Gerbils, Guinea Pigs, and Hamsters

Many small rodents are kept as pets, including the rat, the mouse, the gerbil, the hamster, and the guinea pig. These pets require little space, are relatively inexpensive to maintain, and provide an excellent starting point into pet ownership for children. We can provide client education on sexing, handling, nutrition, normal lifespans, and housing for these pets. In addition we recommend yearly examinations in an effort to maintain the long term health of the pet.
