http://www.practical-pet-care.com/ebooks_rodents.php

Extractions: We all want our beloved rodents to be happy and healthy. This means paying the vet hundreds of dollars for exams, right? No! Ask any vet the care your rodent gets at home has far more effect on his health than any vet exam. In fact, most vets give out advice along with prescriptions advice that could have prevented the illness in the first place! Wouldn't you like to have that advice now, before you have to hear it from your vet? Rats, mice, gerbils, hamsters, and guinea pigs all have different needs. For instance, guinea pigs cannot metabolize vitamin C on their own, so you must provide it in their diet every day, or they can develop serious, and even fatal, health problems. Rats and mice don't have this problem, however. Understanding your rodent's diet needs is easy, will keep him healthier and happier, and can prevent expensive treatments in the future. Note: we are not saying you will never have to visit the vet again! Vet care is important to your pet's health. However, with the care techniques in this book, you can prevent a multitude of costly illnesses with just a little knowledge!

http://www.exoticpetvet.net/primate/care.html

Extractions: Bill Parsons, M.S. Small animal veterinarians, especially those who treat birds, reptiles or other exotics, may occasionally be called upon to examine and treat unusual species of animals not often kept as pets. Some exotic animals are purchased for their uniqueness, with little thought given to how to care for them. As a veterinarian, it will be beneficial for you to know some basic information about the care of callitrichids, marmosets and tamarins, as they are increasing in popularity as pets. Marmosets and tamarins are small, South American monkeys that are members of the callitrichid family. All are considered threatened in the wild, and many are endangered. Because of their appeal, people are interested in owning them as pets. Hand-raised, bottle-fed babies are quite charming, but with the onset of sexual maturity, they become unpredictable, aggressive and dangerous to humans - including their owners. Consequently, people should be discouraged from keeping them as pets. If a client is set on owning a callitrichid, however, he or she should be steered toward a tamarin instead of a marmoset, as they tend to have more stable personalities as adults and are not as aggressive or unpredictable.

http://goto.glocalnet.net/natal/pcd.htm

Extractions: I think it is very interesting that people have so many different views on the topic of pet care. I have been thinking about this a lot. Some people I know use the smallest cages they possibly can and they give their animals the cheapest and easiest-to-feed kind of food to the animals, in order to be able to keep as many animals as possible for breeding purposes. Some of these people, when asked, of course have totally other views on pet care than the person with just a few highly beloved pets. This is exactly as with dog owners. Some dog owners think it is totally ok to leave the dog alone all day, and take it out on a 5 minute pee walk once in a while. Other dog owners would feel that it is totally unthinkable to leave such a highly social animal as a dog alone all day, and would also take the dog out for long walks every day. Some dog owner's fool themselves by getting two dogs and think that two dogs may be happier together in the absence of their owner. But two lonely dogs are just two lonely dogs, waiting for their owner. It is better to pay somebody to walk the dog during the day, or even pay somebody (a human companion) to

Extractions: Return to Pocket Pets Page Care of Pet Mice and Rats November/December 1994 Vol. F, No. 6 Veterinary Practice STAFF This information leaflet is designed as a method of communication between veterinarians and clients who own pet mice or rats. The environment, handling, and diet of these rodents are discussed, and common health problems specific to each species are explored. If you have any questions, be sure to ask your veterinarian to answer them for you. Mice and rats make excellent pets when they are properly cared for (Table 1). These timid, social rodents are fun to watch while they perform their natural behaviors of burrowing, searching for food, and playing. Pet rats and mice have periods of activity during both day and night. They seldom bite when handled with care. Diet Good quality food and clean, fresh water should be available at all times for your pet mouse or rat. pelleted rodent rations which are processed as dry blocks or pellets are recommended. Typical maintenance diets should contain about 14% protein and 4 to 5% fat, while diets for growth and reproduction should contain 17 to 19% protein and 7 to 11% fat. While many rodents prefer sunflower-based diets to pellets, seeds are low in calcium and high in fat and cholesterol. When fed exclusively, seed-based diets can lead to obesity and nutritional deficiencies. It is best to give your pet mouse or rat seeds only as a supplement to a pelleted diet, or as a treat. Many factors can affect your pet rodent's food intake. Such factors may include environment temperature and humidity, food quality, breeding status, and health status. On average, an adult mouse will consume about 15 g of feed and 15 ml of water per 100 g body weight daily. Comparatively, an adult rat will consume approximately 5 g of feed and 10 ml of water per 100 g body weight daily. Both rats and mice typically eat at night. Water should be provided in bottles equipped with sipper tubes. Tubes should be positioned low enough to allow the pet easy access. Inadequate water consumption can result in dehydration, lower body weight, infertility, and, even death. Empty, clean, and refill your rodent's water bottle with fresh water each day.

http://www.animed.org/small_animal_dental_care.htm

Extractions: I. Small Animal: Dental Care INDEX Do you know what makes your little critter so unique? Her teethand all the chewing she does with them! It's no surprise that the name "rodent" comes from "rodere," a Latin word that means to gnaw. Read on to find out how to keep your pet's dentition in tip-top condition. Wonder why your pet is always gnawing on something? Her front incisor teeth, like those of all mice, rats, hamsters, gerbils and guinea pigs, grow continuously throughout her life. The average rat's incisors, for example, grow at the amazing rate of around five inches every year. Another thing you may have noticed about your pet is that her choppers aren't exactly pearly white. It's perfectly normal and perfectly healthy for a companion rodent's teeth to be yellowy-orange or almost brownish in color. This hue is due to the presence of iron in the tooth's enamel. To keep her teeth properly worn down and maintain their sharp shape, your furry friend has to chew...and chew...and chew! You can help her simply by providing safe, appropriate items on which she can gnaw. You'll find a good selection of chew toys, made from a variety of materials from wood to cardboard, at the pet supply store. Small bits of hard dog biscuit can be given to hamsters, rats and mice for chewing, but please don't give any of these to your herbivorous guinea pigs. Be sure to regularly check your pet's chew toys for any loose bits that could get stuck in her throat if accidentally ingested.

