Do you worry about how much your cat sleeps? Maybe you even suspect ‘nar-cat-lepsy’, the feline version of the relatively rare sleeping disorder that affects around 30,000 people in the UK. Well, while it may be cause for concern if you’re a first-time paw-rent, the good news is cats sleep a lot. In fact, the only thing they catch more than mice is ZZZs!
Hedgehogs are ancient and exotic creatures with a unique appearance and some pretty outlandish behavioural traits. Perhaps top of the list of wired and wonderful hedgehog behaviour is the practice of self anointing. This week we are going to look at what self anointing is, when it happens, theories of why it happens and whether it is in any way harmful.
Well, if you’re new to the world of guinea pigs, you might be taken aback the first time your little ball of fluff bites you. But don’t be too surprised. Your docile cavy hasn’t turned rabid, it’s probably just trying to tell you something important.
Many of our readers report seeing hedgehogs in their garden “fighting.” Whether you catch this action live or on trail cam it’s a fascinating and often alarming sight: two pin cushions having a go at each other, often with spectacular sound effects. But are they really fighting? If so, why? And is this something you … Read more
Indoor vs outdoor cats? Which side of the fence are you on when it comes to this ongoing debate? In the UK, the majority of cat owners allow their cats to come and go as they please, while a small percentage of pawrents prefer keeping their cats inside. Both approaches have their benefits, as well as a few cons,
Some studies estimate that around 10% of hedgehogs die in ponds and swimming pools. Not because they can’t swim, but because once they are in, they can’t climb out. Then we have reports like this one of a hedgehog climbing to the first floor of a house, jumping into a bed, and biting someone’s toe
Have you ever wondered how your rabbits are feeling? As prey animals, rabbits are masters of the poker face. Even when they are trying to tell us something, rabbit behaviour can be a mystery. But if you know what to look for in your own rabbits’ behaviours, you can crack the code
Guinea pigs are known for being extremely social animals. In fact, the domesticated guinea pig’s wild cousins live in herds of 10 or more. Which brings us to the question of why guinea pigs fight? And what to do about it. Keep in mind that there is a difference between displays of dominance to establish … Read more
The service from Home & Roost is exemplary and I have been more than happy with how my online orders have been received and processed. Delivery is always quick and my goods are very well packaged. I would much rather support a family business than a national chain, so Home & Roost will always get my custom!
Bought a double hutch and run for our guinea pigs and they were super helpful. Little chocolate Freddo in one box and Harribo in the other for the kids to munch on while daddy built the hutch & run. Great communication / customer service, fab. products and they're lovely too. Highly recommended them!
I 1000% recommend home and roost, there hutches are very well made, the wood is thick and there super sturdy when together, I did have a few issues with a missing door and divider and also a few cracked parts however their customer service team are 5⭐️ and sorted everything for me the same day and sent new parts out I will defiantly be using again
Such a helpful man who went the extra mile to ensure that the carrier had precise instructions on where to leave the hedgehog house and food etc., as the recipient would be out. He was polite and eager to help.
Wow I’ve been blown away by the amazing service and quality of product with Home and Roost. I literally knew nothing and they were so helpful! Even told me how I could get a discount and generally made me feel like I was in an exciting journey and not just a customer! I especially loved the lollipop when I opened the packaging! Which was all all plastic free and that pleases me greatly too!! 👍👍👍👍
Great products, but what impressed me most was the speed at which I received them. Who expects an online order to arrive the following day (or early the day after that, my memory fails me)? Certainly not me, but sure enough there it was! Amazing service, thank you!
