely giving her water and nutrition. The children often poked at her thru the cage. One day they set her loose and now she is safe with us. Her foster family says that Moon has TONS of potential but she is very reserved. She needs a family that knows all about bunny behavior. Moon would like to shine some light on your life! If you are interested in meeting Moon please contact us today! Come find moon at K&R Small Animal Sancutary, www.krsmallanimalsanctuary.com

This is Phoenix and she really needs our help! She was found as a tiny kitten in the corner of a horse stall all by herself. The wonderful women that found her saved her life. She fed and cared
for this baby that was way too young to be without her mother. Phoenix never would have survived because she was either born or was injured shortly after birth as she only has two (2) front legs. She is now four (4) years old and is in great need of a surgery to become healthy. The volunteers at Saving Paws didn’t think twice about helping Phoenix as she has survived this long and we felt that we owed it to her to help her.

RECORD NUMBER OF BALD EAGLE NESTS FOUND Reprint from Wisconsin Natural Resources Website, dnr.wi.gov Aerial surveys now underway to count Eaglets RHINELANDER -- State biologists take to the skies again this month to count how many young bald eagles hatched this spring, buoyed by April aerial survey results suggesting a record number of occupied nests in a record number of counties.
have affected nesting. The bald eagle has enjoyed a remarkable recovery in Wisconsin and nationwide since being placed on the state and federal endangered species lists in the 1970s. Wisconsin played an important role in that recovery, a story told in a special 2012 web feature on bald eagle recovery.
“We’re really close to having eagles nesting in all Wisconsin counties,” says Jim Woodford, the Department of Natural Resources conservation biologist coordinating the survey this year. “We’re well beyond what we would have thought possible in the state.”
Eagles were removed from Wisconsin's endangered list in 1997 and from the federal list in 2007, although the bird and their nests remain protected under the federal Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. That law prohibits the killing, possession, sale or import of any bald or golden eagle, Earlier this spring, an alive or dead, including eagle nest was document- any part, nest, or egg, uned for the first time in Ra- less allowed by permit. cine County, a homeowner has reported one near the Wisconsin’s aerial surRacine-Kenosha county veys, which started in line, and reports are com- March and run through ing in of adult eagles in June, are part of the naWalworth County. tion’s longest running statewide bald eagle surLast year, new breed- vey.

ZOO continued from page 1 This month we made the trek to the Wildwood Zoo in the city of Marshfield. The parking lot for the zoo seems small and would lead you to believe the zoo may follow suit. Surprisingly, upon entering the zoo grounds you’re greeted with beautifully landscaped displays and habitats that allowed easy viewing of all the animals. We were surprised at how many of the animals seemed to be as interested in us as we were in them. As we approached each display, the animals would often look directly at us allowing many of the pictures accompanying this article.
This area of the zoo is home to many varieties of animals. These include cougar, lynx, prairie dogs, rabbits, fox, many varieties of bird and much more. There is also a large animal area that can be viewed either by car or on foot. The animals here include bison, elk, white - tailed deer, wild turkeys, and timber wolves. All of this on beautifully maintained, serene and relaxing grounds. The zoo also boasts, “Sensory Gardens.” These gardens include a variety of flowering and non-flowering plants which allow visitors to experience the sensations of sight, sound, smell, and touch. Many of these gardens offer seating areas, as well as, small ponds and streams.
Wisconsin’s Resource for ALL Animals The zoo’s history dates back over 100 years. The zoo was established, unofficially, around 1904, when utility workers began to take care of two black bears. Sometime later, in 1910, before a zookeeper was hired, responsibility for the care of the animals fell to the Mayor. In 1923, the area acquired the name Wildwood Park, but it wasn’t until July 27th, 1930 that the zoo was officially dedicated. Since its humble beginnings, the zoo has grown to over 60 acres and, much to the Mayor’s relief, now has a zookeeper. The zoo has also seen a change in the type of animals it has housed. In the beginning, the zoo once housed many exotic animals from around
the world. After a time, the city of Marshfield decided to house only animals found in North America. This has been a trend shared by many of the community zoos in Wisconsin. This shift also allowed animals to be shown year round. Our famous Wisconsin winters prevented many exotic animals from being shown due to the extreme cold that so many indigenous animals have acclimated to. The zoo is planning number of new exhibits, most notably, a new bear exhibit. The bear exhibit has been closed since the passing of the zoo’s beloved grizzly bear, Ms. Grizz. She passed away on September 21, 2011 at the age of 40. This is quite remarkable since grizzlies

