Keeping Your Pet Rat Safe Outside The Cage

Rats enjoy chewing. To prevent unfavorable situations, make sure the space has been properly rat-proofed. Rats require social and physical and emotional stimulation while they are not in their enclosures.

When a pet rat is taken out of its cage, it will start exploring every corner of the space. Your pet rat will take advantage of these opportunities to explore the environment with his jaws and nose, nibbling on everything that attracts his interest.

Keep any valuable things or ones that are potentially harmful away from your rat's range. The best solution is an area with a hard surface; make sure that loose carpet edges must be fixed. You must keep or seal electrical wires in a way that prevents your pet rat from biting them. To reduce the likelihood that your pet will pick through items that are better left alone, try to keep him occupied with rat-safe toys.

Any sign of illness exhibited by your pet should require a visit to your veterinary hospital Derby for proper medical attention.

Soaking Bowls In Your Pet’s Lizard’s Enclosure

 

Lizards make interesting pets. These reptiles possess unique characteristics that make them adorable to care for. One specific trait of lizards is their ability to shed skin.

This happening is a necessity for them and is part of their growth and development. As their owner, you must help your pet lizards effectively and efficiently accomplish this need. But, how?

Prepare an open, shallow bowl for them, and fill it with clean water. What is the purpose of this bowl? Your pet lizards love soaking their bodies in the water, especially if they feel hot.

Soaking also helps lizards shed their skin. However, if your lizards do not voluntarily soak themselves, be the one to put them in. You may also mist their skin using a plant mister at least 2 to 3 times a week to promote shedding. Misting and soaking are effective, particularly for bearded dragons.

When you have tried soaking your lizards many times already, but their skin does pull off, do not try to remove it yourself. Pulling manually may cause damage to your pets’ skin, the bones, or the muscles underneath. Bring your lizards to the bet for the necessary treatment.

Consult your veterinary clinic Derby about the best ways to protect your pet from various health issues.
