(sorry I'm a pet care specialist for PetsMart, and know from experience. but please keep in mind I do not know everything . I've been in the department for two years. and have been a lover of small rodents even longer and owner for longer)
Time and space is what they will need. when you clean their cage. I recommend scooping them up from behind with a soft wash cloth. and recommend using Aspen bedding or Carefresh. this way they are not lying on a bunch of smelly oils (as their respatory systems are very small and fragile.) best of luck. if you have any questions I will try to answer them to the best of my knowledge. But also I'm sure everyone else has great advise on here as everyone is great and has taught me a lot. congrats on the new ones |
Thanks so much!! I did read up a little a few nights ago and I hope she dont eat them!! She hasn't yet, and I saw that you shouldn't touch them. Thank goodness i read that.. I think there may be 4 or 5 not sure?? we are all so excited.. Someone said I shouldn't clean out the cage for 2 weeks? Is that ture?? Also Thank goodness I just cleaned it out the night before... Thanks again for your great tips!! I need it....
