A house is considered truly warm and cozy when, in addition to people, it is inhabited by some pretty little animal. And, if we are single, we want at least someone to wait for us at home. So, we decided to break our loneliness, and we think what kind of pet to get. If you are a person with a changeable mood or you have long departures ahead of you, think again: do you need to start someone? After all, an animal needs attention, care, time, and, ultimately, certain money, because you will have to feed, treat and care for it.
If you lived well without any living creatures in the house, but your favorite child decided to have a little animal, it’s better to dissuade the child. Young children are not able to answer for their actions. Even if the child vows to assure you that he will feed and walk the animal - do not believe it. In children, attention switches very quickly, and, unfortunately, many of them perceive animals as living plush toys. Having played enough and been hungry for a week, the child will switch to something else. And you will be responsible for it - an adult. Still wondering which animal to get?
Okay, let's think together. We proceed from how much time you are ready to devote to your future pet. Aquarium fish require less attention. Silent creatures will be happy if you regularly feed them and change the water in the aquarium. Fish are, rather, an aesthetic addition to the interior of the apartment.
In choosing which animal to get, a sufficiently busy person should be guided by considerations of a purely material plane. For the terrarium, it is necessary to equip a special corner, and the equipment, and even the exotic animals themselves, are not cheap. Of course, many are attracted by the fact that lizards and snakes are content with one feeding in a few days, but you need to be aware that the food must be alive. For snakes, these are mice, rabbits. Caring for such pets is quite complicated, and you should first read the special literature, consult with veterinarians.
If you have a fairly small apartment, then in your choice of which animal to get, it is better to stay on rodents or birds. Caring for them is relatively easy - just clean the cage, add fresh food and water. Parrots can be taught to speak or buy an already trained bird. But such individuals need to be paid more attention - to communicate with them, to allow them at least occasionally to walk around the apartment. Naturally, at this time all windows should be closed. These pets should not be made to nervous people, bird twitter will annoy them. In addition, you need to be prepared for the fact that feathers and fluff will be scattered around the house.
Rodents - chinchillas, hamsters, guinea pigs, domestic rats and decorative rabbits - are very cute creatures. They are easily tamed, playful, content with little. If the child stubbornly demands a pet, get yourself a pet - a hamster or a guinea pig. Children love such pussies. Domestic rats are smart enough animals. You can walk with them, carrying a small animal on your shoulder. The only minus of hamsters and rats is a short lifespan. For a child, losing a pet after 2 years can result in mental trauma.
If you want real warmth and affection from your pet, then in choosing which animal to get, you have to decide between a cat and a dog. Again, you need to start from your material resources - big dogs eat a lot, cats need real meat and fish. Think about the size of your home - a cramped apartment will become hell for the Serbernard and his owners. If you or your loved ones are allergic, get a hypoallergenic breed of dog or cat. In choosing a pet, proceed from the similarities of character. If you are a calm and sedentary person, a Persian cat or Pekingese will become your best friend. If you like long walks - spaniel, setter is suitable. Noisy games like Siamese cats and poodles. But remember: both dogs and cats require training, and sometimes the presence of a strong-willed character in the owner.
