Miscellaneous Rodents/Expert Profile
Expertise
I can answer questions about exotic rodents like duprasis, Persian gerbils, bushy-tailed jirds, striped mice, natal rats ect.: how to keep them, what to feed them, how to make toys ect. I cannot answer questions on breeding or medical questions. If your animal appears to be sick, you need to see a rodent vet as soon as possible, please don`t waste time asking me.
Experience in the area
I keep or have kept fancy mice, spiny mice, Mongolian gerbils, Naked-soled gerbils and bushy-tailed jirds and I foster exotic rodents for a rodent rescue organisation.
