Rabbits are very sociable animals.
They prefer to live together in family groups or larger groups.
A rabbit should therefore never be kept individually, but at least in a "double pack".
But the chemistry has to be right!
Siblings and rabbits that grow up together from an early age get along best.
These robust gerbils have recently gained a firm place among popular pets.
As their original home is the Mongolian-Chinese steppe, they need a dry home that is protected from draughts.
Their name says it all!
They need enough space to run and, above all, sufficient exercise every day.
Guinea pigs need enough space and plenty of exercise.
Too little space quickly causes stress and makes them ill.
Guinea pigs need plenty of exercise, as they are excellent runners and jumpers despite their short legs!
Without conspecifics, social guinea pigs are unhappy, and other animals are no substitute - they absolutely need other guinea pigs around them.
