Tips for small pet parent

1. Tips for Small Pet-Parents
Being a parent to a small pet is never easy. As simple it may look, these small babies have
their own complexities and details which you can’t overlook as a parent. Some such points to
remember are-
Guinea Pigs
Buy at least two guinea pigs so they are not forlorn. Guinea pigs need a companion since they
are not lone wolves. Ensure that they are related, else they will likely battle. Remember that
male and female will mate. Invest some energy with your pets each day. Keeping a friendly
creature alone can lead it to wind up discouraged. Therefore, every blog you’ll read will say
the same thing, buy these creatures in pairs.
Feed your guinea pigs crisp vegetables every day. Green vegetables should make up about
20% of your guinea pigs' eating routine. Be cautious about vegetables that contain a ton of
phosphorous, calcium and Vitamin A as such a large number of these can cause stomach
upsets and loose motions, which can be dangerous.
Rabbits
Rabbits are not low-budget creatures. They require a similar measure of time, cash, and care
as mutts and felines. They require as much exercise as a puppy, and a litter plate. In addition
they need your attention every day.

2. Spend enough time with your rabbit. Rabbits need company and love from you, especially if
he is your only pet. You should spend at least three hours a day with your rabbit outside of
his cage, but he may like more time inside the cage as well.
Hamsters
Training a hamster calls for time and patience. Don't rush through. Make out time to get to
know your hamster and respond to his/her action. The key here is to earn your hamster's trust
so it can learn that there is no reason to be afraid of you. Spend quality time around your
hamster's cage and quietly talk to the pet to get him/her used to your voice.
If the pet hamster bites you while you are handling him, he didn't mean to hurt you. These
hamsters just feel threatened. Do not overact by yelling or being harsh towards the hamster.
Stay calm and constant.
