Care for Rabbits & Small Mammals

At Riverside Veterinary Clinic, we understand that exotic pets have unique needs. That’s why select veterinarians on our team provide experienced, attentive care for rabbits and pocket pets in Radford, VA. Exotic pets often hide signs of illness, which makes routine veterinary visits especially important. Our team is trained to recognize subtle changes in behavior, appetite, and activity that may signal a problem.

We provide care for:

• Rabbits
• Guinea pigs
• Hamsters
• Gerbils
• Other small “pocket pets”

If you’re unsure whether we see your specific pet, our team is happy to answer your questions.

Exotic Pet Services May Include:

• Wellness exams
• Nutritional counseling
• Parasite screening
• Dental evaluations
• Illness diagnosis and treatment
• Husbandry guidance

Proper diet, habitat setup, and preventive care play a major role in keeping rabbits and pocket pets healthy. We take time to educate owners so you can feel confident caring for your pet at home.

Experienced, Gentle Handling

Exotic pets require specialized handling techniques to minimize stress and ensure safety. Our team focuses on calm, gentle care tailored to each species and individual personality.

Because exotic care is provided by select veterinarians, we recommend calling ahead to confirm doctor availability and schedule an appointment.
