UPDATE: Help Us Name a Bear Cub!

In the photo, you’ll see Harry, one of our cubs, on the right, but the bear on the left

still needs a name! We’d love for you to suggest a name for him on Instagram or Facebook. There’s no name theme this year, so feel free to get creative! 


At Critter Care, we are currently caring for seven black bear cubs, who will stay with us until their release next spring. These cubs are housed in two different enclosures based on their size when they arrived. Our facility includes four large bear enclosures with outdoor gravel areas, covered sections, and warm sheds for the bears to sleep in.

Last year, we had 18 cubs in our care, making for a lot of cleaning! Right now, the cubs are busy eating to build up fat reserves to keep them warm during winter, as they prepare for torpor.
