Your household has recently grown by one furry little mouse, and you couldn’t be happier with your new addition. However, you know that she is still getting used to her new home, and you haven’t exactly bonded with her the way you’d like to. How can you further this relationship?

It’s important to remember that you are much bigger than your pet, and until she gets to know you as a friend and not a threat, she may be a bit wary of your company. Being consistent in your care and offering her everything she needs will show her that she can depend on you. It will also help her learn to trust you. Once this trust is established, playtime will be much more fun as she will be more comfortable with this type of interaction. For more information, please contact your local Livonia, MI veterinarian.
