Empty Toilet Paper and Paper Towel Rolls deter Dental issues

Austin Guinea Pig Rescue is an organization dedicated to rehoming guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, gerbils, degus, hedgehogs and a small number of rabbits in the Austin, Texas area.  Their website wish list doesn't indicate empty toilet paper and paper towel rolls but these small family pets require them. According to Kim Meyer, who oversees the rescue, hamsters don't care to chew the empty rolls as the other small loving pets housed at her rescue. Depending on the critters moods they maybe chew through a dozen empty rolls a week. 

What is a Degu? Watch this video to learn more about these new small pets who were surrendered at Town Lake Animal Center here in Austin earlier this year. Kim shares her expertise on caring for several other small loving family pets on this video. If you are in need of some quick tips on caring for Guinea Pigs click here to gain additional insight.

Chewing on these empty rolls help maintain the small family pet's growing teeth. My new company, A Variety Of Pets Media and Royal's Pet Taxi, a new growing business serving the Austin area, partnered up to save empty rolls to donate to the Austin Guinea Pig Rescue on Sunday, July 31st. 

Royal's Pet Taxi is currently transporting pets from West Lake Animal Hospital located on 3930 Bee Cave Rd # 10, West Lake Hills, Texas to Austin Vet Care located on 4106 North Lamar Blvd in Austin. This new pet business has saved a cat from our hot weather. A vehicle's air conditioning stopped operating when a woman and her feline were attempting to travel home after a vet appointment. She contacted Royal's Pet Taxi to transport her loving feline family member safely home. 

Vision Hills Sanctuary located in the Austin area is currently sponsoring the adoptable small family pets on Petfinder. Town Lake Animal Center located at 1156 W. Cesar Chavez Street in Austin will contact Kim when small family pets are surrendered at the center. Her knowledge has greatly assisted TLAC in saving and rehoming these loving creatures.
