What kind of pet would you recommend for me?

I Inquire: What kind of pet would you recommend for me?
I’m not too picky about what of type of pet but it has to be small, sort of easy to care for, and not incredibly expensive. I wanna be able to play with it unlike a fish. Also I’m not allowed to have snakes, spiders, or rats. Anything else like gerbils, hampsters, or lizards are fine. Just those three are off limits. Any suggestions?

a cat or maybe a bearded dragon.. both are easy to take care of, small and fun to play with… if you have allergies i’d stick with the dragon

Answer by Beth
a ferret!

small, playful, fun, low maintenance, incredibly cute, not moody (like cats), happy to stay in the cage or come out for a play whenever you’ve got time. They eat kitten food, relatively cheap, love raisins and peanutbutter.

some people think they smell, but they are sold descented. They don’t mind weekly baths and will provide lots of entertainment when trying to dry themselves.

they can be litterbox trained and can also learn tricks. They love cat and dog toys and plastic carrier bags if you don’t want to splash out on toys.

How about a little dwarf rabbit? They are lovely and sweet. Lots of care and should be spayed or neutered. Guinea pigs can be nice too. Or a pionus parrot? Quite affectionate – spend time with the bird a few times before buying. I got quite attached to our little Betta fish, even though we couldn’t play with him we did have fun putting new stuff in his aquarium and watching him. Hamsters are a lot of fun, with those tube things you can get for them to run in, as are gerbils.

My advice, start visiting one of the large pet store chains once or twice a week and see if a pet chooses you.

Answer by bruce
do you want to play with it out side if so then cats Ginnie pigs etc. are out

Answer by need2knw
Try a dwarf bunny or a guinea pig (one is quiet the other is not)you can play with either one. Get a young one or one that likes to be handled. You have to take care of a pet, any pet needs food, water, a safe and clean place to call home and most of all love from you. Good luck with whatever pet you get.Treat it well and you will be rewarded with a happy pet that loves you.

Gerbils are cool. Also try a pigeon. Gerbils and pigeons are easy to take care of, and pigeons always return to you even if you set them free.

Answer by Piggy&Jazz
I will suggest a guinea pig. It is easy to handle and with personality. It makes noisy when it want some attention. You can teach him some tricks. Also it can toilet trained.

Answer by darkangel9788
Ferrets are really cool! I was doubtful but my friend has four of them and they love to play! They will come to you when “called” (my friends like a squeeky toy) and can be litter trained and are socialble animals. I was suprised as how playful ferrets are. Some of them will enjoy hiding things like pens or shiny things. Good luck!

Adopt a cat or dog at your local shelter. A cat is easier to care for but a dog likes to run, fetch balls and stuff like that.

Answer by LaTria M
I would say get your self 2 guinea pigs.

Answer by dances_with_unicorns1955
I think a cat would be good; they don’t require a lot of effort; they’re very independent, and do well with dry food, water, and a litter box. There are lots of kittens out there that need good homes – many pet stores have homeless animals available for adoption, or you can look on Craig’s List for people offering cats and kittens for adoption.

Answer by keenanj2004
a rabbit! you get what you give…the more attention you give her the more attention she will give you! they dont make noise, and they have more personality than you would think.
