Small animals have gotten "big" as pets according to the latest survey; there are millions of rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, mice and other pint-sized critters sharing our homes with us today. If these furry little pets could talk to us, most of them would say the same thing, "Let’s play!" In fact, playing is almost as important to the health and well being of a small animal as food and shelter. Sometimes it’s easy for us to overlook our pets, because they’re small and they don’t walk around the house freely the way dogs and cats do, but these are intelligent, social animals that need to play and interact with people. Rabbits are now the third most popular animal pet in the United Kingdom, following cats and dogs, but few owners understand their behavioural needs. Many pet rabbits develop problems, which could be avoided if their living conditions were adapted to allow them to follow their natural instincts. Likewise diet and feeding are very important and often misunderstood by pet lovers causing problems with there health. This section covers behaviour, health, feeding and natural remedies for small animals.
