Expert Profile: Shawntiah Jones

Expertise: I have great knowledge in many small and furry animals such as hamsters, gerbils, rats, mice, chinchillas, guinea pigs, rabbits and ferrets. I have taken care all of these animals and have great knowledge in appropiate cage sizes as well as food and health.

Experience in the area
I no longer work at pet store. because I am now working at a hospital, but I worked in the petcare department for a year and was the petcare lead of my department. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun. I also own many types of animals.

What do you like about this subject? I love hamsters and gerbils they are extremely funny and make great pets for people with limited space and who don't mind having something bite them.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I still hope to inform people about the joys and challanges of owning a hamster. Even though they are small and cuddly they still require attention and maintenance and good care.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Hamsters can bite. ALL hamsters are capable of biting you.
