Keeping of small pet animals is still increasing and, in most cases, has a well-meaning motivation in the sense of a charitable engagement. However, false estimation of the specific requirements of these animals often results in inadequate keeping, feeding and housing conditions. The most frequent mistakes, which finally may cause abnormal behaviour or even illness, are a restricted radius of action, missing of social contacts and absence of adequate sexual partners.
小型宠物的饲养数量仍在增加,在大多数情况下,其背后有着善意的动机,类似于一种慈善行为。然而,对这些动物特定需求的错误估计往往导致饲养、喂养和居住条件不足。最常见的错误最终可能导致异常行为甚至疾病,这些错误包括活动范围受限、缺乏社交接触以及没有合适的性伴侣。
