Some of the most adorable pets are small enough to fit in the pocket, like gerbils, hamsters, fancy mice and rats, and sugar gliders. With a little patience, consistent gentle handling, and a bag of reward treats, these pocket pets can be trained to respond to their owner’s voice and perform simple tricks. There are also the bigger furry mammals that can rest on their owner’s lap and romp around with the children, like guinea pigs, rabbits, and ferrets.
Here at RightPet, you will find descriptions and care tips for a broad collection of small mammals that are widely loved as pets. Maybe you’re considering acquiring a fancy rodent, a cuddly bunny, or a show cavy – RightPet and its members are here to help you decide.
