How many times have we asked our parents for a pet? Once? Twice? More than a thousand times? I know for me it was about more than a million times. Now don't get me wrong, I've had pets. Actually they've all been hamsters (except one... no wait two). But I was wondering, what are exactly are the best pets for someone to have?
Well let me tell you, hamsters are fun pets to have, inexpensive, and hardly any work to do. But they are nocturnal creatures, meaning they sleep doing the day and play at night. Not only that, but they can easily slip out of small cracks and holes, a.k.a they can escape easily.... not the best pets to have. In addition to bad pets, is turtles and iguanas. Now don't get me wrong, I had a turtle too, but reptiles (yes a turtle is a reptile) naturally carry the salmonella virus. This can make little kids very sick. Not to mention that most males are very aggressive at certain times of the year. Now even though reptiles are not really recommended, corn snakes make excellent pets for children above the age of 6. They need only one mouse a week and a heating lamp in one corner.
In addition to this great pet, there are also many more. Dogs and cats also make very good pets. Though they are a handful, and not recommended for children under the age of 5, dogs and cats teach children how to be responsible. Feeding, washing, and making sure the pet is healthy are just part of the many the child or children have. The effectiveness of the duty to keep up the pet is high and it instills high priority evaluation in the owner.
