Caring for Animal Companions

What if you were stuck in a room the size of your closet—all day, everyday—and were only allowed out when the closet was being cleaned and maybe to play every once in a while? That would stink, huh? Well, that’s what life is like for mice, turtles, rabbits, and other wild animals who are cooped up in tanks and cages 24/7. These animals deserve the chance to live their lives in their natural habitats, so please think about that before bringing a new friend home.

But suppose that you’ve already got a mouse in the house, or you’re already sharing your room with Myrtle the turtle or Jake the snake? Well, that’s OK because we’re sure that you’re doing everything that you can to give him or her the best life ever, right? That’s the least that you can do for your best bud! So, visit the "How You Can Help!" section to the right for tips on how you can keep your companions healthy and happy!
