What kind of pet should I get?

I'm a student and I want a pet. What should I get? I was thinking about rodents hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies etc. What do you think is the best choice? Please don't say a dog I know it's the best but I don't have the time to make it happy.

    I agree with rats. They are very intelligent and fun little creatures. They can learn their names and most love water so baths are easy. I have heard that bearded dragons are very fun to have as pets also and they are friendlier than most reptiles. If you don't have allergies though, I would say go with a rodent! A bunny or guinea pig would be a great option too. Just make sure you do your research first! Good luck! :)

    I think a Gecko (type of lizard) because it is easy to take care of them and what you need for them is water and food and you need a bowl for food and water and what they eat are Mealworms, Crickets, pinkies (a baby mouse), a small feeder fish and Roaches. The easy food to feed them are Mealworms and Crickets. To feed them you need small Mealworms and a bowl so you can put the small Mealworms in the bowl and he/she will go eat when it gets hungry and you can feed it Crickets and just throw some in there and your Gecko will be happy but first do a little research before you buy them.

    Hope this helped :)

    I think a guinea pig because they can be kept inside or out and are friendly easy to handle and great company.

    You're not gonna believe my answer, but rats. Yes rats. People think rats are dirty and wild but actually rats are known to be less agressive than other rodents

    I'd recommend a rat. They are very friendly and sociable creatures. And if you spend enough time with them, you can even teach them simple tricks. They are pretty cheap and are quite low maintenance (as long as you keep them entertained). c:

  • I recommend a rat. They are lovey, cuddly, and sweet. Feeding is easy, and playing with them is fun.
