Field Scenario

A customer wants to purchase the smallest, least expensive enclosure available for a small mammal, assuming any enclosure marketed for that species type is appropriate.

What You Actually Recommend

• Explain that adequate space is a genuine welfare consideration, not just a comfort preference
• Reference real, documented standards of care rather than assuming any marketed product is automatically appropriate
• Recommend appropriately sized housing based on the specific species’ actual needs
• Frame this honestly, even if it means recommending a larger, more expensive option
