Trying to find a small pet that can roam around a room safely probably not a ferret because I have a hamster in the same room could a guinea pig or rabbit be Free roamed in the room or is there any other pets that could thank you
A rabbit may be let out to roam. They are easily litterbox trained as well. You would need to fully "rabbit proof" the room though. This would entail keeping all wires, and anything else that could cause harm if chewed, out of reach.

I want to bye a rabbit please guide me to choose a best rabbit for me
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I really like the angora and mini lop breeds as they are beautiful and fun to keep. Try to get to see the rabbit you are choosing for a bit so that you can make sure that he is social and interactive. Also, make sure that the rabbit is eating well and has been evaluated by a veterinarian to ensure that he is doing well. Good luck!

My rabbit has 2 tiny ticks holding onto her eyelids of one eye which can’t be removed. Is there a way to get rid of them? I was able to remove one tick from her ear but this area is very sensitive for her. The fur around both her eyes are matted from
Thanks for reaching out about Stuart Little and including photos. A few things. First, the ectoparasites around the eyes appear to be stick-tight fleas and a once-a-,month topical medication called Revolution should work well. Your veterinarian should be able to prescribe even in lock down. Second, the lesion on the ear/face area needs to be shaved, gently cleaned with a warm wet washcloth and a mild soap. If continues to be crusty, a veterinarian is needed to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Check inside of the ear for crusts, this could be ear mites and the cause of the facial mass. Revolution should treat this well also. Lastly, rabbits need to be spayed as they have a very high incidence of uterine cancer. Good luck.

My dog ate the food after some time suddenly he is trembling , head tilt, back legs can't able to walk limbing, fingers stiffen . After 2 to 3 min he was back to the normal. Is there any major issues please i request you to answer the question as soo
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Peter! How old is Peter? The most common condition that causes trouble walking, falling over, head tilt and trembling is Vestibular disease. This is a problem with the balance center in either the brain or the inner ear. Possible causes are an ear infection, stroke, low thyroid, a brain tumor or if he is just old it can be idiopathic (meaning we don't know why). I have seen dogs become Vestibular and then be normal that quickly, though usually the signs can persist for up to 2 weeks. I am not sure about the relation to the food you are feeding. If he shows the symptoms again I would immediately take him to your Vet for an exam. Consider video taping it so you can show them in case it goes away quickly again. I hope this helps and I wish you and Peter the best!

My wife and I bought a mini-pig a while back. He is now 7 months old. He is getting fleas. I know that the fleas don't bother him, but they jump off on us. I thought about a flea collar, but I think that it wouldn't stay on and knowing him, he would
Frontline, Advantage, and Advantix for dogs are safe for pigs if you follow the weigh dosing. You can get them at your vet's clinic, and I would ask the staff for help with getting the correct dose for Sampson.
