Pet rodents

Rats are intelligent, inquisitive and sociable animals! They grow on average about 20-25cm and their life span is about 2-2.5 years.

Your home is a safe and special space for you, your family, and pets to live in. When a baby arrives, parents will ‘baby-proof’ the house to ensure the place is safe for little ones. But paw-rents should also do a safety sweep of their home as well – as pets can be in danger from household items and chemicals, too!

I had two guinea pigs, Bill and Bobby, but recently Bill has passed away. Now that Bobby is by himself I have noticed he has stopped eating and isn’t as happy as he used to be. Does this mean I should get him another friend?

Gone are the days when guinea pig owners would keep their pets alone in a hutch in the backyard with little interaction with the family or socialisation.

Mice are very intelligent, sociable animals that make wonderful companions! Mice grow on average about 6-8cm long and their life span is about 1-3 years.

We recently had two guinea pigs, Peanut and Flossie, join our family. Somebody told me that for guinea pigs to be healthy, it is really important that they have enough vitamin C. Can you tell me why and what I can do to make sure my guinea pigs get enough vitamin C?
