How often should you visit?
Generally hamsters and guinea pigs may need to go to the vet two or three times a year. Rats and guinea pigs are more likely to develop dental problems, so they may require frequent dental exams by a veterinarian. Others only need an annual exam.
Spaying or neutering is an option for some pocket pets. Chinchillas, for example, need to be spayed or neutered, and can live up to 20 years. Guinea pigs are prone to reproductive tract problems, so they may need a hysterectomy.
