Other Pets

Ferrets, horses, birds, rabbits, fish, guinea pigs and rats and mice make great pets. They can be suitable for children to handle and can be lots of fun. However, they require plenty of attention to be cared for properly.

DPI is focused on helping you understand the diet, housing, exercise, handling and health needs of your pet to be a responsible pet owner and comply with legislation.
