These may well may include sheep, birds, rabbits, miniature horses, wild boar, and possibly even miniature horses. Foodstuff might be obtained for the livestock from a shop. Your nearest petting zoo could even have more unique wildlife such as skunks, exotic critters such as scorpions and reptiles and even birds of paradise. Be assured if you are an Aunty with a niece for instance, then you are not going to be disappointedwith what a little one's petting farm can offer you you.  Some zoos might even provide you with a mobile service which would probably be of specific interest to a guardian seeking to set up a party perhaps.
