Small but not simple
Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and chinchillas each have different needs; adults should take responsibility.
Space & diet
Big enclosures and daily free roam for rabbits and guinea pigs. Unlimited hay keeps ever-growing teeth healthy; guinea pigs need daily vitamin C. Avoid pine and cedar bedding.
