What do small animals need in their habitat?

Small animal habitats have several important necessities. Obviously, food is vital for their health and well-being- so ensuring they have the proper food sources is crucial. Water is equally as important for hydration, either in a bottle or a bowl. There should be shelter inside since they are accustomed to hiding- whether that's in a tunnel or small box. Adequate space and enrichment opportunities that provide physical and mental stimulation are important, as well.

What is the best habitat for small animals?

The best habitat for small animals depends on the species. While some can do well in a glass or acrylic aquarium with a mesh lid, many need homes with better ventilation. Also, keep in mind where you'll place their home within your home. Never situate small animal habitats near vents or heating devices. Additionally, do not place your habitat on the floor or in front of windows.

How big should a small animal habitat be?

The habitat for your small animal depends on its size, age, and species. Of course, the more space they have, the better. For example, a hamster can thrive in an area that's 24 inches by 12 inches by 12 inches, but a chinchilla needs a much larger wire cage at around 36 inches by 24 inches by 36 inches. Consult your vet with any questions.

What are the different types of small animal habitats?

There are many kinds of small animal habitats and enclosures. These range in materials and style. Materials can be wire, glass, wood, acrylic, and plastic. Styles can be single-level, multi-level, vertical, or horizontal. Use your pet's species to guide which habitat to choose, and consult your vet if you have any questions.
