Common Problems a
Small Mammal Can Experience

As small animal vet experts, we have an in-depth understanding regarding the common health issues and problems they can experience. We’re dedicated to equipping our pet parents with deeper knowledge of their animal’s needs, so they know how best to care for their precious pet.

Tooth

Many small animals experience dental issues and cause them discomfort. Signs include bad breath, drooling, and difficulty eating.

Bug

All small mammals need protection from fleas, mites, ticks and worms. Our team can advise on the best preventative care for your pet.

Carrot

Digestive issues can be common in small animals. Speak to our team if your pet’s appetite changes or they begin passing abnormal stools.

A Small Animal's Diet

Your small mammal’s optimal diet will depend on their specific species, breed, size and maturity. However, across the board, small animals typically need a good level of fibre, vitamins and minerals in their diet. If you have any queries regarding your pet’s diet, our small animal veterinarian team can advise you on your species’ diet specifically.

Apple

A high fibre diet is typically beneficial to all small animals. Fibre supports their digestive and dental health, and can help prevent chronic disease.

Tear

Fresh, clean water should always be easily available to your small animal.

Leaf

Herbivores like rabbits, chinchillas and guinea pigs should have a 75-80% diet of hay, 15-20% of fresh vegetables, and 5% of pellets or fruit.

We’re the UK’s only online veterinary service exclusive to exotic pets, including many small mammals. No matter where you are, our expert team can offer you appropriate support over the telephone or via video call.

There are many reasons why a small animal may be experiencing lethargy. From obesity to dehydration, anaemia to ageing. A video call with one of our small animal vet experts is a great place to start when your pet is showing signs of lethargy.
It’s common for many fur-covered small animals to shed their coats at regular intervals throughout the year. Our team will be able to advise you on what’s normal for your pet and whether their current coat condition is optimal.
If you can feel a small layer of fat but find your pet’s ribs easily, this usually means they’re of a healthy weight. If you have to press hard to feel their ribs, this can indicate they’re overweight. Obesity in small animals can cause a host of other health problems down the line. Our team can guide you on your pet’s dietary and exercise needs.
