There are many species that you can consider adopting to join your family, beyond just cats and dogs. Read on to find out more about how to care for some of the most popular species kept as pets in Australia. Guinea Pigs are interesting and fun little characters.
When provided with everything that they need, they can be wonderful pets for your family. However, they are small and delicate and can be injured or stressed if handled inappropriately. It is important that they are handled properly and gently, and interactions with children should always be supervised.
Because they are social animals, it is necessary that more than one pet guinea pig be kept for companionship. Domestic rabbits are inquisitive, fun-loving and make very appealing pets. They are social animals who, with a little time and patience, can be house and toilet-trained and make great companions. Rabbits need regular exercise outside their hutch in a safe area under supervision. Kit Ferrets 16 weeks - 6 Months :.

You can also treat your ferret with small pieces of human grade meat. Remember that clean, fresh water should always be provided to your ferret, ideally in heavy bowls to avoid spills.
Be careful of leaving objects around the home that might inadvertently be chewed by your pet ferret. Make sure that both ferrets are desexed before housing them together, as desexing has important health benefits and will help social cohesion. Keep ferrets away from small animals in the same household, such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and kittens, as they have been known to prey on smaller pets.
To keep them safe, ferrets should be confined to a secure area like a cage except when under supervision. An active and inquisitive species, ferrets left alone in the house will explore and chew random objects which could quickly put them in a dangerous situation which is why ferret cages are a good idea.
The cage where your ferret sleeps should be as large as possible, allowing them at a minimum to stretch fully, walk around and easily turn around in the cage. Ensure the cage is well-ventilated and contains different furnishings such as boxes, tunnels, and hammocks to keep things interesting for your ferret.
Did you know that ferrets can be trained to use a litter tray like a cat? Provide a litter box in the corner of their cage and change it daily. Ferrets require vaccines as they can get many of the same diseases as dogs, as well as flea and worming preventatives.