Extractions: INDEX Did you know that there are substances in your home that are poisonous to your pet? You can easily find all of these products in stores. In fact, pet owners buy and use them regularly. But by reading labels; keeping informed of what substances are dangerous; and keeping these products out of your pet's reach, you can substantially reduce the chances that your dog or cat will become poisoned. Flea and tick control products can cause serious toxic reactions when misused. This includes shampoos, sprays, dips and formulas that treat the environment. Symptoms of poisoning may appear 1 to 6 hours after exposure and include muscle tremors, vomiting, excessive salivation and difficulty in breathing. Make sure to follow manufacturer's instructions when using flea and tick control products on your pets. Never use a formula that's meant for dogs on your cat, and vice versa.

http://happypets.addr.com/others.htm

Extractions: Mice, Rats, Gerbills and Hamsters. These little sweeties are often chosen as pets for the first time animal guardian because they are relatively low maintenace and have gentle dispositions. Nutrition Commercial rodent pellets are available for Gerbils and Hamsters at pet stores. All four creatures have similar diets so if you have a rat, gerbil pellets are fine. For a more palatable diet, supplement the pellets with diced fruit and seeds, but dont overdo it. These little guys have habit of filling up on the yummy stuff and ignoring the pellets, and eating that way will not satisfy their daily nutritional needs. Housing As the popularity of keeping small animals increases, more and more cages designed for them are appearing in pet stores all over. But, I recommend a glass aquarium with a screen cover. Ferrets - More like a cat than a rodent when it comes to care and maintenance. Rabbits - A hunny bunny can be a great pet if some basic needs are met.

http://www.caringtogether.com/exotics/micerats2.html

Extractions: As stated above, domestic mice and rats generally tolerate gentle handling, though both may bite if startled or handled roughly. Mice are more likely to bite than rats under these circumstances. In fact, mice housed alone are more likely to be aggressive with a handler than those housed in groups. Cage territoriality (possessiveness) may be exhibited by some pet rats. We have encountered a large number of pet rats, normally docile in nature, that attack the fingers or hands of a handler opening and entering its enclosure. This aggressive behavior is not noted when attempts to pick up these rats are made outside of their enclosures. It is customary to pick up a mouse by gently lifting it up by the tail and placing it into a cupped hand. If a more secure hold is necessary (giving medications or food orally), the handler may grasp or pinch as much skin as possible over the neck, just behind the head. The mouse can then be picked up and turned over on its back by rotating the wrist. The tail can be restrained by gently grasping it between the fourth (ring) and fifty (pinkie) fingers of the same hand. Rats can be lifted by their tail but great caution must be exercised in doing so The skin of a rat's tail can easily tear, so it is best to grasp only the base of the tail. Further, suspending the entire weight of a rat by its tail is, no doubt, painful for the rat. Therefore, this practice should be only momentary. Tail-lifting a rat that is grasping a fabric (wire mesh, etc.) may injure the tail and may also break or tear the toenails.

Extractions: How to Avoid Diseases Transmitted by Your Pets In 58 million American households pets are a source of joy and perhaps even the key to longer, healthier lives. However, pet-owning households with young children, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems need to be aware that their animals can play host to disease-causing microorganisms. Humans are not likely to catch a disease through their pets, but in very rare cases it can happen. Fortunately, most of these diseases rarely occur in healthy individuals, are mild and can be easily treated. Others, like toxoplasmosis , can be far more serious. Diseases transmitted from animals to humans are called zoonotic diseases. Zoonotic diseases usually live out their complex life cycles in animals, but sometimes cross into human bodies. Usually contracting a pet-borne disease requires very close contact with animals or their excretions, so zoonotic diseases can be avoided with common sense, cleanliness and regular pet examinations and vaccinations. Children often put their hands in their mouths, providing an easy route for bacteria to travel into their bodies. For example, children who eat dirt are more susceptible to contracting zoonotic diseases. Children also are more susceptible to pet-borne illness because they carry fewer antibodies than adults do. The same holds true for puppies and kittens, making them more likely to carry disease than older dogs and cats.

The Rat Zapper tm is a safe and humane way to kill rats and mice. This "better mousetrap" uses advanced electronic technology to deliver a deadly shock to rats and mice. With the Rat Zapper, there is no blood, guts or gore like there is with snap traps. Also, because no poison is used, rodents do not escape just to die in hard to reach places (like within your walls). They don't die slowly from dehydration like they do on glue boards. Your hand never has to come close to touching a dead rodent. In fact, you never have to see the rodent if you don't want to. The Rat Zapper is safe around pets and children. The amount of energy producted by the Rat Zapper is intentionally limited by use of batteries and circuit design, virtually eliminating the possibility of injury occurring to children or pets.
