Small Mammal & Pocket Pet Care | Expert San Diego Check-Ins

Whether you have a bonded pair of bunnies, a talkative guinea pig, or a busy hamster, my specialized small mammal check-in service ensures your tiniest family members stay safe and nourished. I understand that exotic small mammals have fragile systems and specific environmental needs that require a precise, expert hand.

  • Dietary Precision: I follow your exact feeding protocols, from measuring species-specific pellets to preparing fresh “salad” plates and ensuring Timothy hay racks are always overflowing.
  • Habitat Hygiene: Clean bedding is vital for respiratory health. I provide spot-cleaning of enclosures, litter box refreshes, and ensure water bottles are scrubbed and functioning perfectly.
  • Wellness Monitoring: Small mammals are experts at hiding illness. I perform thorough visual checks, monitoring for normal activity levels, bright eyes, and healthy “output” (poop) to ensure no signs of GI stasis or distress.
  • Safe Socialization: For social mammals like rats or chinchillas, i provide out-of-cage supervised playtime or gentle handling, always respecting their individual comfort zones.
