Providing a safe, stimulating environment is key to a happy and healthy rodent. Ensure their enclosure is spacious, well-ventilated, and enriched with appropriate bedding for burrowing, wheels for exercise, and chew toys to keep their teeth healthy. A balanced diet consisting of high-quality rodent food, fresh vegetables in moderation, and constant access to fresh water is crucial. Regular handling from a young age will help them become tame and comfortable with human interaction.
