Why smallfurryfriend.com? We noticed that some people want to own pets that are neither cats nor dogs. Also, some people prefer having some small cage pets instead of pets running around in the house. We, therefore, opted to do research on some small furry pets that are considered great cage pets. Good to note is that pets are not for everyone. We optimized our research to help you gauge whether your chosen small furry friend is right for you. To make things even easier for you, smallfurryfriend.com has included short clips. These show you how various things are done, for example, cleaning cages and DIY projects among other things.

In our research we wanted to cover everything. Step by step! From acquiring your favored pet to caring for him or her. This includes but not limited to:

• The pet’s lifespan
• The minimum age the pet should be when bringing him or her home
• What age your child should be to care for the small furry pets
• Whether the pet is nocturnal or diurnal
• How to handle the pet.
• The recommended cages, bedding and accessories your pet requires (considering factors like what have other owners used and found working? Is this healthy for my pet? Can I afford this? Is this durable? Do I have space in my house?)
• How to feed your chosen small furry pets (what, how and when do I feed my pet?)
• Guide to perform health checks.
• Some do’s and don’ts
• How to travel with the particular small furry friend
