choosing a pet

[tikeyas_mom]

have you done research on all these animals??

hamsters and gerbils need little rood. Gerbils do better in a tank , hamsters can be placedd in a tank or wire cage.. they both have an average lifespan of about 2-4 years depending.. gerbils are social, syrain hamsters arnt, drawf hamsters are..

chinchillas arnt good for a first time pet, they require alot of time, space, and care. you have to know what you are getting into before getting a chinchilla. Hamsters and gerbils are better first time pets in my expierence and opinion..

Coatimundi;s are not ment to be a pet. i would rather see them in the wild personally... thanks very much. inless you own a zoo or an animal santuary(sp?). although chinchillas are very rare to find 9in the wild they are from the andes mountians and are almost all dead. ppl kill them for their fur... poor things.

Never get a coatimundi, they get into everything and bite! They are not meant to be pets, they should remain IN the wild!

A Coatimundi is related to the raccoon and live in south america. They are a wild animal. If you want cuddly get a ferret they need quite a bit a atention but they love to cuddle, give kisses and play with you. There are tons out there who need good homes too. I had a hampster they never stop moving. Freddy my ferret sits with me and loves to go for walks. They are not as needy as dogs, but not as self reliant as cats. They are the perfect combination. They will play by themselves but prefer to play with you. Do some research before you buy one though, but make sure it is acurate, there are lots of myths and lies out there about them. If you have questions about owning a ferret you can ask me <:3)~
