Bedding

Smelly odors and hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, mice and gerbils

When it comes to your little critter's cage, controlling odor is nothing to sniff at. You may have heard terrifying tales of just how stinky companion rodents really are, but we're betting those rumors were started by disgruntled, less-than-fastidious caretakers. If you use proper bedding in your pet's cage and keep to a regular cleaning schedule, you're sure to meet with the sweet smell of success.

Creating a home for your hamster

Your hamster's cage is his home, sweet home--and it's up to you to make sure it's spacious and sturdy, and is kept as comfy and clean as possible. A well-made cage and accessories are the most important investments you'll make for your pet.

Getting the right dog bed

Ever seen a dog execute a back flip while catching a Frisbee in midair, only to find him catching some ZZZs just minutes later? It takes a lot of energy for Fido to do what he does, so he needs to regain his energy with regular rest. Canines put in major snooze time, at an average of about 13 hours daily.

Getting the right cat bed

Ever marveled at your cat's ability to burst into top speed while seemingly smack in the middle of a snooze? It takes a lot of energy for Fluffy to do what she does, so she needs to regain her energy with regular rest. Depending on age and personality, the average cat sleeps 13-16 hours a day. Kittens need more sleep, and felines left alone when their families are at work tend to nap throughout the day.
