I worked in retail brick and mortar pet stores for quite a few years before coming to PetSolutions. During that time I had the opportunity to speak to many parents who were looking at hamsters and gerbils as pets for their children.
Many small pet owners do not realize the need for a first aid kit for their small pet. While most small pets are confined to a cage for the majority of their lives, they can still be injured. Without the proper supplies, a small injury could become a serious problem.
I often think working at PetSolutions is kind of like working at a zoo. Between the animals we sell and the pets brought in by co-workers for photo shoots or visits, I am exposed to many different types and breeds of animals that make great pets, even if I never considered some of them before. Because of this experience, I want share the different pets I get to see at our “zoo.”
Dental care is an important part of pet ownership. Many dog and cat owners do their part to help keep their pet’s teeth clean and healthy. However, small pets are also in need of the same care when it comes to dental health.
Hamsters and gerbils are one of the first small pets we own in our lives. Many of us had one or more when we were kids, and some of us get them for kids of our own. In general, hamsters and gerbils are healthy animals, and as long as they are fed properly, they can live up to five years. Determining a proper diet for your little pet can be difficult.