JUNE 2013 only live an average of 25 years. A memorial display can be found close to her longtime home at the zoo. The zoo is gratefully accepting donations for the bear exhibit and many other projects at the zoo. Like many community zoos, there is no charge to enter, but donations are greatly appreciated. These donations are used solely to maintain the zoo and the animals you enjoy seeing when you visit. This month the zoo will be hosting a number of fun special events. On June 15th, there will be Zoofest. A fun filled event featuring food, games, a petting zoo, entertainment with David Stokes, and much more. Zoofest runs from 10am to 2pm.

A $5 donation is suggested. That evening the zoo will be hosting, “Camping with the Critters.” This is an overnight event which will include entertainment with David Stokes, fish races, a campfire, and much more. June 19th is Wild Wednesday at the zoo. This is the first in a series of educational programs that will occur on Wednesdays throughout the summer.

BEARDED DRAGON HISTORY, HUSBANDRY, AND MEDICAL CONCERNS
SPAY/NEUTER TATTOOS
by Dr. Michael Wenninger, Pet Journal Contributor Bearded dragons inhabit semi-arid to arid regions of Australia. Temperature extremes are commonplace in their natural environment and bearded dragons, like other animals in this environment, seek out micro-habitats that are suitable. Bearded dragons are omnivores. In nature they feed on anything they can catch and overpower and many plants. They are naturally solitary animals except at breeding times. Bearded dragons are relatively new to the pet industry as export from Australia is difficult. Bearded dragons are among the best reptilian pets. In captivity, their needs mimic those of their natural environment. They require relatively large enclosures (40 gallon breeder aquarium or larger) and a lot of ground space with several basking/climbing areas. They also require a daytime “hot spot” near 100 degrees and a cooler area in the 80's. Being desert animals, they require high levels of UVA and UVB irradiation. I recommend using a mercury vapor bulb as they provide high levels of UVB irradiation and also supply a heat source thereby encouraging basking under the area where most beneficial UVB rays are focused. Other options for lighting include the use of a UVA/basking bulb and a fluorescent UVB emitting light. Fluorescent lights will continue to emit visible light beyond when
they stop producing UVB rays so it is important to change out bulbs every 6 months. An omnivore diet should be provided in captivity. Using a variety of insects including crickets, mealworms/superworms, roaches, phoenix worms and silkworms, and occasional pinkie mice along with calcium and vitamin supplementation should be adequate to provide the carnivore part of the diet. The herbivore aspect of the diet can be provided with dark greens such as collard, dandelion, and romaine lettuce admixed with a small amount of fruits and vegetables. Younger lizards often prefer insects but salad should be offered every day as well. As beardies grow they often transition more to the mixed diet. Calcium supplementation including vitamin D3 should be used when they are not allowed access to natural sunlight. The necessary frequency of supplementation varies with age and diet. Vitamin supplementation with a supplement containing pre-formed Vitamin A such as Reptivite should also be used weekly in most situations but some animals may require more or less depending on diet, age, and condition.
It is important to have an initial examination by a veterinarian experienced with reptiles and then followup whenever changes arise. Reptiles in general often hide symptoms until disease processes are fairly progressed. Examination, fecal examination for parasites, bloodwork, PCR testing for adenovirus, and other tests may be recommended depending on the health of the lizard. Common medical problems are most often attributed to deficiencies in husbandry but parasitic, infectious (viral, bacterial, fungal), toxic, neoplastic, endocrine, and other diseases are recognized in beardies. Symptoms of illness include difficulty breathing, anorexia, diarrhea, regurgitation, weight loss, lethargy, weakness, lumps, bumps, eye discharge, or other less common changes. Many illnesses found in bearded dragons are treatable or preventable with routine veterinary care.

