What animal is easier to take care of?
:( about your hamster. That's very sad. Although I love ferrets, a guinea pig is definitely easier to care for. Ferrets are very different from most other small pets. Whislt a cage is good as a safe refuge, they really need a lot of exercise space in the house, which means ferret-proofing some rooms. They are incredible escape artists and you need to check all eletrical appliances before turning them on to make sure a ferret is not hiding inside (dishwashers, microwaves, washing machines etc). They are also big chewers. Ferrets are amazing animals, but they are a huge commitment. Guinea pigs are not in the same league as ferrest in terms of fun and intelligence, but they are sweet and enjoy cuddles. They do smell a bit though, as do ferrets. If you are looking for a compromise between the two, a pair of rats would be perfect. Intelligent and comical, like ferrets, they are also really sweet and love to be held, and can stay in cages with just an hour of free-range time per day. :) Good luck finding the right pet for you. Remember that the set-up for rats, guinea pigs or ferrets is expensive and vet bills are a factor to consider. :)
Are there other animals that are easy to take care of, like cats?
Honestly cats are pretty easy to care for. The other would be a dog, once you’ve trained them. Housebreaking is probably the most difficult aspect when it comes to a dog, and when it comes to activity levels you can adopt/purchase a dog that fits your lifestyle.Oh, someone just commented that hamsters would be a good pet as well. They really don’t require any training and you don’t have to worry about them destroying your home either.Another suggestion is a snake. Snakes are super super low maintenance. They don’t need to eat every day and you don’t need to clean up after them as much as a hamster. Ball pythons are the perfect beginner snake!**I don’t recommend everyone to get a skunk - they require a special type of person to be willing to work with their personalities**Another interesting indoor pet is skunks (however, these guys are related to ferrets - so they can be a bit more work than a cat). That is if your state allows you to have skunks as pets. Skunks can be easily be kept indoors just like cats or dogs. There are even breeders of pet skunks in most northern states that specifically breed for certain traits. Skunks are very intelligent, can be litter trained and are very curious. They are so curious it can put them in trouble! That curiosity is why I tend to recommend them with some caution. They can get caught in couches and recliners causing them to “dig” out. This will leave some furniture in the not so best condition. Doing a quick google search will list you lots of skunk breeders and what their care entails. My mother had a pet skunk and we sure enjoyed her! I do speak from personal experience that they can be very very destructive, but they have a ton of personality!Here as some cute skunk pictures! (sorry, they are just so cute)
What are some animals that are easy to take care of?
There is no animal that is easy to take care of. Every kind of animal needs certain type of maintaining. Pet ownership means responsibility. If you cannot have the responsibility of a pet it is better not to have the poor animal. Here are some cons of so called easy pets;1. Hamster: Sleeps during the day, wakes up durung the night and start to make noise all night. Cage stinks.2. Fish/aquarium: needs regular water changing, feeding and maintenance. Evaporating water will cause humidity and smell in the room. Not even mentioning torture bowls.3. Budgie: needs regular celeaning and feeding. Highly social animals needs constant relation if not they will be wild as hell. They tend to be very noisy.4. Cat: yes easier then dogs. But they still need mental situmulation and exercise. Also they tend to scratch, bite and sprey.5. Tarantula: you cannot pet a tarantula. You have to supply live food for feeding.6. Rabbit: needs large cage and plant material to eat. If you are thinking to throw 1 kg of carrot in her cage every week, things does not work like that. They poop constantly and their pee smells like hell.7. Red eared turtle: first they are not pets. They need huge aquarium with dry resting and basking spots. Your penny size turtle wil be growing to almost a baketball size. Also if you do not change the water regularly, the water would definitely stink.The people who cannot handle that responsibility should have a Pet Rock.

What's the easiest pet to take care of?
Hens! It sounds silly but seriously, read this; You literally just feed them, give them water and clean their house! That's it! :D PLUS they live out side! PLUS you get free eggs! PLUS they are adorable and fluffy! PLUS they follow you around the garden! PLUS they snooze on your lap which is really cute! PLUS they are really really cheap to keep! I have four named Maisie, Rosie, Holly and Penny. Two are from a battery farm and we rescued them. Two are from a proper breeder and we raised them from chicks! I love them all so much. :') They are inquisitive and friendly and loved to be handled and stroked. They follow you EVERYWHERE! All in a little line, bless. :D xxx
What are some of the hardest animals to take care of as pets?
I think it would be different depending on knowledge and skill level. For me, horses are easy. I’ve been around them my whole life, and horsemanship is second nature to me. For someone who has never been near a horse, caring for them would be incredibly difficult, but not impossible.I haven’t spent much time around birds, reptiles, or fish, and I know there would be a significant amount of research, asking for help from people who have experience with those, and probably a pretty high failure rate if I chose those as pets. I have a bit more experience with things like rabbits, guinea pigs (although I’m highly allergic to them), and hamsters, but I would need to learn more about them before feeling comfortable enough to own one.Personally, I think cats are slightly easier than dogs, being that they’re more independent and easier to house train. But I still prefer dogs.
Which pets are the easiest to take care of?
Keeping a pet is a huge responsibility. Just loving your pet isn’t enough, you have to ensure that it is getting proper nutrition, exercise, regular medical checkups, etc. So, if there is a difficult situation in your family, then it s best not to keep a pet (it will break your heart ten times over if something happens to it on your watch-I have los a couple myself, so I know).What you can do, if you really love animals, is volunteer at an animal shelter near your home. There, you can take care of animals as much as you want, help them find a good home, and find out exactly what ‘maintaining’ a pet means. Then, if you feel you are up for it, by all means get your own!However, if you REALLY want your own pet in your house, I would say go with a simple goldfish bowl. Fish are low-maintenance, you need to change their water daily and feed them twice a day (the frequency of both can be changed depending on advice from your vet). That being said-beware, fish are very delicate. Make sure you don’t hurt them while changing the water in their bowl, overfeed or underfeed them. They should get some sunlight daily. Also, avoid crowding too many fish in a small bowl, they need as much oxygen as they can get! And keep a sharp lookout-if you see that your fish is sluggish, or is behaving unusually, a visit to the vet may be in order!!!
What's an exotic pet that's easy for a kid to take care of?
As an owner of 2 exotic reptiles (and 1 exotic mammal) I can tell you that there is no easy exotic pet. They all require a lot of work, and can easily live 10+ years. So remember will this kid want the pet in 2 or 4 or 8 years. Exotics also require tons of research (never pet store information) and generally huge enclousers. They are also a lot of money. I put about $100 into just 2 pets every month and when the big stuff runs out the prices skyrocket. Wait until the kid is a teen otherwise adopt a pet that us a family respondsibility.
