"ANIMAL CRIBS" RETURNS TO ANIMAL PLANET FOR A SECOND SEASON ON MARCH 1st at 9 PM ET/PT

ANIMAL CRIBS returns for an all-new season, featuring designer and animal enthusiast Antonio Ballatore, winner of HGTV's Design Star and lead on HGTV's The Antonio Treatment. The California-based designer is on a mission - one that will allow families and their animals to live together in harmony. Season two of ANIMAL CRIBS premieres Friday, March 1st at 9 PM ET/PT.

Antonio, his team of experts and his sidekick rescue dog Edie, take transformations to a whole new level by turning dull, cramped homes and yards into awe inspiring spaces for both pets and their families. The goal? To improve the lives of pets and the people who love them. In an effort to deliver the best possible result, Antonio visits animal experts, trainers, and rescue centers to learn what all kinds of pets, from bunnies to bearded dragons, need to live healthier, happier lives. Each creation is inspired by Antonio's love for animals, and his eye for design.

Growing up with dogs, goats, rabbits and even ducks, Antonio is right at home this season when he converts a basement into the ultimate chinchilla habitat; completes a front yard facelift for Mr. Pickles, the pot-bellied pig; designs a huge indoor basement jungle for a firefighter's 20-foot python; and gives back to a farm rescue with designs to enrich the lives of goats, sheep, llamas, cows, emus, and pigs.

The first season of ANIMAL CRIBS can be watched in its entirety by audiences in the US on the Animal Planet Go app.

ANIMAL CRIBS is produced for Animal Planet by Flight or Flight Studios where Rob Hill and Dave Greider are executive producers. For Animal Planet, Lisa Lucas is the executive producer with Patrick Keegan as producer.
