Rodentia 76 - friend or foe?

Rabbits/rodents and other pets
Pellet-free chinchilla diet
Natural living for rodents

Contents:

Life behind bars was yesterday. Nowadays, the trend is towards ever more spacious and animal-friendly self-built enclosures. As the cages available in pet shops unfortunately often still do not fulfil the husbandry requirements of rabbits, rodents and ferrets, many keepers are developing a great deal of creativity when designing their enclosures and terrariums. Depending on the needs of the respective animal species, there are various ways to create a natural and varied habitat for your pets. Even pet owners who are less skilled in their craft can always find solutions to create a species-appropriate and affordable enclosure for their pets. In the next issue of RODENTIA - Nager & Co. we will be presenting various luxurious self-built enclosures as part of the cover story and providing tips and suggestions on how to recreate them.

This is exactly where "Curious Guinea Pigs" from the GU Small Animals series comes in: The guide bundles knowledge about a fulfilling guinea pig life and makes it so easy to understand that it can be implemented immediately in everyday life. The author, Dr. Immanuel Birmelin, a well-known behavioral researcher, shares his experiences from years of keeping and researching guinea pigs and explains what is important in practice. You will receive guidance on key topics such as equipment, care and activity - the very things that determine whether your animals feel safe and become active. The book is particularly family-friendly, with quick-start pages for a quick introduction and infographics that show important information at a glance. There are also discovery pages with observation tips and small ideas that encourage children (and adults) to understand guinea pigs better - instead of just "having" them. In addition, tips for parents help children to treat the animals correctly and respectfully. Zoo-Roco tip Guinea pigs are very much group animals: plan the housing from the outset so that your animals have social contact, opportunities to retreat and something to do. If you are unsure whether your enclosure, structure or feeding is suitable, make a note of your questions as you read - this way you can implement the tips in your home.

Rodentia 83 - Water habitat Red pandas Wrapped bears Contents: Cover story: Water habitat. Aquatic small mammals Most small mammals – and consequently most of the species kept by humans – are excellently adapted to a terrestrial way of life. However, there are also species among small mammals that have succeeded in specialising in a life at or even in water in the course of evolution. Unique adaptations in terms of their body structure and way of life make otters, capybaras & co. fascinating but demanding to care for. To care for aquatic or semi-aquatic small mammals in a species-appropriate manner requires special facilities and a great deal of know-how – read more about this in the new issue of RODENTIA Exotics.InternalMagazineDates & tipsPhoto storyWater habitat – aquatic and semi-aquatic small mammalsDipl.-Biol.
