Welcome to this special corner of a PetRodentsCare blog and thank you for stopping by!

Let me introduce myself – my name is Ana; I am a Biomedical Scientist, Medical Editor, Content Creator and (you guessed it) small animals lover!

I grew up in a small flat sharing a room with my brother and we were eager to own a pet. We were dreaming about a dog or a cat, but the lack of space was on the way.

Then one day my dad suggested to go to a pet shop and that was the first time I saw a hamster! Shortly we had a furry addition to our family. Since then we owned different rodent pets including guinea pigs, rats, and gerbils.

Back then if you had a question about your pet rodent, you had to go to the pet shop and ask for advice. As you can imagine, not everyone was willing to help. So, I decided to order pet care books and guides to learn all aspects of care for small animals! And I’m still learning!

Owning a pet is a big responsibility as your furry friend fully depends on you. For a beginner, it can be overwhelming when it comes to learning about diet, housing, cleaning and bonding. Therefore, I wanted to create an ultimate online resource where you can find answers to any questions.

To help me on this mission, I collaborate with pet lovers and veterinarians passionate about writing who are willing to share their expertise.
