what is the best pet that i can have that cost below $100?

Answer 1

a cat it neat but its a big responsibility. Maybe a rabbit? Either way unless you get an animal for free in the paper the costs of supplies and food for the animal will throw you over 100.00. For valentines day one year while still living in dorms my boyfriend and i decided to get fish because they're quiet pretty and cheap (WRONG) 30.00 for a tank, 10.00 for enough gravel, 10.00 for all the things to control the p.h. balance, 10.00 for tank ornaments and then the fish themselves haha. It all sounds like its not all too necessary but if you get a kitten you'll have to get a little box 10.00 litter 5.00 cat food 5.00 toys 10.00 and then take him to the vet so that he has shots and stuff to get rid of fleas. You might want to save up your money or buy the items one at a time until you can finally say "ok now i can get that kitten" so that when you do get him you can start his life out right, i wish i had done that. a year ago i adopted a stray yellow tabby and he was happy for about 8 months and then he just went downhill extremely fast and its because he had gotten hurt and then buy not getting all of his shots etc. it had made him even sicker. Now a bird would be ok i would think, they sell those pretty green and yellow birds for about 20-30.00 a cage is about 20.00 and then you need bird seed which is dirt cheap haha, all you need in the bottom is old newspapers and a toy can be a mirror or they sell them for pretty cheap at pet stores.

Answer 2

It can differ from approximately $one hundred to $three hundred or extra, relying on whether or not you stick with the turtles demands or pass complete hog and what kind of paintings you're inclined to do. For instance, the tank. You can get an aquarium that's no less than 10 gallons in step with inch of shell (and recall that turtles develop rapidly). That might set you again a few hundred correct there, if you are going to buy new. However, the central element is backside subject, so that you might additionally get whatever low and vast, like a wading pool. To begin, a three' diameter pool would paintings ($eight-10). Filters maintain the tank blank otherwise you might spend plenty of time cleansing the tank and exchanging the water. UVB basking lighting are costly and also you have got to change them each 6 months. Or you might feed the turtle liver to permit it ingest its nutrition D. Liver is low-cost meals, too. You can get different well meals on the bait retailer: earthworms and bait fishes. You might purchase a posh basking platform or wedge a slab of picket within the tank at a moderate perspective. Get the proposal?

Answer 3

An adult cat from the Humane Society or any other rescue.

There are so many adult cats that need homes. The kittens always find homes, however, people don't realize what a great pet an adult cat is. I have adopted 3 cats as adults, and 3 as kittens. The adults are just as wonderful as the kittens.

Sure, kittens are adorable and all...but they need to be litterbox trained, they can be very energetic. An adult cat is most likely already trained. They too can be energetic and play like a kitten! Try a laser pointer, it can lead to plenty of amusement!

I say cats because cats are mostly independant. You give them food, water, and a clean litter box and they are happy. A dog would require having to take on walks and exercise, where a cat takes care of itself.

Cats are more fun and interactive and have more personality than say a small rodent. I have a cat who is the sweetest thing on earth! They are also cute and cuddly, unlike a bird or reptile!

So yeah, an adult cat from a rescue would be an awesome pet! Plus, the adults are less expensive to adopt than a kitten!

Good luck finding a pet!

Answer 4

A pet rock!

If it's that you happen to have an extra hundred bucks and are looking for a cheap pet, it concerning . . . what happens when you need to take that cat or dog or snake to the vet and the bill is $186 or $250?? You also need to look at the maintenance costs of a pet . . . initial costs such as collars, litter, cage / crate, food, first vet visit and then the annual or bi-annual vet visits and possible emergency visits. Also, depending on where you live you may have to shell out more money (apartment may have a pet fee, your city may require you to register you animal with a fee).

And keep in mind, cats and dogs can hang around 15 to 20 years, long term investment. So, unless you are ready for all of this and can afford everything behind that first $100, stick with the pet rock.

Answer 5

Answer 6

If you get a puppy or a kitten you will also need money ontop for vaccines and rabies to protect from getting ill and dying and also to neuter. so can be expensive most vet charge roughly $50 just for the office call then the cost of vaccine on top of that

Some pet choices that do not require a bunch of vetting:

I have heard that rats make great pets and that they can be very interactive with humans and are litter trainable

Answer 7

There's several pets you can have under $100, though some critters, such as birds, end up more expensive due to cage, toys, food and other necessities. Plus there's those vet exams!

Most rodents are affordable, even with the extras. This includes rats, hamsters, mice, gerbils and sometimes, guinea pigs. Budgies can be rather affordable but it depends on where you get it, and if you get used cages/perches. Cockatiels are borderline as $100 and under pets, as, like the budgies, it can depend on where you get it, and if you get used items.

Sometimes cats and dogs come under $100, but things add up, such as spaying/neutering and vet bills.

Answer 8

It always comes to "depends", do you want to be able to hold your pet or do you want to just look at ?
Hamster with a cage will cost you under $100 and you can hold it. A fish with a tank and a few accessories will also cost you under $100.

Answer 9

Depends on your situation. I live in a mild climate (California). For this climate, a box turtle is a pretty good pet.

Not interested in reptiles, eh? How about an aquarium with fish? I bet a cichlid would make a pretty good pet.

Nope? Okay. I'll go along with the others who said cat. I've had a cat almost all of my life. Most of them were free. My present cat, Junior, had even been neutered and given his shots before he adopted me (his previous owner died, and Junior just wandered on over from across the street).

Answer 10

I got my cat for about $ 90 in those Humaine Socities places, you can try pet stores and see for their prices.

Fish, are pretty cheap. Some stores might sell certain fish for under $ 5, but you have to buy tanks and stuff.

It really depends actually..
