📋 Care, Weight & Health Log (free printable)

Small pets are prey animals — they hide illness until it’s advanced, and a steady weeklyweight is often the first thing to change. Keep this by the cage, weigh on the same kitchen scale each week, and note anything that looks off. It turns “I think they’ve slowed down” into a record your vet can use.

⚠️ Call an exotic vet promptly if you see…

  • Not eating or drinking for a day (in a small rodent, sooner) — a real emergency
  • Sudden weight loss, or a hunched, fluffed-up, withdrawn posture
  • Laboured or noisy breathing, discharge from eyes or nose
  • Diarrhoea, a dirty/wet rear, or no droppings at all
  • Head tilt, wobbling, a limp, or any lump or wound

This log helps you spot changes early — it isn’t a diagnosis. When in doubt, ring the vet.
