PETS · SPECIES GUIDE
Small Pets
Species-specific housing, social needs, hay and fresh-food basics, enrichment, temperature, and daily health checks.
Three essentials
- Start with species-appropriate space, social structure, diet, chewing, hides, and temperature—not a generic small cage.
- Learn what normal droppings, appetite, posture, and activity look like; small animals can deteriorate quickly.
- Confirm every food and bedding material for the exact species.
