Pocket pets are small animals such as mice, chinchillas, ferrets, hamsters, gerbils, rabbits, rats, sugar gliders, and guinea pigs.
The name ‘pocket pet’ came from the thought that these pets are small enough to be kept in a shirt pocket. These pets are perfect for those who embrace city living and might have limited home space to keep a pet. Before adopting a pocket pet, make sure you perform plenty of research on the animal to learn everything you need before committing to a pocket pet. These little furry creatures are too small to steal food from the dinner table, but they are the perfect size for stealing your heart.
Pocket pets are quite popular due to their small size and it’s very important to note they do have many special needs you need to prepare for in advance. Proper care and diet are critical to keeping these small pets healthy. Some pocket pets may not be suitable for small children.
The team at Blue Lake Animal Hospital recommends owners of critically ill parrots and reptiles visit a board-certified exotic veterinarian.
