GUINEA PIG RESOURCES
We often find that smaller pets are perfect for Hong Kong living but there isn’t a lot of space devoted to our smaller friends! Here are some useful links for Guinea Pig owners.
Keep an eye on nails, they seem to grow very fast, use a nail clipper – you can trim the nails safely.
Every so often they need a bath, best an adult do this as wet guinea pigs can be slippery. There is a section on the ‘Everything Guinea Pigs’ link for bathing piglets and how to make them feel safe.
RABBIT RESOURCES
If you have a rabbit and are interested in finding out more about his/her behaviour please check the links passed on to us from bunny lovers. They’re very informative and comprehensive.
The House Rabbit Society website is a great tool for advice and learning about rabbit’s behaviour, housing, special requirements and diet.
It also covers common aggression and nipping behaviour in rabbits and how to deal with this as well as training in communicating clearly with your rabbit and forming a good relationship between you!
