New Pet Categories for small furry animals?

[PetBazaar]

Any chance of having a series of categories added relating to generic pets of the small furry rodent variety?

Home & Garden/Pets/Small Animals

with sub-categories of

Home & Garden/Pets/Small Animals/Accessories
Home & Garden/Pets/Small Animals/Activity
Home & Garden/Pets/Small Animals/Bedding
Home & Garden/Pets/Small Animals/Cages & Housing
Home & Garden/Pets/Small Animals/Feeding
Home & Garden/Pets/Small Animals/Grooming
Home & Garden/Pets/Small Animals/Health & Hygiene
Home & Garden/Pets/Small Animals/Treats

So you want the current subcategories merged into one?

At what size does an animal cease to be 'small'?

[PetBazaar]

Ideally, yes. I would like to see them merged into one as [sweeping generalisation alert] most small animal products can be used with a variety of different animals. For example, an activity tunnel could be used by hamsters, gerbills, rats and small rabbits and anyone who owns one of these types of animal will be competely familiar with looking in a single small animals section.

Don't get me wrong though, I can see a use for the individual categories (mainly for food), but given how sparse the number of items within them is having a well stocked small animal section seems, to me, a better option. Perhaps at some point, the individual categories might become sub-categories of "Small Animal".

Small animal, as far as pets are concerned, is a sort collective term for rodents and rabbits (whether it be a giant rabbit or a dwarf hamster) rather than an indication of size. So I guess that a small animal will cease to be a small animal when it becomes a dog or a cat or a budgie.

I would define a small animal as one that cannot remove one of my limbs in one go.

We can add Small Animals & Rodents but will need to have contingency for our current categories it will encompass
