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.

Rabbits are chewers. Their teeth are constantly growing, so they need to chew to keep them worn down. Provide plenty of rabbit safe wooden chew toys. Confine him to a certain area that has been "rabbit proofed". Secure all wires and move furniture or restrict access possible. Correct inappropriate chewing immediately and provide a wooden toy. Praise and reward him with a small treat when he complies. Be patient and be consistent.

Thank you for using Boop by Petco! Teething toys such as nylabones for small dogs can be helpful. You can also moisten Bandits kibble with water or offer a small amount of canned cat food - any brand is fine, but you may want to try something specific for kittens that is high in protein.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Chewing is a normal but frustrating part of puppy development. I do not recommend rawhides or dogbones for puppies, as they can cause an upset tummy or large pieces can get swallowed and cause a GI obstruction. A great option for chewing puppies are ice cubes. You can mix together water and a small amount of low sodium chicken broth to give them flavoring, which are great options for chewing! Kong toys or other rubber toys are a great option, and they can be filled with peanut butter or spray cheese, then put in the freezer o allow them to last longer. Puzzle toys (such as busy buddy, etc) can also be great options. Good luck!

Have you considered a guinea pig? Guinea pigs are relatively affordable pets and are considered a good companions and social. But, bear in mind that guinea pigs do best when paired with another guinea pig of the same sex, which can increase your costs. The guinea pigs need a large cage to live in, which usually cost less than $50. Bedding, food and toys can get pricey, but you can save by purchasing fresh veggies on sale.
