These little sweeties are often chosen as pets for the first time animal guardian because they are relatively low maintenace and have gentle dispositions. Nutrition Commercial rodent pellets are available for Gerbils and Hamsters at pet stores. All four creatures have similar diets so if you have a rat, gerbil pellets are fine. For a more palatable diet, supplement the pellets with diced fruit and seeds, but don’t overdo it. These little guys have habit of filling up on the yummy stuff and ignoring the pellets, and eating that way will not satisfy their daily nutritional needs. Housing As the popularity of keeping small animals increases, more and more cages designed for them are appearing in pet stores all over. But, I recommend a glass aquarium with a screen cover. Ferrets - More like a cat than a rodent when it comes to care and maintenance. Rabbits - A hunny bunny can be a great pet if some basic needs are met.

Lifespan: Two to three years The most common pet hamster is the Syrian hamster. If you have one of these hammies, he's a descendant of the first hamsters captured from the wild in 1930. Syrians are sometimes called golden hamsters, because of their honey-colored fur, which can be long or short, silky or fluffy. Syrian hamsters like to live alone and prefer their own turf.

Roborovsky's hamster (Phodopus roborovski) is the smallest dwarf hamster kept as a pet. This little guy is about two inches long but can live three to four years. Even smaller is the Chinese hamster, who's about the size of a mouse.

Download this Book and Save Hundreds on Vet Bills! We all want our beloved rodents to be happy and healthy. This means paying the vet hundreds of dollars for exams, right? No! Ask any vet the care your rodent gets at home has far more effect on his health than any vet exam. In fact, most vets give out advice along with prescriptions advice that could have prevented the illness in the first place! Wouldn't you like to have that advice now, before you have to hear it from your vet? Rats, mice, gerbils, hamsters, and guinea pigs all have different needs. For instance, guinea pigs cannot metabolize vitamin C on their own, so you must provide it in their diet every day, or they can develop serious, and even fatal, health problems. Rats and mice don't have this problem, however. Understanding your rodent's diet needs is easy, will keep him healthier and happier, and can prevent expensive treatments in the future. Note: we are not saying you will never have to visit the vet again! Vet care is important to your pet's health. However, with the care techniques in this book, you can prevent a multitude of costly illnesses with just a little knowledge!

Talk with Pet Owners You know it's good for you. You know that exercise can give you energy, help you maintain a healthy weight, keep your muscles and joints flexible, help you live longer, and above all, make you feel better. For all the same reasons, your pets need to get up and get moving. Not only can exercise extend your furry friends' lives; it may also expend some of their nervous energy and make them a little less likely to chew on the living room drapes. The thing is, nobody's filled pets in on all of these benefits of exercise. Without someone to lead the way, they're not going to run laps or do leg lifts in their spare time. So as a wonderful pet parent, part of your job is ensuring your animal family members get safe, enjoyable exercise on a regular basiswhether they're cats, dogs, turtles, or ferrets! All pets need some physical activity to live a happy, healthy life.

Health Problems of Pocket Pets Pocket Pets include guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, mice and rats. The care of each of these pets is similar. Each require a roomy, safe cage appropriate for their size and climbing habits. The cage can be bedded with wood shavings or shredded paper and food should be supplied in suspended feeders or heavy crocks that can't be tipped. It is best to accustom these pets to drink from a water bottle with a sipper tube to prevent water from spilling in the cage. Guinea Pigs Guinea pigs are native to the Andes Mountains of South America, but are commonly seen here as pets and research animals. They are related to chinchillas and porcupines. Guinea pigs make excellent pets if handled gently and seldom bite. They can be housed in a large aquarium or other open top enclosure as they seldom climb. They are best kept at 65-79 F. Guinea pigs are fed commercial pellets. Because they, like humans need vitamin C, they can be fed one small handful of kale or cabbage or one quarter orange daily.

Numerous studies have shown the beneficial effects of animals on the health and adjustment of individuals, including children. School counselors can use small animals such as hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs as an effective adjunct intervention. Pocket pets help build rapport, enhance the counseling relationship, and facilitate work on issues including feelings, responsibility, grief, and attachment. "What happened to Harry?" Brothers Charles and Joe, reenrolling at my school for their fifth elementary placement, had stopped by the counseling office on their first morning back to check on an old friend. The boys, who had surrendered their own pets over the course of several family moves, were saddened to learn that Harry the hamster had died of advanced age. At the same time, they were intrigued by my newest resident, a dwarf hamster named Ginger. Charles immediately volunteered to take Ginger under his care, begging to take him home over spring break. His offer dovetailed perfectly with my own plans: I wanted to check in with Charles regularly, I hoped to cultivate his emerging sense of responsibility, and, not incidentally, I needed a hand with hamster chores.

They fit in the palm of your hand, they're lovable and cuddly, and caring for them is easy and inexpensive. Steps: Buy a hamster that is between 4 and 7 weeks old. They're easier to tame when they're young. Keep the cage away from drafts and direct sunlight. Cover the cage floor with a thick layer of bedding. Wood shavings are best, because they are absorbent and nontoxic. Keep the bedding warm and dry'moisture can cause fatal infections. Keep a filled, clean water bottle attached to the side of the cage. Provide plenty of chew toys. Hamsters love the cardboard tubes found inside rolls of toilet paper and paper towels. Attach hamster wood chews to the side of the cage. Make a small box for your hamster to sleep in. Cut a 2-inch doorway into a closed box. Place the box in a far corner of the cage. The hamster will fill the box with bedding and chewed-up pieces of cardboard from the toilet paper tubes and will use the box as a bedroom. He will not urinate in the box, so you can use it for many months before replacing it.
