Small mammals - also affectionately known as 'pocket pets' - are all special in their own way. Rats are incredibly smart and love problem solving. Rabbits are famous for the 'binky' - an uncontainable burst of energy released during playtime. And ferrets are an energetic, quirky snake-cat hybrid with keen hunting instincts and desire to chase.

Why not treat your pint-sized squeeky pal to an array of ridiculous mini things? You know you want to...

We've collected 7 of our most outrageously cute toys and accessories for small mammals, some which you'll need to see to believe!
