Rick Preuss, Doctor Will Schultz, and Lee Cohen discuss Gerbils as pets with Kirbay Preuss and her three year old daughter Arabella.

Children who care for pets learn responsibility and love of others often as a result. Pocket pets are frequently favorites. Listen Saturday at 9AM as Rick Preuss from Preuss Pets, Doctor Will Schultz, DVM (retired) and Lee Cohen discuss Gerbils as pets with Kirbay Preuss and her three year old daughter Arabella. Arabella will share her experience and feelings with her two gerbils. Kirbay then fills in the rest with all of the details regarding environment, food, enrichment, vetting and other details about gerbils as well as hamsters, rats, degus, sugar gliders and other small animals that are appropriate for the different ages, personalities and situations people have. Then Katie Ramp from Preuss Pets joins the conversation about the in-house animal reproduction program that she monitors and maintains for many of these animals and the USDA guidelines that Preuss adheres to for the sake of the animals and the people who buy and care for them. Learn the longevity of these different animals and other personality quirks that make doing your homework in advance a necessity if you want a successful journey with your child and their pets! Pets can be a joy for kids of all ages as you will hear about if you tune into this weekend's edition of the Mid Michigan Pet Expert Talk Show -
