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.
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.
Rabbits and guinea pigs are two common pets for new small pet owners. These animals are known to live long and healthy lives, as long as they are taken care of properly. One of the best things you can do for your new rabbit or guinea pig is to ensure you are giving him the best nutrition possible.
