Should my pet rodent be vaccinated?

No, pet rodents do not need to be vaccinated.

Can I have my pet rodent spayed or neutered?

Yes, it’s actually recommended. Sterilization prevents reproduction and protects animals from certain diseases of the reproductive system.

What should I feed my pet rodent?

Pet rodents all have different diets. Call us for more information. Our team will be able to advise you.
