Thanks for reaching out. Sound like you have a full house. 1. Birds will often bond together but continue to work with them in a quiet environ, offering treats to win and re-enforce trust. Toys, the radio or tv, can all assist with boredom. Setting up foraging toys so birds need to spend time looking for food. 2. There is no such thing as too big a cage. 3. Heating rocks are rarely approved for use, as they will eventually become faulty and get too hot, potentially damaging the animal. A heat lamp is recommended. 4. The bunny's litter box should be spot cleaned daily and full clean weekly. If you can smell it you waited too long. Good luck.

Any potential eye infection or injury should be considered veterinary emergencies. Atticus should be examined by your veterinarian, a veterinary ophthalmologist or at the nearest veterinary ER as soon as you can. Ideally, any new pet should be examined by a veterinarian within 72 hours of arriving home to confirm good health or to diagnose and treat any pre existing conditions.

Yes, most pet stores have a small animal section with a variety of toys. Look for chew toys with safe woods such as willow, apple, birch, spruce and aspen. Soft toys and exercise wheels are also good options.

Hi, Hedgehogs are very sensitive to environmental temperature and may behave abnormally if the temperature is out of range. Make sure the temperature in the cage is 72-80F. If his behavior has been abnormal in face of appropriate temperatures, then I would be more worried about an illness and recommend a visit to your veterinarian.

Oh my, he does looks quite sick. He looks quite old as well. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do at home for him. If you wanted to give him the best chance at survival you would need to get him to a vet for an exam. Hopefully the vet will be able to treat him (depending on what he has going on). If they cannot treat him or he has a life-threatening illness then they can at least humanely euthanize him so he doesn't suffer. Thank you for looking out for this little guy. Best wishes.
