Cat, Dog or Spider? Which pet would you prefer
Unsure of what pet to get- heres a few bullet points about a few animals you may consider.
- Cats. Cats dont need to be taken out for walks, are well groomed and quiet animals (except when they want feeding). Their nocturnal animals so they only really come to life at night, going out to bring you back live mice as a present bless ‘em. Cats will cost alittle less than a dog because cats dont require the training that a dog has, but thats only alittle less.
- Dogs. Do they deserve the title ‘mans best friend’? A dog requires being taken for a walk every day, if not every other day, which can be great exercise for both dog and owner. Dogs are going to need some training, but are very loyal animals to their owners (or their pet!!).
- Rodents. Mice, Hamsters, Gerbils and Rats. The little critters can go on for about a year and a half, though dont be surprised if they go on for alittle longer. the right sized cage is important -rats are the bigger rodent and mice may escape through bigger holes in the bars. Remember a wheel for exercise, but replace it if it starts squeaking so your not kept up all night.
- Rabbits and Guinea pigs. Both can move quicker than you think, so be prepared to chase them around the garden. Either animal will require a hutch to stay in, plus a run for them to enjoy in the summer, but not escaping from the garden. Give them fresh lettuce/ carrots to go with their feed, and you must move their hutches into somewhere warm when winter sets in.
- Snakes. A snake can be very costly given the accommodation they need, they equipment to control the temperature and mice for them to eat. The cost of the snake is going to depend on the size of the snake.
- Spiders. A spider will require a container to keep it in (with breathing holes!) a steady supply of bugs to be eaten and a spouse that wont panic when they escape.
