Poor hygiene is one of the top factors of many pocket
pets' illnesses. For instance, seldom cage cleaning may damage your pet's
respiratory passage. It's because ammonia builds up from urine. Then, your pet
inhales the respiratory passage-damaging ammonia. With a damaged breathing
passage, the animal becomes more likely to acquire health problems. Follow
these hygiene tips to avoid this:
●Clean your pets' cage or enclosure daily to
eliminate leftover food and waste materials.
●Keep your pets' shelters dry and clean.
●Use mild bleach in washing the cages. Dry the
enclosures thoroughly before adding new layers of pet bedding.
●You may place a towel-wrapped heating pad
under the cage to keep your pets warm during cold weather. Just be sure that
you set the heat pad to "low."
If your pet is showing any signs of illness, make an
appointment with your animal hospital