by Dr. Kim Everson, Ask the Vet Columnist ask-the-vet@petjournalmidwest.com Question: We just adopted a retired puppy mill breeding dog and noticed a strange green mark on her belly. We are almost afraid to hear the answer, but what could they have done to her that caused such a mark? Answer: Congratulations on your new family member! And thank you for rescuing an adult dog in need of a forever home. Undoubtedly your new pet lived through unthinkable neglect and hardship as a puppy mill breeding dog. The good news is that green mark on her belly is most assuredly a symbol of her liberation! Many veterinarians now place a tattoo on shelter, rescue or even pet dogs and cats to show they have been spayed or neutered.
This is termed cryptorchidism, and is a condition that makes neutering very important to prevent development of testicular cancer. The appearance of spay and neuter tattoos varies greatly depending on the application technique, but the result is some sort of blue-green permanent mark on the belly near the surgical site. I have seen “X-es”, identification numbers, and straight lines of various sizes. I have seen tattoos that scream out to be noticed and others that require careful examination to be seen. Another technique for identifying cats that have been spayed or neutered is ear notching or ear tipping. This is usually performed on feral or freeroaming cats as part of “TNR” or “Trap, Neuter, Release” programs. While the cat is still anesthetized, a V-shaped notch is removed from the top of one ear. Alternatively, the top pointy part of one ear may be cut off to leave a flat edge. This technique allows a concerned citizen to identify from a distance which cats have already been fixed. The benefit of “TNR” programs is that sterilized free-roaming cats help prevent new (unsterilized) cats from moving into a neighborhood, thus controlling over-population. For this purpose, “TNR” marked cats should not be trapped or brought to an animal shelter unless they are sick.
Having an external permanent marking to show which animals have been already been “fixed” not only saves time and money in the effort to prepare animals for their new homes, but also spares the animals an unnecessary surgery. Such a designation is most helpful in later identifying sterilized female animals because you cannot tell at a glance whether females still have their reproductive organs. On the contrary, visual or manual examination of a male dog or cat quickly reveals the presence or absence of testicles. The rare exception is a male dog or cat whose testicles did not descend into the scrotal sac but are reYet another way to tained in the abdomen. identify whether a dog
or cat has been spayed or neutered is by its microchip. A microchip is a tiny unique serial number implanted under the skin of many animals to help reunite them with their family if they become lost or stolen. The presence of a microchip does not guarantee a pet has been spayed, but it increases the likelihood that someone once made a surgical investment in the animal. Moreover, the microchip database indicates the sterilization status of the animal as well as the registered owner. Once in a great while physical examination of a stray animal will reveal noticeable scar tissue at the sterilization site on the belly, but this is not a common finding. Tattooing, ear notching and microchip registration all serve the same purpose – to save an animal from experiencing unnecessary future abdominal surgery. I suspect that as more and more animals are adopted from puppy mills, local shelters and nationwide rescue organizations, green belly mark tattoos will become all the rage!

DOSE THAT ANIMAL HAVE A NAME?
GETTING READY FOR EGGS!
by Angela Kawski, Education and Volunteer Coordinator, NEW Zoo We regularly get asked if there is someplace a zoo visitor can go to find a list of all our zoo animals’ names. Although this is a very common request, it is not the NEW Zoo’s policy to post animal names. There are a few different reasons for this… Firstly, we feel it is important that all of the zoo’s animals are representatives of their species. Every animal here is an ambassador for all its wild relatives. We want zoo guests to learn about and get to know the species in our collection, without focusing on any single individual. The truth is, of course, that no individual animal can live forever, and there is some concern that if guests become too focused on a single individual animal’s story, they may not take the opportunity to learn more about the story of the species as a whole. Since many of our animals are threatened or endangered species, we believe it’s extremely important for people to learn about each species and its natural history. That helps people to connect to the animals on a greater level, and to feel empathy for ALL individuals of the species – which in turns helps us to be true to our conservation goals. The second part of this has to do with how truly fluid a zoo’s collection can be. As an AZA-Accredited facility, we must follow the guidelines and recommendations that the AZA makes to us when it comes to the placement
of individuals in our collection. At any time, a Species Survival Plan may recommend that one of our animals go to live at a different zoo, for breeding purposes, for example. Or they may recommend that a new individual be added to our collection. We have to “keep up” with these recommendations and follow them as quickly and as efficiently as we can, for the benefit of these captive animals and their populations. Additionally, animals regularly pass away from old age or other natural causes, and whenever feasible, new individuals may be brought in to take their place. These changes to the animal collection happen often; if we were to “advertise” a list of every individual animal in our collection, it would be nearly impossible -- a very time-consuming task -- to keep the list up-to-date for public viewing. We simply don’t have the “man power” to keep up with such a list, considering there are over 200 individuals in the NEW Zoo’s collection.
If you are interested in learning more about the NEW Zoo’s education programs, like our upcoming Summer Zoo Camp programs, please contact our Education Coordinator at 920-662-2405 or at volunteer@newzoo.org.

