Hi there! Today Im going to debunk some common myths and misconceptions for our friends.
Rats and mice LOVE cheese.
While I'm sure they love to eat cheese, cheese is not suitable for them.
Rabbits only live for 2-3 years.
Rabbits can live for 7-11 years (hehe, see what I did there? 7-11 like the store. hehe, I'm so funny)
Mice are super aggressive.
Mice can be very friendly. Not all of them, though. Lots of mouse owners have outstanding bonds with their mice.
To cool off your chinchilla, use a fan.
Fans will only work if the chinchilla is sweating, but the thing is, chinchillas don't sweat. So fans won't cool them off in the hot summer
Ferrets must be caged.
Like a cat or dog, ferrets can run about your house. Just remember to ferret-proof your home first.
Gerbils are herbivors
Much like hamsters, gerbils are also omnivores. Meaning they eat both meat and veggies.
Hamsters climb the bars of their cage for fun.
While it is cute, when hamsters do this, it is a sign of stress. Hamsters generally do this when the cage is too small.
I hope this has informed you! Have a wonderful day!
Love, Elyse Fancy Pants
