Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

Hamsters are really fun and you can design cool cages for them with tubes and everything. Rabbits are great too but are alot more responsability then people think they need to be spayed/neuteured/vaccinated/nails trimmed/ sometimes teeth filed. They need an indoor cage for bad weather, an outdoor one for good weather and a huge enclosure that they can run around in like crazy. That's what my rabbits have and they are happy and healthy.

Answer 11

My bearded dragon has been a blast.

But I also really liked my guinea pigs when I had them.

And I've had a hedge hog and he was interesting.

I had a shark once to but I wouldn't say he was exciting.

Answer 12

I have a parakeet named Smurf and hes pretty awesome!!!!! But you have to be really gentle with them!!!!!! Chincillas sound pretty cool as well as Snakes!!!!!!

Answer 13

Guinea pigs are the best! I want one sooo bad!!

Answer 14

I had a rat named ratfinks who was so loveable and smart, I could teach her tricks and she loves attention from people. Rats do not smell (as long as you clean her cage) and they love to be held. I used to have a guinea pig but she had trouble learning not to pee on carpets, people, etc.. Rats do not pee on you or bite you. They are very social animals.

*sniff, miss my Finkers. :(

Answer 15

i would get 2 guinea pigs! guinea pigs are super social (after they get used to), very easy to maintain (just need their cage changed once a week & daily refilling of food+water), can do supercool tricks!! mine will turn in a circle after you say her name. really soft & easy to handle (they'll sit on your lap & just sit there...whereas hamsters run around & don't really like being handled)

the only downside with guinea pigs is that they need their nails to be trimmed once a month (which you could easily do, it's just scary at first) & they do need quite alot of room to romp around b/c they like to run around =)

but other than that, they live for 5-8 years & are really low maintenance.  if you decide to get one, you should get 2 because

they'll get lonely. :)

good luck choosing a critterr! all animals are awesomeee :DD
