Apartment Pets

The Hamster is generally a child's pet and may be the best choice for most. Guinea pigs are renowned as outgoing and affectionate pets that are very easy to take care of. The animal can live very well on simple pellet foods and enjoys are large enclosure or can even do well in an open sectioned off portion of the apartment. With enough space, a Guinea Pig can be trained to use a litter box. Guinea pigs can become very attached to their human caretakers and make a small squeaking sound at times. The guinea pig enjoys an active life and can make an exceptional apartment pet for your children.

I used to have Hamsters- I loved them as a child. then as an adult I got a couple more and started a breeding operation and soon had over 50.. lol _ I tend to overdo things a bit. But they make great pets. The downside is they only last a couple of years. but they are fairly inexpensive. they were a lot cheaper for me because I bought food and everything in bulk..lol Good luck.

Something such as a hamster, mouse or rat would probably be the best idea. Hermit crabs are quite interesting. I have two of them myself but they're not easy to care for pets. They require a lot of work. Hamsters and mice just require, food, water and a bedding change every now and then.

How about a gerbil, hamster, or rat? A lizard maybe? Or a hermit crab? Maybe a bird? Some species of birds can be rather loud and obnoxious and wouldn't be a good choice for apartment living, so be sure to do your homework before you decide to get one, if you do. Good luck and happy mylotting!
