Synopsis
If you plan on getting a small mammal as a pet it is extremely important that you understand how crucial it is that you make sure that the pet is getting the proper care. Small mammals health can deteriorate quite quickly under bad circumstances so it is vital that you are constantly inspecting your pet for any signs of sickness.
No matter how small the mammal is that you are keeping for a pet, it is still a living creature and deserves to be cared for properly. Then following chapter will go over some of the negative consequences that can come from not properly taking care of your small mammal.
Be Aware of the Danger!
To start with, most of these mammals are very small in size as its title so aptly describes them; this is often the biggest problem when it comes to having these mammals as pets. Their small size often makes interaction with them rather difficult and stressful and most pet owners simply settle for observing them from outside the cages or housing facilities. It is often difficult to even pick up such pet for a quick cuddle as besides the obvious small size, these animals are also very good at scurrying off quickly or wriggling out of the human hand’s grasp.
Cleaning the housing for these pet can also be rather challenging and sometimes because it is considered a nuisance, some pet owner avoid doing it according to requirements. This will of course eventually affect the health of the small mammal pet and this will have even more unwanted negative connotations. The strong odors of the poop and urine of these pets can also be quite strong, and that is why there is a need to clean the housing accordingly to specific instructions provided by guides and other sources of information.
Giving these small mammal pets the correct foods and the ideal nutritional needs can also be a challenge. In most cases the pet would need fresh fruits and vegetables or grains and seeds of some sort. These should ideally never be left to rot in the housing as it would not only be unhealthy for the animal but would also be unhygienic. Overfeeding is also something to avoid as it will bring on the onset of obesity and other negative medical conditions.
These small animals are also not used to loud and bright places, thus the need to find cool, quiet and calm surroundings for their housing location.
