About Us
LittleGrabbies is an independent blog created by one human and her pets. We noticed a lack of well-researched and carefully put-together resources for tiny animals, and we want to help change that.Â
So many pet blogs and websites just repeat what they see on other blogs and websites, which creates a harmful cycle of misinformation. And this cycle often results in mistreated, unhappy, and unhealthy pets, often despite their owners’ very best efforts.
As a blog writer by day and a pet obsesser by night, I wanted to combine my two biggest interests and skills into one place. And so, LittleGrabbies was born! We’re on a never-ending journey to learn everything we can about small pets, and we would love for you to come along.
