Guinea Pig, Rabbit , Rodent
and small pet Care
PBC426
This course provides practical information on some of the
most popular, yet frequently misunderstood, companion pets.
Small animals are often the first to be kept by children and
a successful experience can lead to a life long interest in
keeping pets. Many of the most commonly available and popular
rodents kept by young family members are taken for granted
until health and husbandry issues develop. Keeping and maintaining
the most popular small pets including Rabbits, Guinea pigs
Gerbils, Hamsters, Mice and Rats and Ferrets are discussed
in detail alongside core behaviour, heath and husbandry.
The subjects covered by this distance learning course will
offer those in the pet care industry and owners practical
information of small animal practitioner knowledge and skills.
