Get to know the pet in front of you.

A good home starts with understanding an animal’s everyday needs. SmallPetGuru brings together guides to food, habitats, enrichment, and routines for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hedgehogs, reptiles, and our backyard-animal collection.

We want to help you compare options, notice what matters, and ask better questions. Our guides include practical charts, checklists, source links, and honest limits. We are not a veterinary service.

Research meets everyday life.

Our approach combines clear research summaries with owner experiences where they add something useful. Personal observations are labeled, and they do not replace veterinary guidance. Read how we make and update our guides.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE FIELD GUIDE

Andrew Jones

Andrew Jones

Andrew has shared his home with three rabbits, including the two who are part of his family today. He brings that personal connection to SmallPetGuru, with a focus on making everyday rabbit care easier to understand—from setting up a welcoming indoor space to feeding, litter training, and finding ways to keep rabbits busy. His aim is to pair practical research with the details that matter when you live with rabbits yourself.

Marc Seward

Marc Seward

Marc shares his home with a bearded dragon, a chinchilla, and mice—a small-pet family with very different needs. At SmallPetGuru, he brings an owner's perspective to guides on habitats, feeding, enrichment, and daily routines. His focus is on clear, useful information that helps readers understand each species and build a setup that works for both their pets and their home.

A better field guide starts with your questions.
