Daily Reminder That

This is not an acceptable habitat for a hermit crab

This is not an acceptable habitat for a goldfish

Neither of these are an acceptable habitat for a beta fish

And this is not an acceptable habitat for a rabbit/ferret/rat/guinea pig/hamster/chinchilla/ or any other small mammal

Do your research before purchasing a home for your pet, dont just buy what the pet store tells you to. All of the cages and tanks shown above are entirely too small and lack many of the things needed for the pets they are intended to hold, yet they have become very popular in the homes of pet owners who didn’t look into the specific needs of their animals. Don’t make your pets suffer by failing to provide the proper care that they require. If giving your pet a suitable habitat is too expensive for you, then don’t buy the animal, it’s simple.
