Edible insect factory

WITH the new ‘I’m a Celebrity’ South Africa spin ­ off soon to air we are already envisioning the famous line ­ up munching on insects. If watching gives you a craving for one of these tasty morsels then look no further as Spain has opened the largest edible insect factory!

Usually, these edible insects are purchased to feed livestock or our pet lizards and other pets of this ilk, but recently more and more people are turning to these high ­ protein snacks. They are being promoted as a superfood and those seeking a more sustainable and healthy source of protein are choosing these little critters for lunch.

The company Tebrio created this produce as feed for livestock as a bioconversion tool to produce protein and fat for livestock and so freeing millions of hectares worldwide creating more bio ­ diversity.

Adoption associations are really helpful and they help match families to their pets making sure that everyone will be happy together. You can even ask them if you can foster the pet for a while to make sure you are right for each other.

The cost of adopting your pet is much lower and usually just covers the cost of sterilisation and the vaccinations they have received.

I know puppies are cute but sometimes an older dog can be the right choice as they are usually toilet trained and calmer

LIDL’S famous middle aisle has a new product that all pet owners must have. The perfect accessory if you like to take your loyal sidekicks with you on a bike ride. Somewhere in between socks and garden tools, you will find a new polyester bag that is placed on the front handlebars replacing the usual basket. Inside you will find an integrated short leash to keep your pet safe, it is reflective for extra visibility and has a padded base to make it even more comfortable for our pets. All this for only €24.99

By adopting you help to reduce the inhumane pet breeding trade.

Usually, mixed ­ breed dogs what people usually refer to as a mongrel, not designer puggles or cock­ apoos, are healthier and less vulnerable to diseases unlike purebred animals or the designer crossbreeds mentioned before. With pet adoptions down 36 per cent since the pandemic think about adopting a pet from a shelter near you.

Most popular pets

THE Spanish have shown the world how devoted they are to their animals by creating a law that states animals are not things but sentient beings and your pet should be considered a member of your family. Not only that they have recently released a new animal welfare law, reported in the last edition of the EuroWeekly News, with strict rules on their care and heavy fines in place for those who do not comply with the law.

With that in mind let’s have a look at the most popular pets in Spain.

Top of the list are dogs, no surprises there, with the most popular breeds being the Yorkshire Terrier, the Labrador, the German Shepard, and the Bulldog.

Next up are cats, the preferred pet for people living in apartments. After cats, another good option for apartment living is birds with most Spanish pet owners opting for canaries and parrots. Other animals high in the ranking in Spain are turtles, a very popular option for kids. Notable mentions go to hamsters, rabbits, and lizards, all great pet choices for children and very popular in Spain also.
