Sometimes people just want a list of brands and look for themselves what each one has to give so these are some of the best brands












Make sure you get the correct size.








Hamsters need way more space than most realize they also need a lot of room for burrowing




Esty and small businesses are always better to buy from, but I have included other companies since I know that isn't an option for everyone. You can also make your ow,n so I suggest looking into that too.















































Some animals like hamsters, mice, and gerbils need clutter in their cages to help them feel safe and have things to do.






































Some animals like hamsters, mice, and gerbils need clutter in their cages to help them feel safe and have things to do. Some of this clutter can be ebible so they can forage











These can help protect whatever the cage is on top of, and also keep things from falling out between the cage bars















It can be so hard to find bedding that has all the qualities you need: holding a burrow, low dust, and affordable








Hamsters need sand to bathe not water, some species need more sand than others




Giving substrate can be very beneficial for those animals who need it






Chinchilla have very specific grooming needs and having the proper sand is part of that


Some species are able to be litter trained while others benfit from litter in hay bins









Toys are very important for keeping your pet happy. Just make sure to get the proper ones for your type of pet.









































































These toys will offer more mental stimulation and can also be used to make feeding times more mentally useful. Make sure they are proper for your animal species.

























Wheels are only needed for some animals, and they need to be correctly sized. Make sure you know what size you need since they can cause major issues if they are too small or not needed for your species.

















Great for adding to hay, toys/puzzles, and overall enclosure to make them look/work for their treats. Most small pet mammals are herbivores, but some can eat insects, so make sure you only offer those to the correct animals. Some of these could be co...























































Some animals need certain supplements due to making or not making enough of certain things. While others may need something to help certain issues, like urinary and digestive support. Always make sure, with your vet, that your pet needs supplements.














There aren't many options since chinchillas need very specific pellets, and most companies don't make them properly







Pellets in the rabbit community can be very controversial but the best brands are less debated upon










Rats have a very complex diet. Make sure you know how to provide a proper diet, other than just pellets, since they should be the base of their diet, not their whole diet.





Ferrets have very specific diets so make sure you know their dietary needs.


There are a few options, some are higher quality than others, but that also comes with more of price. Along with some of these, only work for certain guinea pigs; some of these have alfalfa in them, so if your guinea pig can't have that, make sure th... Any sort of pellet that comes with anything else, like dried veggies and oats, is low quality since those are fillers. When you are buying pellets, there should only be pellets in the bag. Some guinea pigs are able to have a mixed pellet diet, most o...
















There is not a ton of options since most kibble isn't good for them since they need insect based









Hay is a huge part of some small mammals diets









The best way to give hay in piles and it can be easier to use litter boxes, also some small mammals can be littered trained.




Some species can't use water bottles so make sure they are safe for your pet









All guinea pigs need grooming but long haired breeds need more grooming


Diffrent animals need diffrent cleaning needs make sure what you get it what you need for your pet



Always make sure to have a carrier you never know when you will need it.



These are just some of the things I recommend. I have a list just for first aid I suggest looking at since it includes way more things and has options for a lot of them this is just what I think is more commonly needed.
