I really would like a pet that dos'nt cost too much is reasonably clean and is cute??? Any Ideas... I live in a big flat so no garden.

p.s not goldfish or spiders...Thanks.
I would really appreciate your thoughts and input..

I was going to say goldfish.

Oh well.

Budgies are ok.

A Tamagotchi? Any living pet is potentially messy and expensive if it gets ill.

I agree with this, but if you are really set on getting something, I would suggest a hamster, but they do need regular cleaning.

Whats a tamagotchi??

Can you have an indoor tortoise?

probably not, unless you have an indoor garden

how about a canary? I used to babysit my neighbours' one and it was cute and quite good company and easy to look after

I quite like birds as long as they don't tweet all the time especially in the morning...

A pet rat, I used to have one they make fantastic pets they are really easy to handle and they dont bite.

Oh no I don't like their tails

Thanks anyway...

slightly off-topic, apologies..
My Winnie brought in a dead mouse the other day (It was absolutely tiny! Probably only a day old), but I wouldn't go near it because I don't like their tails. I'm not convinced she killed it, as much as I love her, she really is a god-awful predator

Anyway, back on topic...a goldfish is the easiest to look after.

How about Guinea Pigs? We have 2. They are very little trouble. Clean the hutch about once a week, top up their food and water every couple of days as needed.

Costs a bit initially to get the hutch and all the equipment, after that though they are quite cheap.

Are they friendly I feel like I want a friendly pet. One that actually knows your alive....

Ive had goldfish they are too dull for me...

Thanks.

A cat. They really are the ultimate low-maintenance pet, and they give back a lot more pleasure than goldfish. Provided you have access to a garden, you can install a magnetic cat flap, so your cat can come and go freely, and you never have to interact with his poo. Feed him dry food and water (water's better for him, and good quality dry food is perfectly healthy, too). Neither of these smell, attract flies or go off.
If you forget to feed your pet, he will make a racket outside the food cupboard until you remember. You can even go away for a couple of days without putting him in a cattery provided the cat door's working and you put down plenty of dry food and water.
Like all pets, they get expensive when they get sick or injured, so pet insurance is a good idea.
If that seems like too much trouble, a tamagotchi is definitely the best choice.

Oops - sorry. I see you have no garden. Why not just move?

goldfish are one of the biggest pains in the butt to keep!

especially if you have them in a small "starter" tank!

hamsters are friendly if you treat them right, and cost next to nothing to keep

guineas are also quite easy, but do cost a but more as they require fresh fruit and vegetables

I guess my first question is, why do you want a pet? What do you want to gain out of it?

you might also want to think about a snake

things like corn snakes and king snakes are very easy to keep, they do need a heat mat or bulb
but the cost of running a heat mat is rather low

they cost about £1 a week to feed (one rat or mouse) and you only need to clean their enclosure completely about once a month, providing they're not messy
obviously you;ll need to spot clean and remove poo when they do it, but other than that, it'd be about £3.50 once a month for a new bag of substrate

I like fluffy things..

When younger I used to have floppy eared rabbits a dog a cat. I just like cute things that move but i'm beginning to think that really I would probably need a garden to get my ideal pet. ie a puppy or more rabbits.

Oh no I could'nt handle a snake.... There is no way I could watch a snake eat a mouse for instance....

Get one of these.

The complete opposite of my requirement...Thanks anyway.

I used to have a pet brick. No mess, no feeding and it always stayed where I left it.
