What is a good pet for..?

Question

What is a good pet for a teenager? My son is 13 and he really wants a pet.

I need something that will be good!

Answer 1

goldfish, aw yea

or since your a rodent expert, one of those, maybe a fancy rat?

rabbits too

Answer 2

maybe a hamster

Answer 3

A cat, Independent enough that they don't need as much attention and care as a dog but affectionate and fun pets. I got my cat when I was 12 she was my first cat and I have had her 5 years. I am now completely convinced that I won't ever be with out a cat for as long as I live. If you do decide to one I suggest that you go to your local animal shelter and adopt one and also if you haven't had one before I recommend that you get a kitten because they such good fun.

Answer 4

Snakes and lizards are usually very popular with boys of all ages, but if you are looking for more of the... warm, fuzzy creatures then I would suggest rats, monkeys, and  dogs. And yes you can own a monkey depending though on any state restrictions/laws. And dogs are usually always a safe bet. Good luck on finding the right one!!

Answer 5

SEAMONKEYS

Answer 6

Chincilla!

Oh my gosh - those little creatures are so cute. They don't like to be picked up I don't think. I'm not sure - you're the expert!

I think this is a good pet for your 13 year old son! I'm not sure, but get him a cute little Chincilla. They're so cuddly and soft. I think anyway. lol.

Well, best of luck! Hope this helped you! He'll like it, I promise!

I had guinea pigs growing up... He just needs to clean the cages once a week and make sure he feeds them everyday. I also had hamsters and rats. Not wild rats, but tame rats. Or else a small puppy...

Answer 11

a dog would be good if u think he's ready for one. I know a lot of teen boys who have a dog and are in love with them.

But if u don't think he's ready for a dog...get him something small like a lizard or snake...u know, something boys like :-)

Answer 13

a hamster, ther good cuz theyll teach ur kid about responsibility. you have to be resposible for feeding them, playing with them and changing their bedding. they're also good cuz they aren't stinky, and they are really friendly and lovable pets. I use to have one, so i know.

Answer 14

I am 13, and i find that a dog is a good companion, a bunny is a good companion, and a horse. But i dnt know if youlive any where that u would be able to have a horse, but otherwise go for the dog, or bunny! :)

Answer 15

When I was 13 I wanted a pet rat more than anything.(well, I didn't get one until I was 18!) Personally, I think rats are ideal "teen pets". They are full of personality, are easy to care for, & have mild shock value. Teens love that! Whether you love them or hate them, rats attract attention. I used to love carrying my Rosie around & have people either want to pet her & ask questions about her, or  would be repulsed by her. I used to feel smug when people were repulsed. They had no idea how GREAT pet rats are!

But have you asked your son what he wants in a pet? There's a good jumping off point. What does he like? Good luck & happy hunting!

Answer 16

Hamster,Guinea Pig, Rat, Mouse, Lizard, Bird,Turtle, or if you are up to the challenge, A DOG! I have also heard that ferrets make GREAT pets, especially if your son wants a companion, ferrets LOVE people!

Answer 17

snake
