3) Must be interesting to watch

4) Must not be noisy

5) Must be noise-tolerant (I sing and play guitar all the time. I don't want to stress them out)

Answer 1

fish...

then write a song about them

Answer 2

A hamster, gerbil, rat, guinea pig, or rabbit might be good for you.  

They are easy to maintain, not expensive, rabbits are kind of interesting to watch lol, they don't make noise, they can live from several mounths to ten years, it depends how you take care of them I guess.  But I don't know if they are noise tolerate, sorry.

Answer 3

Here is a list,

a beta, they live a long time, its a fish though =]

a hamster, they don't make that much noise and they don't care about noise =]

an outdoor cat =]

thats all I have =]

Answer 4

Lets see either a bunny or a Geunie pig...

Answer 5

Fish are pretty easy to maintain, and cheap to keep although you might spend a few bucks on the tank, filter, water heater etc.  Most have a short life span, but it really depends on what kind of fish you like and how big they grow.

Answer 6

I think you should get a fish but they don't live that long...maybe a gerbil or hamster,guina pig?!

Answer 7

RABBIT!

I have 2 rabbits currently (soon to be 4 rabbits + some babies currently) and I LOVE having them! Here's a few reasons why:

They are VERY easy to maintain and don't need tons of attention like some of the bigger animals (dogs, horses, farm animals, ect.). Cleaning 2 HUTCHES (and those are bigger/more advanced than normal cages) only takes me like 20 minutes or so (and it's weekly). Feeding them everyday is super easy too. You just give them a nice size scoop of food (depending on breed, size, ect.) and fill their water bottle. If you show them you just have to watch so you don't feed them too much or they'll get chunky ; P

They aren't SUPER expensive either (but their not like buying a hamster either where it's only like $40 for everything, definitely way more worth it though). The main expenses are going to  be getting started.

Here's a list of the things you'll need/maybe want:

Cage = $40-60  OR  Hutch = $150-180

Bunny = $5-50 (depending on if purebred or where you get it)

Food Bowl = $3-10 (depending on size and if it's automatic)

Water Bottle = $3

Toys = $.50-10 each

Litter Box (optional) = $5-10 (depending on size/style)

Food pellets = around $8 for 25 lb bag

Water = FREE!

Litter Pellets = around $8 for 40 lb bag

Shavings (for inside nesting box, if you have one or for bottom of cage if you don't use pellets. You can use both though too) = $5 for huge bag

Fan (optional, but helps keep them cool/prevent heat stroke if outside) = $10-35 (You can use frozen water bottles too)

Litter Scooper = $2

I THINK that's is it, it;s all I can think of right now ;P

That's all for the cost though, so I guess it can be costly when you start off but after that it's very cheap, just buying feed pellets and litter supplies mainly.

WOW, yes they definitely ARE interesting to watch! If you let them run loose outside or in your house or where ever it's bunny proofed they will go wild! They cruise around sometimes out of nowhere and bolt into a binky (where they jump in the air and kick their hind legs out from excitement)! It is hilarious! Trust me, all my bunnies do it when their in my mom's flower garden, which they LOVE! When there in their cage too they make nests (mainly when they are going to have kits, babies) and throw their toys all around and many funny things. Intertaining!!

Noisy? I wouldn't keep them in your room at night because that's when they are awake (nocturnal animals) and their up and busy. For the most part they are very quiet though, that's the truth! Nothing like birds or... really any other animal because they don't neigh or chirp or anything.

They can stand pretty much a lot of noise (when we get our quads/dirt bikes out their fine). So, play away!

They also can live up to 10 years with great care!

Good luck deciding, hope you choose a rabbit!

P.S. They DO NOT smell if you clean their cage weekly, ask my mom (who thought they did at first, well they do if you don't clean it like I said)! Their p**p doesn't smell, it's only their pee. So, just keep it fresh!

P.S.S Showing them and being in 4-H is a BLAST TOO!

Answer 8

well...you obviously don't want a dog or a bird...

especially no animals that live in a cage if you want low maintenance...

Cats are cute and fun to play with and will do their own thing if they want to. the only maintenance is the litter box and regular vet checks.

but what your looking for sounds like a BETA FISH!!

=D

they can be fun to watch they chase things if you put a colorful straw in the tank they chase it. haha...and all you have to do is clean their tank a couple days a week.

they are noise tolerant +

VERY CHEAP $20 for fish,tank, pebbles, decor., and food.

my last beta lives 4 years. and we took VERY good care of him.

=D=D

hope i helped
