Pet Care - Hamsters

• provide the right environment as different
  species can have very different needs
• find out how your small mammal will change -
  including its size and behaviour - as it matures,
  so that you are aware of how it is likely to
  interact with other animals and you make sure
  the person who looks after your pet when you go
  on holiday knows how to take care of it properly
• find out when your pet is old enough to
  breed to avoid unwanted litters.

Choosing A Puppy

• Puppies look cute and cuddly, but they may not be
  the best choice for all dog owners-to-be.Dogs
  and puppies need house-training, can be very
  destructive and may not be ideal for families
  which have elderly people or very young
  children.Puppies may make an elderly person
  trip or fall, or could be handled roughly or
  trodden on by a young child. An adult dog may be
  the best choice for people in these situations.

Keep Dogs Cool ?

• Warm temperatures in summer mean that dogs could
  potentially die or suffer from heatstroke if left
  in their owners' cars.Each year the RSPCA
  receives around 6,000 calls from members of the
  public concerned about an animal left in a car on
  the street, in a supermarket car park or at a
  public event.It's not just cars that are the
  problem - caravans and conservatories can also
  pose a risk.

I Found I Fox Cub What Should I do?

• If its eyes are open, the cub is probably fine.
  Usually the parents will be nearby to care for
  it, but even if it has lost a parent, other
  members of the family group will probably be
  looking after it. Check the spot after 24 hours.
• If you find an uninjured fox cub on a road or
  somewhere very exposed or dangerous, you could
  move it to a sheltered or safe spot nearby. Try
  to handle the cub as little as possible. Check
  the spot after 24 hours and you will probably
  find it has been taken to safety by its parents.
• If, after 24 hours, the cub is still in the same
  safe spot, it is still often better to leave it
  alone in the wild. It will have a better chance
  of surviving if you do. You could help by leaving
  some tinned dog food and water nearby.
• If the animal is obviously sick, injured or
  distressed take it to the nearest veterinary
  surgery, but keep handling to a minimum, or
  contact the RSPCA for advice via our 24-hour
  cruelty and advice line 0300 1234 999.
• If you feel you must take the animal from the
  area yourself, keep handling to an absolute
  minimum and make a note of the exact location
  where you found the cub. Foxes that become used
  to humans do not survive well in the wild

STOP Cruelty

• Stray strifeThe sight of stray cats and dogs
  around holiday apartments and hotels is common in
  lots of countries and it's all too tempting to
  want to feed them. Please try not to! This simply
  encourages more animals to the area who then rely
  on the tourists for food. Once you've packed your
  bags and gone home who's going to feed them? In
  many countries, the local animal welfare
  organisations have few resources to tackle this
  problem so the kindest thing you can do is to
  offer them money to help feed and neuter these
  strays.
