Small Animals FAQs
There's a broad spectrum of small animal species available for children or adults seeking the companionship of pet but don't want the traiditional cat or dog. Many animals from the wild make wonderful pets, too. Guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, mice, rats, and many more exhibit docility, sociability, and gentleness that make them suitable for anyone. Most of these animals have been domesticated and so get accustomed to human contact readily. Because they require minimal food and maintenance, they are a great option for anyone who wants to make their first foray into the world of pet ownership. The most basic needs of small animals are clean, comfortable housing and food. There are variances in dietary needs among species, but these can be easily learned through research. Because small animals are sensitive and fragile, knowing proper handling of species is also essential before buying one.
