Small Mammal Caring

Duration – 27 Mins

Considering a new addition to your family? While dogs are popular, smaller mammals can make excellent pets, especially for those with limited space or for children’s first pet experiences.

Small mammals like gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, or rats are perfect for apartment dwellers or families looking for lower-maintenance pets. These pocket-sized companions offer the joy of pet ownership without the space requirements and extensive care needs of larger animals.
