Cotton mice (Peromyscus gossypinus, n=6) were captured on St. Catherines Island, Georgia, and analyzed for water, ash, protein, and fat content (proximate constituents), as well as minerals […]
Whole-body nutrient composition of various ages of captive-bred bearded dragons (Pogona vitteceps) and adult wild anoles (Anolis carolinensis)
Abstract 10.1002/zoo.10055.abs Neonates, 11-day-old, and 17-day-old captive-bred bearded dragons (Pogona vitteceps) and wild-caught adult anoles (Anolis carolinensis) were chemically analyzed to determine the whole-body concentrations of vitamins E and A, crude protein, and minerals. Significant differences (P
