There are more than just a few reasons to keep the critters we call small animals as pets. For starters, they don't bark, chase cars, or howl at night. They are adaptable, reasonably clean, easy to maintain, inexpensive to feed, and perfect for those who have space restrictions and limited time to spend with a pet.

For decades, children and adults have fallen for these tiny fur-covered creatures. Hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, mice, rats, rabbits and even exotic creatures such as hedgehogs, sugar gliders and ferrets have captivated the imaginations of millions.

This category keeps up with the times. As trends change in the area of small animals, our shelves and displays do too. But one thing will always ring true - small animals have and will continue to capture the imagination and curiosity of those willing to explore their habitats and unique mannerisms.
