Pocket pets are very curious and they tend to get into anything and just everything. Here are some tips to keep your home safe for your pocket pet:
- Avoid using scented candles near your pet’s enclosure because the strong scent can possibly irritate their respiratory system and can be toxic to them. Also, older types of candles may contain lead in their wicks which can be toxic if inhaled. This is also true with potpourri.
- Know what human foods are harmful to your pet.
- Some household decorations may be tempting for pets especially if these contain seeds, wood, dried flowers, etc. There is also a possibility that these decors have been treated with toxic chemicals to look fresh. The small parts of these decorations can also get lodged in your pet’s digestive system and can mean expensive emergency surgery.
