Question

I need a pet that doesn't smell, doesn't make alot of noise, is small, and doesn't require ALOT of care. something that i can play with.

not a pet rock, or a stuffed animal, or a fish, fish are boring. i need one that can stay in my room, I'm thinking a ferrett. any suggestions?

ok so i've decided on a hamster, now how can i convince my parents im responsile enough to get one? and can anybody tell me some stuff abot hamsters, im doing some research and....so ya???

and my best friend has a ferrit named bruiser and hes the sweetest thing, and he doesnt smell, they don't even keep him in a cage and he ets along fine with her 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 10 gerbils (but the gerbils are kept in a cage so..)

Answer 1

Try a turtle. That's about the only pet that fits your description.

Ferret is definitely a bad idea.

Answer 2

A nice corn snake could be exactly what you are looking for.
They eat (frozen food) once a week up to every 2 weeks, and "go to the bathroom" similiarly as often. (They always will require a full water bowl.) Very easy to clean up. They don't make any noise. If you handle them frequently they will be very friendly. If you're too busy to "play" with them for a week they won't mind. They can be kept in a fish tank with a screen top so they won't take up a lot of room.

p.s. A ferrett would be the opposite of everything you are looking for in a pet and hampsters can smell to high heaven.

Answer 3

No on the ferret if you're going for easy and not smelly.

There are no easy pets. You will have smells since all pets are living creatures with a need to eliminate waste. It's up to you to keep them clean, which goes back to being a lot of care. If you want a pet to stay in your room, try a hamster, they are small and cute and don't require a terrible amount of care.

Triops are another idea, but they are a lot like fish.

Perhaps you're not ready for a pet if you don't want to put much effort into it.

Answer 4

A rabbit is very cool. Also, leapard geckos and cats.

Rabbits are fairly clean and very social. They are easy to litterbox train and are dinural (most active at dawn and dusk) so if you go to school or work they don't mind so much. You just get them out of their cage or pen every day to let them run around and play with you.

To find a rabbit:

Get one from a shelter or find a breeder in your area who actively shows their rabbits and consistently places well.

Go to the ARBA website and go to their breed photos page. You'll be able to see the may different breeds there are.

Like dogs, different rabbit breeds are known for their unique traits such as type of coat, level of activity, and temperament. So pic a few breeds you think you might like and then do a little research on them.

If you click on the breed pictures on the ARBA website you will be linked to the national breed club for that particular breed of rabbit. Once there, you can learn more about the breed and find state or local breed rabbit clubs.

You can contact the national or state club secretary to ask them to refer you to a reputable breeder in your area. The show world is small and the will likely know at least a few personally.

Which ever breeder you choose, make sure they are actively showing their rabbits in ARBA sanctioned rabbit shows and are esteemed by their fellow exhibitors.

Expect health and temperament gaurantees and personal support from the breeder for the life of your rabbit.

Breeds I recommend for a first time bunny person:

Himilayan and Jersey Wooly hands down. They are both known for being easy to handle and having very friendly personalities

Happy pet hunting.

Answer 5

Geckos and lizzards are great for your description along with a snake, but if you're a bit uncomfortable with these animals, guinea pigs and hamsters are some other good options.

It will be hard to escape the smell though! Make sure you clean out your hamster/guineapig/snake/lizard's cage every week!

Ferrets are'nt exactly that great, and sometimes they aren't allowed as pets in certain states. Ferrets stink like heck! They can spray like a skunk too, and aren't what you call loving (Beware: THEY BITE!!! A LOT!!!) They take a lot of work and attention, even though they don't exactly show you any respect. I like hedgehogs better. They're adorable!

If you don't want smell/large animals, a cat is not for you. Their poop stinks and their pee is hard to get rid of carpet, but they're my favorite animals in the world. They're adorable, loving, and they love to play! Keep them in mind, if you don't want any other small animals.

Good luck! Hope this helped!

Answer 6

The way I see it you should either own a pet rock or forget about having a pet because even small rodents require a certain amount of care. You are far too lazy the way it sounds. Get a boy friend there fun and you can play with them.

Answer 7

What about a hamster?
- they dont squeal, or bark or whine
- it is small enough to fit in your hand
- it is cute and fuzzy
- it is cheap
- you just need to fill it's food dish once a day
- you can hold him and make obstical courses for him
- it doesnt smell like anything

want a hamster? here are the few things you'll need:

- a small cage
- a tiny food dish
- a bag of hamster food
- woodchips for the cage
- a cage water bottle like this:http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/861/90023705.JPG


I hope you choose hamsters as your next pet! have a nice day

Answer 8

I wouldn't recommend a ferret, they stink A LOT. Chinchillas are more or less the same size as a ferret, only with a more compact build. They are very playful, and their cages don't take a tremendous effort to clean. (We clean ours with our Shop Vac. lol) They don't smell near as bad as ferrets do either, actually they don't really smell at all if you keep up their cage and dust house well... I would recommend looking into chinchillas a bit. ;)

Answer 9

From what I hear, Ferrets can cause a lot of smell once they are older. They urinate all over the place. Realistically, probably a Chinchilla if you're going towards the Ferret direction. Hamster, some sort of Rodent, in Example: Guinea Pig.

Or a house dog if you're willing to spend time to potty train it and teach it not to bark often.

Answer 10

A ferret requires a lot of care and if you don´t bathe them once a week they smell really bad...sorry but I don´t think you´ll find a pet that requires little care, every pet needs attention....

Answer 11

Ferrets are very high maintence, expensive and need much attention. Your best bet would be to go with a dwarf rabbit. They are small, quiet, and if litter trained, do not have strong odors.
Bunnies love attention, but can be left alone, which they are fine with. Very low maintance animal, and at a resonable price at the pet stores.
