Adorable hamster eating in its cage

This is because, as with any mammal that has just been born, rodent puppies are also extremely delicate. Therefore, it is important to know how many days you can get the rodent puppy and what the main care of the little ones at this stage of life.

Only serve species-specific rations that you have, and opt for high-quality foods. Another important tip is that the pet must have a balanced diet, recommended by the veterinarian. The professional can indicate the best ration option and complementary ingredients to be offered outside or during meals.

A good point is that many rodents, such as hamsters and piglets in India, do not have rations divided by age group. This means that, even when small, the pet can already eat the common food. The ideal is to get used to the new food gradually, thus formulating balanced and healthy meals.
Toys are essential because apart from entertaining the pet, they also do good to physical and mental health. Many of these accessories contribute to combat stress and sedentary lifestyle, so they are always a great request.

When buying toys, consider the size of an adult rodent: otherwise, burrows and other items will become obsolete too fast and can cause problems, such as animal entrapment.
