Small pets like hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits get sick quietly but quickly.
1. Check eating and droppings.
If your pet isn’t eating or its droppings change, it’s time to act. Digestive blockages are common and dangerous.
2. Keep them warm and hydrated.
Offer fresh water and soft bedding. Avoid stress — even noise can make them worse.
3. Offer gentle food.
Grated carrot, hay, or small bits of apple can help. Never force-feed unless a vet advises.
4. See a vet early.
These little ones can’t wait — small bodies mean fast changes.
Gentle hands and close observation save lives with small animals.
