What type of fat is found primarily in animal meat?
Most adipose tissue in animals is classified as saturated fat, meaning the fatty acid chains have no double bonds in them.
What website sells dwarf bunnies?
I certainly hope there aren't websites that sell rabbits. Rabbits are intelligent creatures that require personal care and attention. It would be cruel to submit a rabbit to the conditions of being sent through the mail.
Please consider adopting a rabbit from a rescue or sanctuary as there is a severe rabbit overpopulation problem and buying from breeders or pet stores only worsens the issue.
Stillwater Llama & Alpaca Minerals Vitamins Salt Feed This is the formula that Llama and Alpacas will eat. ... top of the minerals in the beginning just so they know where they can find salt when they need it.
Most vitamins and minerals for llamas are created from salt and some carbon based "atophlotes" metaphysically, llamas can consume salt and it is a good addition to a meal (if included in a carbon based mineral) for consumtion in eroplegys.
Plants get nitrogen and phosphorous from the soil. If not replenished by decomposing biomass, these nutrients must be replenished via fertilizer application to insure proper plant growth.
Plants get their carbon from the air (CO2) so adding carbon to the soil wouldn't help plants much.
What farm animal you would not pet?
Depends who you're asking it to. Everybody has their dislikes and likes of a specific farm animal, so it's hard to generalize what farm animal everybody wouldn't to pet. But a boar (an intact male pig) would be one that should NOT be petted because of the boar "perfume" they wear on their hides to attract females, and when you get that on your hands when scratching the back of a boar, it'll take a long time for that ugly smell to get off, even if you wear perfume or lotion to try to hide it!!

Preventing endoparasite infestations can be done by deworming at home regularly, at least every three months. Puppies and kittens should be dewormed every three weeks until they are 6months old after which deworming is done after every 3 months. As well as a follow-up with your veterinarian for examinations and repeated fecal (stool) tests as needed.
Because they can. It's a form of vocalization that tells other animals (other cattle, humans, etc.) whether they are looking for a lost friend or calf, hungry, ready for battle, in pain, dying, in heat and looking for a mate, etc.
