    Extractions: I. Small Animal: Dental Care INDEX Do you know what makes your little critter so unique? Her teethand all the chewing she does with them! It's no surprise that the name "rodent" comes from "rodere," a Latin word that means to gnaw. Read on to find out how to keep your pet's dentition in tip-top condition. Wonder why your pet is always gnawing on something? Her front incisor teeth, like those of all mice, rats, hamsters, gerbils and guinea pigs, grow continuously throughout her life. The average rat's incisors, for example, grow at the amazing rate of around five inches every year. Another thing you may have noticed about your pet is that her choppers aren't exactly pearly white. It's perfectly normal and perfectly healthy for a companion rodent's teeth to be yellowy-orange or almost brownish in color. This hue is due to the presence of iron in the tooth's enamel. To keep her teeth properly worn down and maintain their sharp shape, your furry friend has to chew...and chew...and chew! You can help her simply by providing safe, appropriate items on which she can gnaw. You'll find a good selection of chew toys, made from a variety of materials from wood to cardboard, at the pet supply store. Small bits of hard dog biscuit can be given to hamsters, rats and mice for chewing, but please don't give any of these to your herbivorous guinea pigs. Be sure to regularly check your pet's chew toys for any loose bits that could get stuck in her throat if accidentally ingested.

    Extractions: INDEX Did you know that there are substances in your home that are poisonous to your pet? You can easily find all of these products in stores. In fact, pet owners buy and use them regularly. But by reading labels; keeping informed of what substances are dangerous; and keeping these products out of your pet's reach, you can substantially reduce the chances that your dog or cat will become poisoned. Flea and tick control products can cause serious toxic reactions when misused. This includes shampoos, sprays, dips and formulas that treat the environment. Symptoms of poisoning may appear 1 to 6 hours after exposure and include muscle tremors, vomiting, excessive salivation and difficulty in breathing. Make sure to follow manufacturer's instructions when using flea and tick control products on your pets. Never use a formula that's meant for dogs on your cat, and vice versa.

    Extractions: Males are usually larger than females. Males can weigh up to 2 pounds (.9 kg.) but typically way less. Housing Clean-up Rats are very clean animals and therefore their cages should be kept very clean. Your rat will not be happy living in a dirty cage. Cages should be cleaned every 3 days and waste matter should be removed daily. You should have a small pet carrier on hand to put your rat in while you clean out the cage. These carriers can also be used when taking your rat to the vet, or where ever else you decide to take them. Grooming Rats are very clean animals. They are constantly grooming themselves (like cats), so no additional grooming is required on the owners part. If you house more than one rat together they will groom each other. Feeding Fresh water should be provided daily in a gravity driven hanging bottle. These types of bottles can be purchased at just about any pet supply store. Rats are scavengers and will eat just about anything. Low sugar cereals, breads, fruits, vegetables, meats, chicken bones, dog food, cat food, and table scraps can be fed to rats. You can also buy rat food and treats from your local pet store. Rats especially seem to enjoy bananas, grapes, peas, broccoli, sweet corn, pasta, yogurt, eggs, meat, chicken bones and fish. Be sure you feed them a well balanced diet. Too much protein can cause protein scabs. Younger rats need more protein than older rats.

They are closely related to the porcupine and the guinea pig. They originate from South America. Chinchillas are small and squirrel like. They are very shy animals and can be easily frightened. They are clean and odourless. Their fur is very soft and can be bluish grey, white, silver, beige or black. The female is larger than the male. If pregnant, she can produce 1-5 babies, usually two. Sexual maturity is reached at 8 months and she will be pregnant for 111 days. Babies are weaned at 6-8 weeks and chinchillas usually live for around 10 years. Chinchillas are basically nocturnal. However, in captivity, they can be active through the day. In fact, chinchillas are very active and acrobatic therefore they require as much space as your can give them. A minimum floor space would be I m x 2m and 2m high per chinchilla. Cages must be wire mesh and not wooden. A nest box must be provided of approximately 3Ox25x2Ocm.

    Extractions: Domestically raised mice and rats are very popular pets in the United States. They are readily available, relatively inexpensive and easy to care for, and usually enjoy human handling. These animals have been used extensively in research laboratories for many years. Consequently, their medical problems (many of which are inherited disorders resulting from intensive inbreeding) have been traditionally approached on a group basis rather than on an individual basis. As a result, very little practical and useful information exists on the medical care and treatment of individual pet mice and rats. Further, even less information is available to the pet owner on responsible home care of rodents and recognition of their potential medical problems. Mice In the wild, mice may exhibit aggression among themselves, though establishment of a social "pecking order" tends to reduce this potentially injurious behavior. Individual males apparently dominate groups of mice using this social pecking order. Females with litters may fight to defend their nests. Domestication and intensive breeding of mice have resulted in a tremendous genetic diversity of mouse populations. The Swiss Albino mouse has become one of the most popular strains for pets but many others are commonly used in this capacity.

    http://www.nfrs.org/books.html
    
    Extractions: This is a review of books on rats which are currently available in the UK. Any book on pet care will have both good and bad points; publishers generally do not require authors to have their work reviewed by experts before the book is printed, so it is easy for inaccuracies to creep in, and for controversial opinions to be presented as hard-and-fast facts. This means that it helps to read as much as possible, and to talk to experienced rat owners, to get all views - rather than treating one book as your ultimate guide. Some of the books listed are out of print; these can be obtained via libraries and bookshops which perform searches for old books, such as Dillons. A great new guide to keeping rats as pets, with much thought given to the practical aspects - eg suggested 'house rules' for children helping to care for rats. There is a helpful guide to varieties, but note that the book is American, so some colour names are different (eg their Beige is our Buff). The book also shows Hairless and Tailless rats, which are not shown in the UK as these deformities are linked with health problems. Considerable confusion in the health chapter, eg regarding respiratory illness, and uterine problems - consult a more reliable source in this area. The chapters on 'Understanding your rat' and 'Training tips and tricks' are great fun - includes a guide to rat body language and 'The Meaning of Squeaking'!

    Extractions: Home Site Map Search ... Contact The basic setup needed for mice and rats really couldn't be more simple. You'll need the standard enclosure, substrate, and food and water containers that you would need with any caged animal, and some toys to keep it healthy and active. There are a number of cages designed for mice and rats (or other small animals). Some are basic, and some come with dozens of options and attachments. What you should look for is a cage with ample room for the number of animals you wish to keep in it, a solid bottom to prevent foot injuries, and plenty of ventilation. Aquariums with a screened lid will also work, but since there is less airflow, you must be sure to keep up on your cleaning to prevent ammonia build-up inside the tank. If you purchase a cage without a solid bottom (such is the case with many "starter kits") then cover the bottom with several layers of newspaper and change these regularly with the bedding. A water bottle that hangs on the side of your cage is a must. Just putting a bowl of water in the tank will not do. It could easily be tipped over, soaking the bottom of the cage and creating unhealthy conditions for your pets. A small bowl is okay for the food dish, however, since they'll probably just drag the food all over the cage, anyway. Give fresh water every few days and make sure they are drinking it. If not, you may want to provide a salt lick to increase their thirst. Make sure both water and food is available at all times. The standard lab pellets for rodents are probably your best bet for feeding your mice or rats. Those mixes of fruits, seeds, and vegetables are best used as a treat. Also consider a vitamin supplement to keep your pets in good health.
