Can I buy accommodation for small pets from you?
Can I buy accommodation for small pets from you?
Unfortunately, we are not able to supply accommodation for small pet species.
It’s extremely important that even our smallest of animals are provided with plenty of space to enable them to engage in natural behaviours.
The links below will give you more information about providing high welfare accommodation for these species, including tips on how to build your own:
I’m looking for a friend for my small pet. Can you help?
I’m looking for a friend for my small pet. Can you help?
Yes, we can help you find a companion for your existing small pet.
Companionship of the same species is so important for the wellbeing of many small animals. We have a range of helpful information in the advice section of our website about the process of introducing your pet to a new friend, and our team can support you with advice throughout the process to help things go smoothly at home.
We also offer a mixing service where your small pet can come and stay at our centre. This involves them being mixed with another pet in neutral territory under the watchful eye of an experienced member of the team. Once they are ready to go home together, we’ll also provide guidance on settling them in and helping them continue to bond in their home environment. The service is available for rabbits, guinea pigs, rats and mice.
