This year our customer helped raise over £2,000 for animal welfare charities. The rescue that gained the most votes, and has received this year’s donation is Hartford Hedgehog Rescue in Cambridgeshire and this week we’d like to share a little about the work they are doing, and how our donation will help.
If you have teeth, it’s important to look after them. This is as true for rabbit teeth as it is for our own. Because of the way their teeth grow, rabbits have some special dental needs. Rabbit owners need to know what those needs are and how to care for them.
In winter our garden birds face a double whammy of challenges: it’s cold, so they need more food to keep up their energy and fat reserves. And at the same time, there is much less food around: plants are bare, flying insects have vanished, and worms are buried in frozen ground. The food we provide is crucial at this time of year, so let’s look at what to feed garden birds in winter.
Most tortoise breeds that we keep as pets originate in countries that are far hotter than the UK. As cold-blooded creatures, tortoises need an external heat source to charge their metabolism and give them energy. So in a cold country like the UK, a tortoise heat lamp is essential for your pets well being.
Tortoises are some of the most long-lived species in the world, but exactly how long do they live for and why do they live this long? Unlike other common pets like dogs, cats, and birds, a pet tortoise will often outlive their owners. If you want to buy or adopt a tortoise, be prepared for a life-long commitment.
As the winter months approach and temperatures drop, rabbit owners may wonder how to best keep their pets warm. The good news is, whether your rabbit’s home is outdoors or inside, it’s not hard to keep them safe and warm. You just need to know how to go about caring for outdoor rabbits in winter.
With their colourful markings and sociable nature, red footed tortoises make popular pets. Their natural habitat in the forests of South America is quite different to that of many other pet tortoises, so naturally, they have different care needs that we need to understand.
The Rex guinea pig is one of the most loved guinea pig breeds. From its easy care short hair to its mellow personality to its delightful “fuzzy potato” appearance, when it comes to pets, it’s hard to go wrong with a Rex.
Most forms of Metabolic Bone Disease are caused by improper care and occur when a tortoise has insufficient calcium, therefore, draws calcium from its skeleton and shells, causing bones and shell to become soft and malformed. This can lead to bone fractures, a misshapen shell, severe pain, and, ultimately a painful death, if not treated.
Unlike humans whose teeth stop growing at a certain age, guinea pig teeth grow continuously throughout their life. Without the correct care and proper diet, elongated roots and overgrown teeth can become major health concerns for your pet guinea pig.
Neutering is a routine surgery, and most rabbits recover from it quickly and easily. It’s still surgery, though, so your bunny will need a little extra TLC when they first come home. So in this guide, we are covering the basics of caring for your neutered rabbit and what to expect after the op.
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!
