What Animal Should I Get No Cats Or Dogs Or Hamsters. I Have Two Guinea Pigs That I

Should I get a Guinea pig, a cat, or a hamster? 20 POINTS!?

I would suggest a guinea pig. They are really loving, affectionate, playful, cute and you can really bond with them. They are easy to look after, rarely bite, you can keep more than one (well, you have to!!), cheap to keep (although can be pricey when you first get them as you need to buy a hutch, run etc) and make really sweet noises. You need to get them out of their hutch at least once a day for cuddles and floor time. They also need time in an outdoor run in the warmer months. They can be kept indoor or out in pairs/groups - preferably of the same sex, though they can be neutered. Guinea pigs live on average from 4 - 8 years so a middle life span. I personally think they are an ideal pet, especially for a young person as they are fairly simple to keep and love to be cuddled. They are a very rewarding pet, if you put in the time and effort, as you can form a special bond and trust with a guinea pig, that is just not the same as a hamster.

Hamsters can be lovely pets but bite more often, take longer to tame and only live about two years. However they are extremely adorable, cheap, fairly low-maintenance and can become very loving and affectionate towards you.

Cats also are very loving, playful and you can become very close to them, however they can be expensive and are more independent. They have very distinct personalities which is a lovely thing, but can sometimes mean they are particularly shy, vicious, hate being petted, picked up etc... They live for 15ish years, so are a big commitment and are quite high maintenance. Alternatively, another pet you might like is a rat, so take that into consideration as well!

For any pet, I would suggest starting at a rescue centre as you can save an animal. Take a visit to your nearest centre, see what takes your fancy - you never know, you could fall in love with a particular animal and thats that! Whichever pet you decide to go for, just make sure you take into account the huge commitment you are about to take on and check you can do it and are ready.

So, it's your choice - it entirely depends on what you're looking for, but if I were you I think a guinea pig would be the best choice!! Really hope this helps and good luck xxxxxxxxx

Should i get a hamster or guinea pig?

Hm.. there is a lot more to consider than just they're cute, but by all means I think you should get what you want. Guinea pigs are a little more shy and jumpy (in my experience) and they didn't really liked being handled very much. Hamsters are smaller and friendlier. If you get a hamster, I would definitely get a Syrian hamster if I were you; they are bigger, which means easier to handle, and they are friendlier and like to be handled more than other breeds.
Guinea pigs require bigger cages, so you should be sure you have space for it.
Hamster cages are pretty basic, and they fit almost anywhere.

In my opinions, hamsters are better. Definitely, if you get a hamster at all, you should get a Syrian.

If you have any questions about em, feel free to contact me. Have fun with your new pet ^_^

Should I get a guinea pig or a hamster?

i have had better luck with Guinea pigs. they are super cool,rarely bite, and can be trained to do tons of neat tricks.
they can also be litter trained.making their cages easier to clean.
they are not nocturnal,so they would sleep in the night just like you, and don't jump,or chew as much as a hamster.
both require the same type of bedding,,but a Guinea pig needs a wire cage. they don't do good in an aquarium.bad air flow...
and if you play w him/her every day they will love the heck outa ya.how much time isnt as important as what you do with that time. mine learned what the sound of the food bag ment and would "talk" up a storm when he heard it. his fav treat was apple,so he would do all kinds of tricks to get some. we would hide a piece under a little cup,and he would sniff it out. i even made him a little maze!! so cool.
also, a Guinea pig is less likely to run a way when you have him out of his cage,and much easier to find if he did get away from you. they make super big "hamster" balls you can put you r piggy in,to run around the house safely(no stairs of coarse).
prob a good idea to observe both at the pet store,or where ever ya are gonna get one and see witch one just calls to you.( i would not recommend a long haired guniea pig...the smooth coat,or the one with all the callics are great!) you can even give them a bath like a puppy or kitty.!!
best of luck.!

What animal should i get other than cat and dog?

ferrets are a ton of work, because you would have to ferret proof your house, because they can get into everything and they need exersise, and because of the amount of animals you already have i do not think that it would be a good idea to get a ferret along with everything else, because they are expensive and need to be watched often.

Hamsters are okay pets, but they are messy, and the dog may want to get at it

Parrots are good pets, i had a bird and it was very sweet, but very loud and messy, and when we had a dog for part of the time we had the bird it was scared and would not come out of his cage, so i wouldn't go with parrots because of the fact that you have the two dogs.

that leaves you with getting a turtle, i think this is the best idea, because they are hard work, but not so much as the ferrets, they are not messy, and they are not really afraid of dogs and the dogs would not really want to get at it either.


Hope this helps! (: Good luck in finding the right animal for you! (:

Which is a better pet A dog or guinea pig?

that's totally based on your opinion, and the personalities of those you're gazing. My guinea pigs have 3 completely diverse personalities- the chief of the herd is extremely extremely shy, and is s'posed to be submissive, yet is the chief via fact the others have been toddlers! My canines, on the different hand, is an alpha and could tolerate little on her turf. My buddy's canines, on the different hand, might only like to make new acquaintances every day. The animal is easily opinionated. yet once you're going by way of cost... that's a toss up. as quickly as you get previous the cost of the cage, around 40 money for a sturdy C&C cage, you need to purchase additionally a minimum of two guinea pigs, a hay rack, timothy hay, a place to cover, nutrients dish, and water bottle. alongside with pellets, a dish for his or her on a regular basis vegetables, which start to characteristic up over the years. nonetheless, so a techniques as beginning expenses are worried, canines are extra costly. Assuming that's already been given a invoice of wellbeing from the vet, it's going to choose nutrients, toys, collar, leash, mattress, 2 bowls, treats, and a crate (elective yet reccomended). yet of direction, there is suprise vet visits! If a canines receives ill with some thing, it's going to instruct it plenty swifter then a guinea pig. A canines has a fantastically sturdy probability of improving, mutually as a guinea pig has a extensive probability of declining at as quickly as to death. the two have united statesand downs, and as i reported, that's totally opinionated. there is no such ingredient as a appropriate puppy- and which will extra effective in good condition your existence variety? @Whoever reported that loosing a canines is harsher then loosing a pig: incorrect. It relies upon on how the animal died and in case you have been there or no longer. If, say, I knew my canines became going to be positioned down, and that i became there and became conscious of the coming near doom, yeah, it would harm, yet no longer something like countless different 2 death cases i've got had. certainly one of my guinea pigs had a seizure in my palms, so i became protecting him mutually as he perished. yet another of my pigs had in intensity look after 3 days, ailment became caught too previous due, and he or she became ineffective on the fourth day. It became tragic each and every time, and suprises come plenty swifter then the human can assume.
