Frequently Asked Questions

What size habitat is appropriate for my small animal?

The appropriate habitat size depends on your small animal's species and size:

  • Hamsters & Gerbils: Minimum 24x12 inches floor space, with multiple levels
  • Guinea Pigs: Minimum 7.5 square feet for one, 10.5 square feet for two
  • Rabbits: Minimum 12 square feet, with space to hop and stretch
  • Ferrets: Multi-level cage with minimum 24x24x18 inches per ferret

Always choose the largest habitat you can accommodate, with appropriate bar spacing to prevent escape.

What type of bedding is safest for small animals?

Different types of bedding serve different purposes for small animal health:

  • Paper-based bedding: Highly absorbent, low dust, safe for most small animals
  • Aspen wood shavings: Safe for most small animals, avoid cedar and pine
  • Fleece liners: Reusable and soft, good for animals with respiratory issues
  • Hay or straw: Natural option, provides both bedding and food source

Avoid cedar and pine shavings as they contain aromatic oils that can be harmful to small animals' respiratory systems.

What toys are safe for my small animal?

Safe small animal toys should be:

  • Size-appropriate: Not small enough to be swallowed or have parts that could trap your pet
  • Non-toxic materials: Made from pet-safe woods, cardboard, and hard plastics
  • Chew-safe: Appropriate for your pet's chewing habits and strength
  • Varied: Include different textures, functions (chewing, hiding, climbing)

Rotate toys regularly to prevent boredom and always supervise your pet with new toys initially.

How often should I clean my small animal's habitat?

Habitat cleaning frequency depends on the size of your pet and habitat:

  • Daily: Remove uneaten food, spot clean soiled bedding
  • Weekly: Replace all bedding, clean food and water dishes
  • Monthly: Deep clean entire habitat with pet-safe disinfectant

More frequent cleaning may be needed for smaller habitats or multiple animals. Always use pet-safe cleaning products.

What are the signs my small animal needs to see a vet?

You should contact an exotic animal veterinarian if your small animal shows any of these signs:

  • Changes in appetite or water consumption
  • Lethargy or decreased activity
  • Changes in droppings (size, shape, frequency)
  • Respiratory issues (sneezing, wheezing, labored breathing)
  • Hair loss or changes in fur condition
  • Behavioral changes (aggression, hiding more than usual)
  • Weight loss or gain

Small animals often hide illness until it's advanced, so any noticeable change warrants attention from an exotic animal veterinarian.

What should I feed my small animal for optimal health?

Proper nutrition varies by species but generally includes:

  • High-quality pellets: Formulated specifically for your pet's species
  • Fresh hay: Essential for dental health and digestion (timothy, orchard grass)
  • Fresh vegetables: Leafy greens and other safe vegetables in moderation
  • Limited fruits: As occasional treats due to high sugar content
  • Fresh water: Always available, changed daily

Research your specific pet's dietary needs as requirements vary significantly between species.
