You share your home with a hamster and you want to make sure you are there for her every step of the way. How can you keep your pet in shape?

Your pet needs you to consider the fact that her wild counterparts get a ton of exercise each and every day. She is made to head from one area to another in search of food and staying out of harm’s way. While these activities may not be necessary in your home, your pet’s body does still need to move about quite a bit. You can help her stay in shape by offering her plenty of time outside of her enclosure and encouraging her to take part in play that will keep her moving around. You should also make sure there is space in her enclosure for her to move about freely as well. For more information, please contact your local Edison Park, FL veterinarian.
