Explore Petco's wide selection of Carefresh products and explore their all natural approach to pet bedding and food for small animals. Carefresh's commitment to keeping their products healthy and fresh ensures that their small animal bedding is made from scratch and that their food features 10 real fruits and vegetables.
When selecting colors to go into their products, Carefresh specifically uses those with a history of human use and are never tested on animals. In addition to using natural colors, Carefresh also refuses to use bleach in their white pet bedding products, so you can provide your pet with a comfortable area to rest that's made from virgin reclaimed paper fibers. Carefresh now offers new species specific bedding, so hamsters, guinea pigs, chinchillas and more can each get their perfect fit. Because Carefresh natural paper fibers are three times more absorbent than wood shavings, your small animal can stay warm and dry longer. The unique Carefresh Odor Stop formula can keep small animal cages smelling fresh for up to 10 days by suppressing ammonia odors.
To ensure your pet's safety, Carefresh food and bedding products go through rigorous quality assurance procedures and third party testing and adhere to established safety guidelines mandated by regulatory and animal welfare agencies. All Carefresh products are reviewed by veterinarians and other experts to ensure animal health, so if your pet nibbles a little bedding out of curiosity or habit, they'll be safe.
Carefresh is constantly evolving to meet pet parent's expectations from the food they provide their small animals. From changing the hay in their Carefresh rabbit food products, to dropping artificially shaped pellets in favor of natural and healthy treats like carrots, sweet potato and apple, Carefresh goes out of their way to provide your small animals with the highest quality ingredients they can find.

I recommend to stick with toys meant for rodents. It's hard to know if toxicity is a potential concern but the small threads could become wrapped around his teeth. Many mice like to chew on cardboard boxes and toilet paper rolls. They also make wooden toys for rodents. The clear exercise balls and a running wheel will also be fun for Frankie. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Hello, and thanks for using Boop by Petco. There are lots of reasons why a snake might go on a hunger strike, but it sounds like you've narrowed it down to a food preference. Rats are a bit more nutritious and ideally preferable over mice, but mice are also a perfectly acceptable option. Some snakes simply prefer them, in which case you are welcome to keep feeding Luminescence mice, and depending on her size she may simply need multiple mice per feeding as she grows. If you want to encourage her to switch to rats, you can try rubbing a dead mouse or mouse bedding on the rat prior to offering it, to give the rat a more familiar scent. Keep trying - but don't stress if the end result is she ends up staying on mice. Hope this helps!

Clean around the nest and cage until the pups are about 2 weeks old. Try not to disturb the nest before then. After 2 weeks, you can scoop the nest and pups up in one scoop, clean the cage and replace the nest.

Enrofloxacin would work best in these cases. Any veterinarian can diagnose and treat such a presentation, which is likely to be caused by a respiratory tract infection/inflammation. I would strongly recommend a check up at your local veterinarian.

Hi! I think the problem is that when your parents do not approve, you are not able to adopt any animal. This will only be possible with your parent's approval. So I think you are going to have to find out everything you can about the type of animal you want, and how to keep it properly and then work on your parents, showing them that you are responsible enough to take care of an animal. Also save up a bit of money to show that you are serious about fully caring for your pet, I think eventually they will think that you are ready for it and take you to the store or help you adopt a mouse.
