Fish. Or rabbits.

Well, I wouldn't say fish, because I'm seen kids take them out of their bowls and play with them. Not a bird, because they'll fly away, or bite your children.. Not a hampster, because I've seen smaller kids literally squeeze them to death. Your best bet is a guinea pig or a dwarf rabbit. Maybe a turtle would be a good idea too

Seeing as you will be the one doing clean up etc... how much work do you want to put into a pet, how much time and money?
*Hamsters/gerbils/mice are pretty low maintenance... as are fish (turtles take a bit more work and more expensive set ups)
*Rats require a bit more work than the above.
*Guinea pigs require more work than a rat...
*Rabbits (and ferrets/chinnies) require a lot more work than any of these others pets, I spend more time maintaining my rabbits than my cats and dogs.

What about a rat or a rabbit? Maybe a bearded dragon. You have to consider what you want to take care of and how much money you are willing to spend. Rats are great pets and very affectionate.

Your puppy is nice now because of the fact she's a puppy. while she gets older, you're maximum possibly to have an on-going conflict on your place if your JR would not kill her earlier then. Jack Russell Terriers are feisty little canines who require early education to evade long-term biting and digging issues. Even the gentlest of breeds may well be violent ones, enormously in the event that they don't seem to be given adequate socialization and education. did you know that the breeds that are greater possibly to chew are those human beings hardly think of approximately - like the cuddly toy poodle or the Jack Russell Terrier? i assume i'm taken back with the aid of the fact which you introduced a clean puppy right into a house with an out of control, agressive canines who bites. if your Jack isn't neutered, try this now. Many Jack vendors discover that they have got been unprepared for the care required for JR's and did no longer understand the character of the breed. Jack Russell's are no longer the appropriate puppy for each guy or woman. He has his share of terrier aggression in direction of different canines and is deadly in direction of animals it considers to be prey. He could even see your little puppy no longer in user-friendly terms as prey, yet opposition for supplies, that's why they are able to't eat mutually. that's a variety of militant streak that commonly (no longer constantly) makes it perplexing to maintain a Jack Russell in a house with different canines, even different Jackies. Like maximum terriers, the Jack Russell is a digger and a barker if no longer given adequate threat to indulge those dispositions outdoors, he could dig holes interior the fixtures and bark at each thing that strikes. He desires a activity. you want an animal behaviorist. He desires an incredible type of workout and he desires a coach who makes a speciality of addressing particular aggression & JR issues. it extremely is your in user-friendly terms ray of wish at this factor because of the fact it has long previous on too long and has long previous thank you to far with out intervention. there is not any longer something you're able to do on your own. you're able to be able to desire to have professional help.

Stuffed.
Hamsters and other small rodents only live a couple of years, so unless you have some HUGE need to traumatize your small children, I'd skip those. Fish, birds, turtles, hermit crabs, etc, aren't exactly child cuddly.
Rabbits and ferrets aren't exactly renown for putting up with children.

When I was a kid I had an ant farm and it was great. No mess, easy to take care of, and very fun to watch the progress of the ants whenever I wanted to.

Not something small, like a hamster because they might accidentally hurt it. Not something that can get away easily, like a bird. Not something too big because they might be afraid. How about a ginea pig?!
