Great tasting treats are perfect for both socializing and training your pet. Stuff their stockings with the best we have to offer!

From hamsters and rats to guinea pigs and rabbits, our small animals can always use more things to chew on. Chewing is vital for them to help control the length of their teeth and prevent health problems. From a wide range of fun Ware chews to Woodland Get-A-Ways, we’ve got you covered!

Combine the best of both worlds by giving them a cozy hiding place PLUS something to chew on with the Woodland Get-a-way or the Chew-nal!

And this is the BEST time to stock up with 

Mix and match any toy, treat, or chew, from any department, and get the fourth for free!

Item of equal or lesser value will be free. No limit. 

Our pets may be small but their home should not be. Give them more space by upgrading their home to a larger enclosure,more room to roam with new Habitrail tubes, or a new safe play space outside of their cage with a playpen!​​​​​​​

]]> 5013 Exotic Nutrition’s new diets and toys make caring for your exotic easier https://wilmettepetcenter.com/exotic-nutritions-new-diets-and-toys-make-caring-for-your-exotic-easier/ Wed, 05 Sep 2018 18:52:24 +0000 https://wilmettepetcenter.com/?p=4740 [...]]]> Caring for our exotic pets can be a bit of a challenge. Exotic Nutrition specializes in exotic pet feeds, and cage accessories, and make it easy to meet the emotional and dietary requirements of our unusual pets. 

Silent Runner Wheel –  Exercise is just as important to your exotic pet as it is for you, and the new Silent Runner wheel is a great way to provide it. This wheel is truly silent, with dual ball bearings to make sure it runs smoothly and quietly. The heavy duty stand provides a secure running base while giving just enough to prevent joint pain. The textured tracks provide excellent grip for your pet while they run, and no center axle means their fur or tail cannot get caught. 

Pet nails can grow to be long and sharp. Not only can this be uncomfortable or even painful to you as an owner, it can also cause your pet to frequently get stuck on fabrics, like pouches or clothing. Switch out the basic track with the Sandy Trimmer track for one to two days each week; the soft, abrasive surface will help keep your pet’s nails naturally trimmed. Switching out the track is quite simple, as the wheel disassembles in moments, which makes it easy to clean, too.

Great for hedgehogs, hamsters, sugar gliders, and rats.

New, tasty diets for your special exotic friends.

Hedgehog complete – This animal-based, high protein diet is combined with mealworms and fortified with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fiber, and digestive enzyme to meet all their nutritional needs in a tasty form. This veterinarian-approved formula is 100% natural with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives and is made entirely in the US.

Glider Complete

  • 100% natural – no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives
  • High animal-protein pellet is fortified with vitamins, then mixed with 8 varieties of human-grade dried fruit chunks
  • Additional vitamin & mineral supplements are not required when glider’s diet is made up of 75% Glider Complete – veterinarian approved
  • Ingredients: papaya, pears, golden raisins, pineapple, apples, peaches, blueberries, apricots, honey, & bee pollen

Instant HPW

Exotic Nutrition’s HPW formula is a trusted formula fed to sugar gliders the world over. Instant HPW is based on the same homemade formula in an easier, mess-free, pre-mixed form using dehydrated ingredients, and then fortified it with Glider Booster (multivitamin) and Glider-Cal (calcium supplement) for added nutrition. Just add water to make a pudding like consistency and feed as a sole diet or mix with their Complete diet for variety and excitement. The natural ingredients of honey, eggs, bee pollen, ZooPro high protein supplement, flaxseed oil, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals means they love the taste while getting the complete nutrition they need.

]]> 3952 One of our favorite pets https://wilmettepetcenter.com/one-of/ Thu, 08 Jun 2017 19:29:16 +0000 https://wilmettepetcenter.com/?p=3622 [...]]]> They’re one of our favorite animals. Nothing else is quite as energetic, as playful, and as full of life as the ferret! 
 
The pet ferret (Mustela putorius furo) is a hybridized and domesticated animal, thought to come from the European polecat and the Steppe polecat. They’re obligate carnivores, meaning, like cats, they must eat meat (and should never have sugar). In the wild they are incredible hunters, tenacious and brave and not shying from large prey, although mice, voles, and rabbits make up most of their diet. In captivity, they eat a high protein, high fat, and low carbohydrate diet. Because of this, their digestive tract is incredibly short and they must eat often. They have been domesticated for thousands of years, used to hunt and eliminate mice, rats, and rabbits. 
 
Ferrets are related to skunks and badgers and although they have been descented, they do still have a faint smell. It’s easily countered, though, by using towels in their cage, sprayed with scent neutralizing sprays like PureAyre; as they crawl and play through it it reduces any odor. 

One of the most endearing things ferrets do is something called the “weasel war dance”. It’s thought to be a hunting technique the native species use to dazzle and confuse prey, but with out pet ferrets it looks like nothing more than an invitation to play! It seems like they’re just happy being alive! 
 
They do need to live in a good sized cage. Give them lots of things to play with, especially tunnels, tubes, and hammocks. Sturdy cat toys can be offered to give them things to play with. And boy do ferrets love to play! They need plenty of time outside of their cage, too, in a play gym or, even better, in a ferret-proof safe room. Keeping them on a harness will help control them and prevent them from getting into places they should’t. They do like to get into mischief, chewing up and stealing anything that catches their fancy.
 
We have our ferret care sheet on our website; check it out for all the details you need to know, and stop by to meet these incredibly friendly companions and see why they’re one of our favorites.
