Welcome to Small Animal Management! If you ever have a question or need additional clarification on anything, please feel free to contact me.
Each day, we have a animal of the day at the beginning of class. Students are encouraged to write details about each specimen in a packet that will be given to them and they are tested each three weeks over the plants and flowers we cover during that time period.
