How To Pick, Prepare, Love, And Care For Your Pet Rock: A Step By Step Guide To Proper Pet Rock Raising (Part 2)

Now that you've domesticated and made your rock feel at home, you must know the proper methods and techniques to care for it and keep it alive.

Step #1
: Provide proper nutrition

Rocks have a rather small diet, so to not be able to feed your rock would be shameful. Since your rock has been wild its whole like, if should be fed consistently. Go outside and gather a range of different types of common, edible plants. Present them to your rock and observe its reaction. Generally, if it a food they are used to, they will eat it. Leave the food there and return late to see which the rock prefers. You must do this until you find a food they will eat or your rock will die.

Step #2: Provide a personal space for your rock

Like yourself, a pet rock needs their own room; consisting of at least a bed. You could also provide them with toys or entertainment.

Step #3: Hygiene

It's best to watch your rock at least once a week to keep their cleanliness
intact. Baths are much like the cleaning you performed when you first adopted your rock; except it won't be as extreme.

Step #4: Sleep

Sleeping is vital for all living creatures alike. Pet rocks have a pretty different rest schedule than humans but it's pretty easy to adapt to. They should get about six hours of sleep a night. Usually, they put themselves to sleep and wake up by themselves without complaint.

The rest is simply basic pet care fundamentals. Make sure to note their complaints and try to tend to their needs. And over time, with enough care and love, your rock will grow to love you; as well you to your pet rock.
