Ferret distemper and rabies vaccines are the two vaccines recommended for ferrets. Take your ferret to your veterinarian to find out about the proper protocol for your Pet. Even though your other fuzzy friends may not need vaccinations, he or she should still receive regular veterinary examinations to help detect parasites, diseases, and nutritional deficiencies and help you keep your pet healthy and happy. This may be difficult in some species of small mammals or young rodent species pets. In adult male rats, mice, gerbils, and sometimes hamsters and guinea pigs, the testicles are often obvious upon examination of the genital area.
Male rabbits can retract the testicles into the abdomen, making sex determination difficult.
The absence of obvious testicles does not always indicate your pet is a female. Female pets usually have a slightly larger genital opening closer to the anus than males. Have your pet's sex determined by your veterinarian or professional rodent handler for the greatest accuracy. There are many kinds of litter such as wood shavings, fresh clean straw, pellets, cob chips, shredded paper, etc. Choose a small mammal litter than will be safe, clean, and very easy to change.
