Cavys and other small pets, such as guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, mice, rats, other rodents, and any other small animal kept as a pet are excellent project areas for 4-H youth of all ages, especially Cloverbuds (ages 5-7).  In this project, youth will learn not only how to care for a small animal, but the responsibility and presentation skills that will carry forward into other 4-H project areas and their everyday lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
