Feed your animals at the same time every day. Pets are also creatures of habit, and they need the security of regular and predictable feeding times. It is not a good idea to let pets have unlimited access to food sources – many of them will eat too much, especially if they are bored, or feel anxious. Put the food down, leave it for half an hour, and then remove it. Make sure there is always fresh water for your animals.
Never hit your animals. Animals are hurt and confused by this and it does not solve any disciplinary problems. You may merely be taking out your anger on a defenceless animal. Don't go there. Usually your tone of voice is quite enough to convey displeasure. Also protect your pets from your toddlers. Small children can hurt pets quite badly without even realising what they are doing.
