General rabbit care
Our rabbits are not vaccinated and will need vaccinations as soon as possible after purchase. Rabbits can't eat grass, fruit or vegetables until they are 12 weeks old so be sure to check their age before purchase. A female and a male rabbit are a great combination, providing that you get them both neutered. We strongly reccommend that you do not house rabbits and guinea pigs together to minimize the spread of disease, and injury to the guinea.

About
Netherland dwarf rabbits are very small, reaching only 1.5kg in weight as adults. If you are considering having a house rabbit then a dwarf would be a great choice. Due to their size they will not need hutches/cages as large as other rabbits may and therefore take up less room. They have a lovely nature and make for great family rabbits.

Guinea-pig

About
We stock a wide variety of pure and crossbred guinea-pigs. These animals make great pets for homes with children as they are easy to look after, very rarely bite and love to socialize. We reccommend that males are kept in odd numbers to reduce the risk of bullying and that females are kept as a minimum of a pair because they like to socialize.
Guinea-pigs can have veg and grass from the moment they are born and will appreciate it. Hay makes up around 65 - 75% of their diet and should be always available as guinea-pigs are not designed to go for hours without food going through their digestive system.

Gerbil

About
Lop rabbits will reach up to 5kg in weight. They are easily recognised by their long, floppy ears which reach 5" - 8" long. Lop rabbits will require a larger hutch due to their size, a properly sized hutch will allow the rabbit to sit up on its hind legs.
About
Lionhead rabbits will get between 2.5 and 3.5kg in weight. They will grow long hair and require a lot of care to keep in good condition, regular baths and daily combing will keep your lionhead in great health and also help to build up a strong relationship between you and your rabbit.

Hamsters

About
Russian dwarf hamsters, as the name suggests, are fairly small. This means that they are greatly suited for homes that do not have a huge ammount of space. These hamsters tend to be very docile and have great temperaments. Because of their size, be sure that the cage that you have is free from widely spaced bars as they may squeeze out. We stock all plastic cages in store which are perfect for these hamsters.
About
Syrian hamsters are fairly large hamsters which can grow up to around 8" in length. They are very varied in colour and fur types which means that there are over 20 different variations of syrian. These hamsters will need a cage with a wheel large enough for them to run on and plenty of room to live in. Be sure to provide gnawing blocks to stop your hamster from chewing on the cage.
General hamster care
Hamsters make great family pets, they are nocturnal and therefore start to wake up at the same sort of time as children would get home from school. They are easily handled and providing that children are taught the correct handling and responsibilities, they will make a lovely pet.
Hamsters generally live between 2 and 3 years when looked after well and are always reccomended to be kept alone as pairs will most likely fight and seriously injure eachother.
About
Gerbils are adapted to conserve water and are therefore fairly odourless. They are curious animals and make intersting, lively pets with a great nature. They are largely social and should be kept in small, single-sex groups or pairs. If keeping multiple gerbils, they should be purchased at the same time because when introducing new ones at a later date it is unlikely that they will be accepted.
