Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about buying small pets
How much do small pets typically cost?
Prices vary by species: Hamsters $20-$50, Guinea pigs $30-$80, Rats $20-$60, Mice $10-$30, Gerbils $20-$40, Chinchillas $100-$300, Hedgehogs $100-$250. Remember to budget for cage setup ($50-$300) and monthly care costs ($30-$70).
What should I look for in a responsible seller?
Responsible sellers provide clean housing, allow visits, answer all questions, provide proper age verification, offer health information, and give transition food. Avoid sellers with dirty conditions, multiple species in one cage, or who will not let you handle the pet.
Which small pets are best for children?
Guinea pigs are often best for children - they are gentle, rarely bite, and enjoy handling. Rats are also excellent - intelligent and affectionate. Syrian hamsters can work for older children who understand gentle handling. Avoid dwarf hamsters and mice for young children.
What setup do I need before buying?
Essential items: appropriate-sized cage (varies by species), bedding, water bottle, food bowl, species-appropriate food, hiding house, exercise wheel (for hamsters/gerbils), and toys. Guinea pigs and chinchillas need hay racks. Total setup cost typically $50-$300.
