Hi friends.. Once I own a dog, cat, pigeon, rabbit, mouse, fish, and other reptiles.... I grow up in a farm..so I even have chickens, pigs, goats, carabao's, cows etc. Now I'm living in city...And I have four dog..And I want to buy another pet..I'm thinking if I buy another dog, or cat, or rabbit, or mouse, and everyday I think of another pets like an exotic kind..And now I realize that I need your help guys! cause if I let my self decide I will buy all the animals that I see in animal store..lolz..They so many and they so cute..But budget wise and the space that I live in its impossible unless I will return to country life.. So what can you suggest? and maybe you can add name for me to. My top of the list today is song bird.. Only need small cages..There not really pretty but their song are soothing. but it cost a lot..

Hi Bulastika. If you want exotic, why not try to buy a baby phyton or something. Or something like a MYNA ( speaking bird ) but you have to train it every afternoon. How about try to buy yourself am iguana lizard. Hehehe Well it all depends on how your lifestyle in the city maybe. TO: Sir Bobby I dont agree that fishes is easy to take care of. They can easily die if you don't know what your doing. They are not that cheap either. It really depends on what fish you like. Some fish cost more than 500$. And if that fish die.. OMG hehehe

I think bunny is good. But make sure you pet your bunny as much as possible, so it will get used to it. That way you can avoid getting hit by their hind legs and claws. I tell you friend. They really hurt. And you will definitely bleed from it. I know I have 2 bunnies..

As far as I am concerned, I think you should buy a pet just a you like so much. For me, I like moneky so much . So I usually go to the the animal park where I can see the monkey as long as I like. I just can enjoy them this way. I think If you like a dog so much, then you can buy a dog home as you pet. So happy you can get a pet that you loves so much.

We once had a monkey. My cousin had a funny experience with our monkey. They really like finding some parasites in your hair. And they tend to it it. There was one time that the monkey was doing my cousins hair for a short time. Then suddenly, the monkey held her head and f@#ked her ears. It was so funny. Ahahaha.. But as for my cousin. I doubt it.

I would surely suggest you start with fishes because they are much more easier to take care off and cheaper to maintain .

What kind of fish? I love exotic fish.. But if you want me to buy fish I want a big fresh water fish, or cat fish.. I tried small fish before but I don't have a green thumb for fishes.. I already breed fish..But sad to say all of the fry die and also may breeding pair..I don't know how to take care of the fish..Maybe because I give to much attention that depress them...Cold blooded fish..lolz.. I like warm blooded cause I can pet them..But fishes..They want to be feed and be lived alone.. ......... But still I want to have fish..My sister has fish..arowana..Its almost three feet long..

Taking good care of fishes is really not for novice. You have to prepare your tank before you even go to the market and buy your fish. Make sure your tank don't build up on ammonia. Aerate it and make sure your filter is working. Look for the PH level. nutral PH level is a must for fresh water fish. If your planning to put some decorations or live plants do so, it helps oxygenate the water. Air pump is for aeration only and not for oxygen. The water must move frequently so it wont build up on ammonia once yor fishes arrive. Let your tank sit for atleast 2 days before you go and buy your fishes. And if you have them dont remove your fish from the water it acme from immidiately. Soak the whole bag of fish and water on your tank for atleast 30 minutes before letting them go. The reason, to let them adjust on your tanks temperature slowly. I think thats the very basic for starting a fresh water aquarium.

first, make sure you have the space for another animal. then make sure it will get along with the animals you already have and you can take care of them together without any problems. also, make sure you can afford another animals. and make sure it can live in a city environment. some animals need a bigger space, like a farm, suburb with a big yard, a house, etc. smaller animals are usually a better fit for city areas in apartments and townhouses. so, analyze your situation and all the animals on your list before you make your choice.

Wow...you have four dogs that's quite a lot on my own standard. One pet dog is enough for me. Yes...a bird is very nice too. We do have two pet turtles in the house. But city life is not a good habitat for turtles unless you have a wide backyard. Goodluck on your bird pet.

if you live in a small unit,I suggest you have a pet that is in a cage or aquarium.you can have birds,hamsters,guinea pigs,or fish.for dogs and cats,a place where they can roam around is important.a yard is a place for them to play.in a condominium apartment,it is a bit difficult if they don't have space to roam in.
