You’ve brought home a pocket pet, and are now noticing the hazards around your home. How can you keep your pet safe?

Your pet is confined to his cage the majority of the time, so do your best to keep this space safe and comfortable. Be sure that your pet’s cage is placed in an area away from drastic temperature changes and areas that are likely to be bumped into. It should also be out of reach of young children and other pets. When your pet is outside of his cage, provide proper supervision and create a safe space for your pet to roam. Remove any small items that may be ingested, as well as any toxic items. Also eliminate any small spaces or other areas that your pet may become stuck or entangled within.  Your local South Boston vet can help you care for your pet.
