POV: You are being attacked by hamsters!
And that's a sign we have them in! We've got plenty of male and female hamsters and gerbils looking for forever homes!
Hamsters make wonderful first time pets. While they can be a little ornery, they can make quite good friends with their owners given plenty of time and patience. Hamsters require a lot of horizontal place, and enjoy burrowing. A perfect enclosure would be something around the size of a 40 gallon tank. Bigger is always better in terms of a home!
Gerbils are fairly the same deal as hamsters, though with a few key differences. For one, they're social! Many people often have horror stories of their hamsters fighting, thankfully with gerbils this will not be the case. They enjoy having a group of friends to play with. Additionally, unlike hamsters, they are a diurnal species, which means they'll be active in the day rather than be awake all night.
If you are interested in either of these lovable little rodents, feel free to come check them out!
Welcome to our Sunday ✨️ Animal Spotlight ✨️ at L&L Pets!
Meet the Crested Gecko!
We have a male and a female looking for good homes! These fun lizards are a great alternative to chameleons. They're far more hardy, can live in smaller cages, and are a bit more handleable than their lizard relatives. (Though they love to jump!)
Crested geckos are popular due to the diet they eat. They're omnivores, but they can get all their needs from a "Crested gecko food" diet. Mix a bit of water with the powdered food, and you won't ever have to worry about feeding them crickets, which makes them great for people who don't want bugs in their house!
Even still, you can always get them occasional crickets or mealworms as a snack. They are not picky animals and love to hunt if given a chance.
Fun fact: Crested geckos were once thought to be extinct. Thankfully they were rediscovered in 1994 and swiftly grew popular in the pet trade!
Come take a look at them at L&L Pets!
