We think the Government should introduce minimum enclosure and wheel sizes for small animals and ban the sale of any that do not fit this criteria. Travel enclosures and carriers should still be available, however.

I run a small animal rescue and I see animals suffer in a huge way due to people unknowingly neglecting their animals' needs. We think there are a lot of inadequate enclosures available for sale in pet stores, and that new legislation is needed to improve animals' lives.
The Government should look at resources produced by animal welfare groups for guidance to make standards for enclosure sizes appropriate for each animal. Animals such as; Hamsters, Gerbils, Guinea Pigs, Rats, Mice and Rabbits.
