About This Site
Due to their size, small pets are often mistreated because people see them as toys, not living things. At Care for your Critters, we want to stop misinformation about proper care for small mammals and give people an easy resource that is a complete guide on how to care for a small pet.
Why this site was created...
This site was created by a Girl Scout for their Silver Award Project. The project requires 50 or more hours of service and must be a permanent positive change on the world. This site's creator chose this path for their project because they owned multiple guinea pigs and hamsters and in their long research in preparation for them realized two things:
-
Many people mistreat hamsters and small pets.
-
People do so not because they do not care about their pet, but because there is so much misinformation about proper care and good information is hard to find.
So, this site has information on every aspect of care for hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and rats. We always recommend doing additional research as well.