Summer is just around the corner and your spring chicks are approaching puberty, which means you can anticipate the arrival of eggs soon! Assuming they’ve enjoyed good food and care, the young hens, called pullets, begin laying sometime between their 16th and 24th week of age.
If your pullets are over 16 weeks of age, now is the time to switch them to a layer feed, as laying hens need special nutrition. Producing eggs places great nutritional strain on a hen’s body. Just think of the calcium she is giving up each time she lays an egg! Look for a layer feed that has the minerals, vitamins, protein and other nutrients needed to help keep your birds healthy and productive. Now would also be a good time to supplement calcium by putting oyster shell out or sprinkling it on the coop floor for hens to discover and eat.
Discovering a hen’s first egg from your own hand-raised chicks is a thrill. Pullet eggs are tiny and look like gems in the nest. Although the first eggs your birds lay may be small, irregularly shaped and/or inconsistent, don’t panic! The eggs should Are your pullets ready norm out over time in size to lay eggs?

“June is the traditional time to celebrate Wisconsin’s vibrant dairy industry,” said Dave Bavlnka, vice president of Advertising at WMMB. “There’s something for everyone to enjoy -- from dairy breakfasts to special community celebrations. The online events calendar makes finding the perfect events for you quick and easy.” Wisconsinites can look forward to a month filled with unique dairy-themed festivals such as Sparta
Butter Fest and Cows on the Concourse in Madison, along with sampling opportunities, special menus and deals at participating restaurants and retailers. The complete listing is available at www. DairyDaysOfSummer.com/ events. The popular dairy farm breakfast locator map is also featured on the site, searchable by date or location. More than 60 farms across Wisconsin will welcome the public to their breakfast tables during the month of June. In addition, the site offers a collection of more than 40 dairy-friendly recipes, ranging from breakfast and appetizers to dinner and desserts. Among the new June Dairy Month options are Pear Brunch Cake, Cottage Cheese Tart, Quadruple Chocolate Ice Box Cake, Mascarpone Lemon Ice Box Parfait and Coffee and Caramel Shake.
The Quadruple Chocolate Ice Box Cake recipe is included below. For additional recipes and photos, contact Jon Whitely at jwhitely@stephanbrady. com or call (608) 2414141.

• Chickens will be between 16-24 weeks old • Pullets look full grown with clean, new feathers • Combs and wattles have swollen and are a deep red color • Bones in the hen’s pelvis will begin to separate. To check if the hen’s pelvis bones have begun to separate, cradle the hen between your side and arm with the hen facing your back so you see its rear end. Carefully hold the bird’s feet so it can’t kick. Place your other hand gently on the hen’s rear end. If three prominent bones are close together, don’t expect eggs for a few more weeks, but if the bones have separated, expect eggs soon! Pullets like to lay eggs in privacy, and it’s important to have nest boxes in place before the first egg arrives. These can be purchased or made of lumber and should be approximately 10-12 inches square and about 18-inches deep. Install one nest box for every two to three hens and place them from one to three feet above the floor. Line the nests with straw, dried grass, wood chips or even shredded paper to help keep the eggs clean. In no time at all, you’ll have an abundance of eggs -- right from your own backyard!

wins more awards than any other state or nation. • The average American eats more than 33 ½ pounds of cheese each year -- more than double the amount eaten in 1975 -- and will consume about one ton of cheese during a lifetime! Per capita cheese consumption is projected to grow more than 36 ½ pounds by the year 2021. • With 33 ½ pounds per capita consumption, the United States ranks far behind many European countries for per capita consumption of cheese. Greece ranks 1st with 72 pounds per capita and France is 2nd with 53 pounds per capita. • The first ice cream sundae was served in Two Rivers, Wis. in 1881. George Hallauer, a customer at Edward C. Berner’s soda fountain in Two Rivers, asked Edward to top off his dish of ice cream with the chocolate sauce used
for chocolate sodas. The new concoction caught on and was originally offered only on Sundays. • The average American consumes about 18 pounds of ice cream each year. If all the ice cream eaten in the U.S. annually were put into cones and stacked on top of each other, the stack would be tall enough to reach to the moon and back. • According to the NPD Group’s National Eating Trends In-Home Database, the top five ice cream flavors are vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, cookies n’ cream and chocolate chip.
