Answer 2

RATS!
THEY ARE SO COOL AND CAN EAT ALL HUMAN FOOD> THEY R REALLY SMART TOO>IM GETTING ONE THIS WEEK>THEY ARE REALLY CLEAN ASWELL< NO DISEASES!
Many people instantly react to the thought of pet rats with a disgusted look This is unfortunate and unfair, for rats can be entertaining, affectionate and clever pets. They're excellent first pets for children, great sole pets for adults who might prefer a dog but are in "no pets" housing, and easy-care pets for those who aren't home much or don't have the desire to clean up after a dog, cat or bird.
Still not convinced? Let go of everything you've ever thought about rats and consider the benefits with an open mind:
**Rats are social animals. Many small pets don't like being handled, but rats get used to socialization easily, and come to enjoy riding in pockets and on shoulders. They have a great outgoing personality.
**Rats are smart. Rats respond quickly to food-based training and seem to love to perform. With little effort, you can get them to perform tricks, and they know mealtime is here faster than any dog I've ever known.
**Rats are agile and sturdy. You'll appreciate the fleet-footedness of a rat. Unlike mice, rats can stand up to the handling.
**Rats are cute. Really. Think sleek, shiny fur, dark, glossy eyes and cute little ears. You say it's the tail that gets to you? Give a rat a break. If he just had a fluffy tail he'd be a squirrel, and people would give him nuts in the park.
**Did you know that rats come in oodles of colors and coat patterns? Think colors like silver mink, platinum, blue and chocolate, and markings like hooded (the head a different color than the body) or masked or patched.
**Rats are easy to keep. Get a cage sized for a larger pet, such as a guinea pig, and your rat will be content. Add bedding, a place for the animal to hide and sleep, a food dish, water bottle and some toys. (These can be freebies, such as the leftover core of a paper-towel roll, or small untreated blocks of wood.)
Your rat will happily eat the food manufactured for them, and will love you if you add fruit, nuts, vegetables and other "people food."
The downside of rats? They don't live all that long -- two to three years -- and they're prone to tumors. As with all small pets, cage changes must be frequent, otherwise the smell will become unpleasant, to you and your pets both.
Oh, and there's also those skinny, hairless tails. Even I had a problem with them at first. But these days, I'm finding rats so personable I hardly notice their tails at all.

Answer 3

Have two cats. I want a dog desperately, but my house needs renovations first, so I can't get one (cost factor) until those are completed. Have had hamsters, and a guinea pig. Even raised a Robin once. Tried bringing home a baby woodpecker at 12. My mom made me take it back. I watched it for an hour to make sure it's mom would accept it back. Turns out that she was trying to teach him how to fly, and I guess I REALLY motivated it!! Had a crow for a couple of weeks that a neigbour kid brought me. I fed it until it's wing mended enough to fly away. Oh, and I had a nest of baby rabbits for 2 days. The mom had been killed by a cat, and I found them in my lettuce garden. They were cute things, only about 5 inches long...scared spitless. I could only get them to take the smallest amount of baby formula. Finally had an animal rescue group come and get them. I had a garter snake for awhile, until my brother decided to try to see what it looked like inside. (I beat the crap out of him for it, but it still died.) My old tom cat tried to get me to take care of a Cardinal hatchling that had fallen out of it's nest during a bad wind storm. He even carried it up (oh so carefully) onto the back deck in his mouth, so I would be able to see it through the door. It was too little, though. It didn't even have it's feathers yet. Mommy and Daddy weren't interested in retrieving it. Had one dumb male German Shepherd pup I'd adopted from the pound. He was about 6 months old. The very first night he ate the toe half of my cowboy boots off. Brand NEW pair of alligator hide boots. Cost me $300 on sale (this was 1980). Took him back to the pound the next day. Got stuck with a German Shorthaired Pointer that someone had convinced my (ex)husband was a dalmatian with "dirty" colouring. (I never claimed he was smart.) She was one crazy dog. Never could teach her manners. She ended up with a brain tumor at 10 yrs of age, and tried to attack my Mom when she told her no about something. Had to have her put down, too. My very first dog was a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever...bred to look like a fox. Supposedly ducks are fascinated by the white flash on the end of the tail, which is where the "tolling" part of the name comes from. Smartest dog I ever met. You'd show her something once, and she never forgot. She died at 14 of old age, but not before she suffered some through arthritis. I guess it's because of her that I want another dog. I want to see if I can find another one that comes just close to her intelligence.

I guess you're about ready for me to shut up now? Sorry!

Answer 4

I once babysat an iguana. She was sweet, but a lot of work. She wanted so much attention! I was attentive because I was afraid she might get sick or something if she was that social (wanted to be held) and I denied her the company she was used to getting. Constant cage cleaning and washing her greens and putting the calcium on them was also a chore. She wanted to be sprayed down daily and she loved sun baths. Like I said, she was a lot of work because she wasn't mine and I wanted to make sure she was all right.
I don't like rodents, but I had a hamster once. They look like bears in the face and don't have tails so it was kinda cute, but they are pretty fragile and don't live very long.
Cats are sneaky and they don't really bond with you much. They are out for themselves, really. "People don't own cats, cats own people," is a pretty fair assessment. Kittens are cute, but they become cats. Low maintenace pets, really. They don't care how long you are gone as long as they have fresh food and water and a clean litter box. Spraying, yowling and expensive vet bills for females are common. Best to have females spayed and males neutered for their health and your sanity.
Birds are messy. I have had several. I don't care what kind of netting you buy, you'll always have seeds and feathers to clean up. Finches are really great singers. Best to buy them in pairs.
I had one that sang along with Mozart and another that went beserk trying to compete whenever I played Mariah Carey. That's how they got their names! One strong draft and they're dead. Bad landlord cut the heat too early in the season and poof they were gone. Sad.
Turtles carry samonella. (So do iguanas BTW)
Fish require a lot of maintenance. Expensive. Especially tropical breeds.
IMO, pigs belong on farms, period.
Dogs are the best, but it is like having a child. They are very social. If you have a schedule they have to be worked into it. Leaving them alone for too long causes emotional problems. I love dogs. The little ones aren't my favorites (except for Jack Russell terriers.) I like big breeds: shepards, labs, retreivers and good ol' mutts too!
Well, that's my experience with pets. Hope it was helpful. Now I'm an empty nester and I don't want to take care of anything. Even my plants are silk! LOL!
