Small Pet Care focuses on creating safe, engaging routines for rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, rats, and other pocket pets. Start with the right habitat size, solid flooring, and species-appropriate bedding that controls odour and dust. Provide a balanced diet of fresh hay, quality pellets, species-safe greens, and constant access to clean water. Enrichment matters every day, so rotate tunnels, chew toys, wheels sized for the species, and foragers to prevent boredom and support dental health. Keep a consistent cleaning schedule to reduce ammonia build-up and monitor for subtle changes in appetite, weight, coat condition, droppings, or behaviour. Gentle handling, quiet spaces, and predictable light cycles help reduce stress. Temperature and humidity should stay within the ideal range for each species, with good ventilation and no drafts. Schedule regular veterinary check-ups, maintain parasite prevention where relevant, and keep a basic first-aid kit ready. Thoughtful Small Pet Care builds trust, longevity, and daily joy.
