If you eat pineapple on your pizza, this plea is definitely not for you.
My local feed store has weevils. Like, really bad. Every bag has some sort of weevil in it, inside the bag or on the outside for sure. I bought a bag of rye grass this week and lifted it out of my truck to find a couple hundred weevils on the bed liner of my truck.

she is weak. Drinking Pooping and eating though. Sleeping in my arms for two hours but still weak.
