Small Animals

Small animals make wonderful companions for families, first-time pet owners, and animal lovers looking for gentle, engaging pets. At Lifestyle Pet Hyper, we specialise in providing healthy, well-cared-for small animals while offering practical guidance to help owners create safe, comfortable environments for them to thrive.

Our small animal department includes a variety of popular pets such as rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and other small mammals. Each animal is cared for with attention to its specific needs, including proper housing, nutrition, and social interaction. We believe responsible pet ownership starts with education, and our knowledgeable team is always available to share advice tailored to each species.

What We Offer

We focus on more than just supplying small animals — we help owners understand how to care for them long-term. This includes guidance on:

• Suitable enclosures and habitat setups
• Species-appropriate diets and feeding routines
• Enrichment and exercise to prevent boredom and stress
• Handling and socialisation tips for gentle interaction
• Ongoing care considerations as pets grow and mature

By offering both pets and trusted advice under one roof, we help ensure each small animal is placed in a home where it can live a healthy, happy life.

Small Animal Care Tips

Small animals thrive in environments that offer space, stimulation, and routine. Ensure enclosures are cleaned regularly, placed away from extreme temperatures, and equipped with enrichment items such as tunnels, chew toys, or hideaways. A balanced diet and fresh water are essential, along with gentle handling to build trust and reduce stress.

By understanding their needs and behaviours, small animals can become rewarding, long-term companions that bring joy to any home.
