Problem: Article: Llamas are extremely social creatures and need at least one other llama for its mental well-being. Llamas that are not socialized can be either extremely skittish or abnormally violent and aggressive. The ideal herd size for llamas is four to six animals. Once you have more animals than that, they will begin to split and form new herds. Female llamas in particular have a strong need to form a herd.  Male llamas can be problematic and disruptive to the herd. If you have a male that is particularly difficult to manage, castration may help calm him down. If you cannot afford to purchase a herd of llamas at once, consider buying one llama and then obtaining a rescue llama, which will be much cheaper. Once you have purchased your llama, have your veterinarian give it an evaluation. If it has not already received them, your llama will also need its vaccinations. Depending on where you live, you will also likely need to have your llama dewormed at some point. You should also have your veterinarian check the overall health of the animal so that you can better understand what, if any, dietary supplements you need to provide. Generally, llamas are hardy animals that do not need much veterinary care. However, it is important that your local vet know your animal in case it ever needs medical attention. You should visit your animal every day to check on its overall health and wellness. Check to see if the animal has any wounds or issues with its fleece. You should also physically check your llama’s body fat every now and then. Because its fleece can mask its size, you should score you llama regularly. Simply, feel the thickness of the animal’s back at the base of its neck and give a gentle squeeze. If the back is “U”-shaped, the llama is the correct weight. If it is “V”-shaped, your llama is underweight. If it is flat, your llama is overweight.
Summary: Make sure your llama has a companion. Take your llama to the vet. Check your llama regularly. Score your llama.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Start the seeds roughly four weeks before the date of your last expected frost. Since chickpea seeds are somewhat fragile, you should sow them indoors instead of planting them in the cold ground.  If you do intend to plant chickpea seeds outdoors, wait one to two weeks before your last expected frost and cover the area at night with a light mulch or old sheets to help insulate the seeds. Chickpeas have a long growing season and may take 90 to 100 days until they are ready to harvest. Because of this, you will need to plant them as early as possible. Chickpea seedlings do not transplant well, so you should use paper or peat seedling pots that can be planted directly into the ground instead of using plastic or ceramic containers. Seedling pots can be purchased online and at most gardening centers. Fill the seedling pots with a little potting soil, then plant one seed in each pot, positioning it 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) deep.  Planting one seed per pot is recommended, but you can plant up to two. When the seedlings sprout, though, you will need to thin them down to one per pot. If you do need to thin out the seedlings, cut the weaker seedling away at soil level using sharp scissors. Do not dig it out since doing so could disturb the roots. Sprouting usually takes about two weeks. Water the soil gently every day. If it gets hot, water them twice a day. Place the seedling pots near a window that receives plenty of direct sunlight and keep the surface of the soil evenly moist until the seedlings sprout.  Do not soak the seed before sowing it. You should also avoid heavy waterings after sowing the seeds since they can cause the seeds to crack. The surface of the soil should be slightly moist, but do not drench the soil beyond that.

SUMMARY: Sow the seeds indoors, putting them a quarter of an inch into the soil. Use biodegradable pots. Plant one to two seeds per pot. Provide the seeds with sun and water.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Lean your crutch up against the side of the car, right behind the driver's side door. Unlock the door while maintaining your balance, and carefully slide into the driver's seat. To avoid further injury, it is advised to slide in with your backside first. If you are using a second crutch, place it on the passenger seat or behind the driver's seat. Do not shut the driver's side door. Insert the key into the ignition, and turn it forward slightly so that the car turns on, but the engine does not start. Wind down the driver's side window and reach back for the crutch that you left outside earlier. As you bring the crutch into the car, make sure that the top (the padded under-arm part) is near the upper part of your body. When you close the driver's side door, make sure the top of the crutch goes through the open window; it should stick out the window a little bit. Buckle your seat belt and using your left hand, place the end of the crutch on the clutch pedal (the one on the far left). Push the clutch all the way in and apply the brake with your right foot while making sure the car is in neutral with your right hand. If it is, then turn the ignition all the way and wait for the engine to start. Once the car turns over, take the crutch off the clutch pedal and remove the emergency brake. ’  With your left hand, use the crutch to push in the clutch again, and with your right hand, shift the car into first gear. Grab the steering wheel with your right hand at the 2 o'clock position. Take your right foot off of the brake and use it to push in the accelerator, revving the engine to around 2,000 RPMs. Slowly release the clutch (using the crutch) until you feel the car start to pull forward. Push the gas in further and release the clutch completely (it's a push/pull relationship between the two pedals). Shifting from first to second is similar to the step above. Keeping your eyes on the road, start out with your left hand on the crutch handle and your right hand on the steering wheel. When it is safe to shift, move your right hand to the shifter and bring your left thigh up to stabilize the steering wheel. With the crutch, push the clutch in and pull the shifter down (into the second gear position) with your right hand. Remember to not give the car gas until after you have released the clutch (push/pull). Now you are in second gear. Repeat step 5 to shift into higher gears. There may come a point during your drive that you would like to downshift to a lower gear. This may be because you are heading down a steep slope or feel that you want to accelerate at a greater rate.  Place the crutch on the clutch, take your right foot off of the gas, and move your right hand to the shifter. In a quick, smooth motion push in the clutch with the crutch and then move the shifter into the desired lower gear. Remember, it is always best to downshift into the next smallest gear (e.g. if you are in 5th gear, downshift to 4th). Once you are in the desired gear, release the clutch and slowly push on the accelerator with your right foot. Lastly, bring your right hand up onto the steering wheel. Once you arrive at your destination, park the car, push the clutch in with the crutch, shift the transmission into neutral, and apply the emergency brake. Open the driver's side door and lean your crutch(es) outside of the car against the top of the door frame. Roll up your window and turn off the car. Shift the transmission into first gear (or reverse) to keep it from rolling. Carefully bring yourself out of the car with the help of your crutch(es) and close the door behind you. Good luck with that foot!
Summary:
Get in the vehicle. Set up. Start up. 'Get it in first gear. Shift up. Shift down. Finishing Up. Congratulations, you made it!
