Sugar Gliders are very active, playful, intelligent, and inquisitive animals

Habitat: A properly ventilated cage no smaller than 24″ x 24” x 36″. Large bird cages make great homes for sugar gliders. Habitats should include pouches for sleeping, exercise wheels and plenty of branches for climbing

Diets: High-quality sugar glider pellets along with fruits, vegetables, insects like crickets, superworms and mealworms are all ideal for their diets

Life expectancy: 10-15 years

Sugar Gliders are animals that bond to their cage mates as well as their owners. This is a very serious connection and is not to be taken lightly. Keeping these little guys are a big responsibility so please do as much research as possible.

Rabbits are highly intelligent, social, and affectionate. Rabbits are not caged animals

Habitat: habitats should be at least 6ftx6ft but bigger is always better. There should be multiple litter boxes, a bowl for food and water, and multiple toys/chew options.

Diet: High-quality rabbit pellets, constant access to age appropriate hay and fresh water are required for a healthy diet. Treats can also include a limited amount of fruits, vegetables, and designated packaged treats.

Vetting: We recommend having your bunny spayed/neutered. Doing this stops a lot of hormone driven behavioral issues as well as lengthening their life span.

Life expectancy: 10+ years

Hedgehogs are nocturnal animals, meaning they are awake at night and sleep during the day. With time they will become more interactive as you work with them.

Habitat: habitats should be at least 4 feet long and 2 feet wide packed with bedding, a hide, exercise wheel, and other enrichment options. These guys also require higher temperatures, 78-82 degrees Fahrenheit, this can be achieved with a ceramic heat emitter and a thermostat.

Diet: Dry hedgehog food along with live bugs are ideal for hedgehogs. Treats such as insects like mealworms, superworms, crickets and even wet cat food are great to add variety for them.

Disclaimer: Hedgehogs take time and patience to come around to handling. They’re also going to require regular/frequent cleaning and nail trimming.

Life expectancy: 3-5 years

Guinea Pigs are loving, adorable, and easy-maintenance that make for a great pet

Habitat: A minimum 36"L x 30"W x 18"H escape-proof, well-ventilated habitat with a solid flooring packed with 1”-2” bedding

Diet: high-quality Guinea pig pellets and limited amounts of vegetables and fruits. Timothy hay and access to fresh water should be provided at all times. A limited amount of vegetables and fruits can be given daily, but should not exceed 10% of their total diet. Vitamin C is also essential for the health and diet of guinea pigs

Life expectancy: up to 8 years

Hamsters are adorable, clean, easy to care for, and entertaining

Habitat: The size of the habitat will depend on the type of hamster you have. Larger species such as Syrians will require something at least 36”x18”x18” with 4”-6” of bedding. Russian Dwarfs will need something at least 30”x12”x12” with also a decent layer of bedding to burrow in.

Diet: a high-quality pellet based hamster food and fresh water should always be available. Foods packed with seeds are considered low quality and not very nutritious. Vegetables, fruits and insects are also great treats to add to their diet

Life expectancy: 2-3 years on average

Rats are intelligent, social, and clean animals that enjoy human interaction. They need to be kept in pairs to groups for social interactions.

A cage with minimum dimensions of 36”x18”x30” would work for a pair. Bar spacing for babies should be 1/4”, and 3/4th for adults. BIGGER IS ALWAYS BETTER.
