The Importance of Proper Care and Husbandry
Your tiny roommate thrives in the right environment. Like us, small mammals and exotics have specific needs to stay happy and healthy. We offer consultations to help you create the perfect habitat. We'll cover everything from their ideal diet to setting up the most enriching enclosure so your pet can live life to the fullest.
Unique and Awesome Companions
Each exotic companion mammal brings a unique personality and set of needs to your home. To help them thrive, it's important to understand their diet and healthcare requirements. Here are some key facts to keep in mind:
- Rabbits and guinea pigs need to chew continuously, and their diet should be 90% hay. They also require dental care and vaccination for rabbit hemorrhagic disease.
- Ferrets need distemper and rabies vaccinations. We can diagnose and treat adrenal disease, indicated by hair loss.
- Hedgehogs require a specific diet rich in insects.
- Rats and hamsters are constant chewers and need plenty of chew toys to maintain dental health.
