I want a pet
I would really like to get a pet but I don't know what. We had a cat before and in the end we had to re-home her because we had just had a new baby but now our son is older I want to get another pet but not another cat. I don't think it would be fair to have a dog in a small flat so thats out of the question. I really want a goldfish or something but my husband said that he would be the one to clean it and everything but I don't know what else to get. Could anyone give me any ideas I am really fussy though I don't want a rabbit or a hamster or gerbil or anything like that. But I just want a pet

I could do a deal on as many mice as you'd like. Sure I can't tempt you?

Please yourself
Still, I would have had a job wrestling them from the cats jaws ... Do you fancy a cuddly pet or something exotic? |

So you don't want a cat? Or a dog? Or a fish as you have to change the tank? So I guess that rules out anything in a cage that needs regular changing? (IE hamsters, gerbils, budgies) and I imagine in a flat you do not have a garden so can't have bunnies or Gunea Pigs?
You're not making it easy LOL

By way of a suggestion: Zebra Finches are quite small and easy to keep, although any caged bird obviously needs regular cleaning. |

What about a bird? They're sort of cuddly ...

All pets need cleaning and other care. You do need to work this bit out.

A Tamagotchi in a furry pouch would probably tick all the boxes.

![]() ![]() They are beautiful animals and, if you get the right kind, very docile and extremely low maintenance. While you may not sit with them in your lap like a cat (although you can if you want), they do have the advantage over a fish that you can actually handle them. (And they are NOT slimy! ..... they're smooth and cool to the touch) |

![]() ![]() The other alternative to to get a rabbit or guinea pig- both are pretty docile for kids but need a fair bit of room for exercise etc.
