Chapter 2: Research What Type Of Small Mammal You Want
Synopsis
When deciding on the particular type of small mammal to choose from as a pet, the potential owner would have to consider several different facts to ensure the right and most suitable choice is being made. This choice would depend on a variety of factors which either directly connect to the choice or indirectly does.
What Type
Small mammal pets usually cover a wide range of choices, such as mice, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters and guinea pigs. However even as small sized as they are, most of these pets can be really active and playful and would require a lot of attention and care. Aside from their furry cuteness, these small mammals are rather interesting and entertaining to watch. Most pet owners of small mammals will attest to simply being content with observing their pets for hours due to their often entertaining nature.
If the quest to acquire such a pet is a priority for the owner, then taking the time and effort to be as informed as possible about the particular small mammal chosen would be very beneficial to both parties. Failing which, the new pet would most likely suffer the consequences of poor care and thus eventually expire.
Elements to consider when conducting a research to find a suitable match as a pet would have to include matters such as the feasibility of acquiring the particular breed, the convenience of having it around permanently, the fit is makes into the current lifestyle of the individual, its food and housing needs, if the others pets will be able to adapt to the new comer, if the new pet will be able to adapt to its new environments and a whole host of other considerations, that should be taken into account before the small mammal is actually purchased.
Chapter 3: Determine Which Pet Will Best Fit With Your Family
Synopsis
Finding out a little about each small mammal beforehand will help the individual make a more informed choice as to the best pick for a pet, which will suit the family unit.
The following are some information on the different types of small mammals that would make ideal family pets:
What Will Fit
Hamsters – the small mammals don’t really have a long life span and usually live up to about 2 – 3 years only. An adult hamsters would be about 6 inches in length and usually most comfortable as solitary items. Although they don’t really require large cages, because of their active nature a bigger cage would be better than a smaller one. Being sociable and having simple dietary requirements present this choice as a good one to pick.
Gerbils too have a short lifespan of about 2 – 3 years and are very sociable animals. This breed would be comfortable in pairs or even in small groups provided the living space provided is big enough to comfortable accommodate the number decided. However it should be noted that if they are to co- exist as a group, getting them together from a young age would be better than introducing an fully grown one into an already existing group. Keeping only males or females would be a good idea if the pet owner does not want to be burdened with a population explosion as these creature breed really fast.
Mice are also suitable creatures to pick as pets as they are quite small and easy to maintain. Their cage size requirements are comparatively smaller that other small mammals and they interact well as a group. Being very playful and interactive, they also make excellent pets. However due to their really small size, human interaction may prove to be a challenge and they are more entertaining to watch rather than handled
Chapter 4: Consider Other Pets In The House
Synopsis
When there is a interest in getting a small mammal as a pet to be introduced into the current family unit, a lot of insinuating circumstances should be first considered carefully before a final decision is made. Introducing a new pet into an already existing environment where there are others pets, could prove to be a challenge especially if the existing pets perceive the new comer as a threat to them.
Other Pets
Therefore choosing a small mammal as an addition to the family unit should be done with only after a lot of serious consideration. It would be normal for the family members to now focus all their attention on the new comer, thus neglecting the existing pets. This would cause psychological damage to the other pets and this would either result in deteriorating heath of the pet or aggression towards the new pet. Some pet don’t take too kindly to a new comer and there are often episodes of incidences which jeopardize the survival of the new pet.
Besides this, the new small mammal pet will be put under unnecessary stress from the intrusion and presence of the existing pet. As pets are equally sensitive creatures, any changes in the environment would be traumatic enough and adding to this any outside disturbances will be more than it can take and this may result in some really negative outcomes.
Matters can be complicated further if the new pet is looked upon as a food source for the existing pets. There would be a constant attempt by one party to try and eat the other and this of course will not be an ideal situation to say the least. Therefore careful consideration needs to be given to ensure all parties are comfortable and accepting of the situation.
