A guinea pig! :) They are cute and loveable. However, she has to be careful and mindful that it is a small animal and can get hurt if she does anything reckless to it. Buy her a little book on piggie care or something.

Answer 4

hello there!

you want your sister to have a new pet?hmmm...

i wouldn't suggest a rabbit.though it is a popular belief that rabbits make good child pets,IT IS NOT TRUE!mostly adults are the ones who usually really takes care of the rabbit.not the child.as a rabbit usually need a lot of caring and verterinary needs.they get sick at even the slightest changes in their bodies and a child caring for it will be no help at all.i'm not really against having a rabbit as a pet.i'm just saying that it's not suitable as a pet for children.

i suggest maybe a ferret.but of course it depends on your country if they'll allow any ferret ownerships.some countries ban ferret ownership in their territories...a ferret is typically not also a child pet but they are easier to take care than rabbits.they are like rabbits when it comes to taking care fo them but unlike rabbits,they usually have no unusual dietary needs.

birds can also be a great option as a pet.there are many varieties to choose from but a great beginner bird is a lovebird.the popular belief that they won't survive without a companion is not true.breeders,zoologists,vets and ornithologists have already proven this.lovebirds can be kept as one.but it needs more bonding with the owner. when kept alone.birds are a little harder to tame and it needs time and patience to do so.

exotic pets is not encouraged as a pet for for beginners and childs as it uaually end up with the exotic animal dead after a while.

i hope i helped!good luck with choosing!

Answer 5

If your mom can handle the smell get a ferret! They are great pets! They stink a little, but if you clean their cage daily and wash them once a week they don't smell that bad!

They are hyperactive, bundles of joy! So much fun :) I have had 3 since I was about 9. I wish I had one now, but I will again someday. Make sure you guys research their care beforehand. They are easy to care for, but definitely are different than any other pet.

Also, chinchillas are fun, guniea pigs also, and you can litter train bunnies!

Answer 6

A ferret! You can walk a ferret and they don't need as much looking after as a dog.

Answer 7

A white tree frog!  Very cute and they are cool pets!

EDIT* Tree frogs are not icky. I bought one for my step-daughter for Christmas and she is scared of everything or thinks everything is icky but she loves this frog. He's not super tiny and he fits into the palm of your hand. He sits on her shoulder when she is watching tv or he get in a crease of her shirt while she is sitting and he nestles in. He also will jump sometimes and stick to the dresser or the wall. He's just a neat little guy not like frogs you find outside with the warts and bumps on them.

You can't keep him out all of the time because he needs moisture.
