This week is Small Pet Rodent Awareness Week and we’re putting the spotlight on what our tiny companions like hamsters, gerbils, mice, rats, and guinea pigs need to thrive. 🐹

The key elements needed for a happy small furry are:
✅ Plenty of space to explore and exercise
✅ Safe items to chew (those teeth never stop growing!)
✅ A varied, balanced diet with fresh veg
✅ Companionship for social species like guinea pigs

Check out our pet care advice pages online – here's one for pet rats: https://www.partridgepractices.co.uk/molesey-vets/my-pet/rat/

They might be little, but they deserve just as much care and attention as bigger pets. Share a snap of your small furry friend [camer, point down emoji]

Pet theft is still a real concern in the UK - over 1,800 dogs were reported stolen in 2024. Sadly, only a 16-20% are reunited with their owners. 😢

Microchipping is one of the best ways to improve your pet’s chances of being reunited with you if they go missing - but only if your contact details are kept up to date! [green tick emoji] Need help checking or updating your pet’s microchip info? Give us a call on 0208 979 1384, we’re here to help.
