So I know there are a ton of other people asking this but I'm still not sure. What is the best food? Whenever I got my chin he came with a bag of guinea pig food which I thought was weird but they said it was ok. It is the kind that has pellets and a bunch of other little shapes, dexter would...

So I noticed today that little dexter had patches of fur missing just below his ears, I didn't notice them before and found some bits of fur in his cage. I heard it might be ringworm?

Hello! I really need some advice 😣 I share a room with my little sister and my male chinchilla. My sister had a lizard that recently died (she was devastated), she decided that now she wants to get a rat. So I started doing some research and found that it is possible for rats to transmit...
