FURRIES
Small furries such as rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, rats, mice, gerbils and hamsters are very cute and, with the right care, can be very cuddly but they have complex needs. The food you feed your small furry pet is the single most important thing you can do for their health, happiness and wellbeing so read Feeding Your Small Furry Pet , which gives you information about their nutritional needs, what’s in their pet food and how much you should feed them.
Whilst the Small Furries are grouped together by their shared characteristics (i.e. being small and furry!), they very much have their own personalities and needs.
