I want a pet, any ideas?!?

I live in England and really want another pet. Preferably small to hold in my hand. A friend suggested a crab, but thats just weird. I'd love a snake or a lizard. Or some kind of rodent. eg: rat or chinchilla or something.

What pet would you suggest and know anywhere near Derby , England that i can get him or her, with all the pet stuff.

I'd really like a rabbit but theyre so common, i want an unusual pet.

Any ideas?



thanks.xx

Answers:
Best of the pets you mention is a rat, they have great little personalities, each one a little different
a pet rock
a worm
If I were you I would get a pet midget. Not many people have them,and they are easily house broken, but the drawbacks are they have little sausage fingers,and smell like cabbage
Get an iguana, they are so cool. Or how about a tarantula?
snake
ever heard of a gecko ? they r so cool they can climb walls ! then again though not easiest to look after. get a poisinous frog and lick it lol no only joking

hmmm tuff question ive got fish but if i was gonna get another pet id say gecko ! they from the lizard family by the way quite small u could hold it in yr hand..
Big fat rats are so cute. You might want to get two so they can keep each other company. Chinchillas are nice but very expensive. I know they are about $100 in the US. Reptiles can be annoying with the heat lamps and special food items. I say get a rat!
a chameleon would make a good pet....
wht about Hermit crabs? you can keep them in an aquarium filled with sand and shells, they will keep on changing shells.you can make them learn tricks like pulling a cart or make them race.etc.

Hermit Crab is pretty cool.i had 6 hermit crabs when i was in University.they were sooo cool.
Hi there well in derby you have pet world at the meteor centre that sell pets like rabbits,guinee pigs hamsters,etc also there is cousins in littleover on blagreaves lane that do the same thing but they also sell snakes spiders turtles,harder pets to get hold of. I had a lizard growing up and it looked nice i just didnt like what you had to feed it. I think you should have a look round and speek to the staff to see what would be best,that way they will tell you which animals mite not suit you.
i have been told rats make excellent pets, my aunts used to follow her around the house, sit on her shoulder etc. I suppose it depends on what other pets you have? Snakes are cool, but you need to research alot about them, as they can grow so big the out grow the accommodation. Good luck
Hi a pet i can highly recommend is a Parrot i have a Senegal Parrot which i absolutely adore. he calls out Birdie, hello, he plays Pee Po all kinds of lovely things as well as the usual whistles. They can get a bit messy but no worse then a rabbit or the like. But if you can afford it go for an African grey, a great Parrot for mimicking and very tame. hope this helps all the best :)
a snake is good I had one once it got out and a neighbour three doors along found it in their bedroom and my neighbour next to me
had one and that got out and some one found it in there bath two doors away from them.
How about a bird? A different bird. i dont know if you could get a lorrikeet or a cockatiel but birds make wanderful pets and you can teach them to talk as well. I have a lorikeet and he is 2 years old and he is great. They dont take much looking after - you would need to protect yours from the cold but a bird is a great pet. They hop about and are very bright.
Well it sounds like you need a mouse or a parrot. Mice are cleaner than cats and you only need to clean out one corner they go tothe toilet in one spot.Parrots can be trained to sit on your shoulder and can also be trained to talk to you.
I think that a rat would be a really good pet. They are really smart and get an attachment to their owners. You could also teach it tricks and how to use a litter box. Plus thier cute ^.^
I would say u could ever get a.

*Hamster

*Guinea pig

*Rat
A pet rat. I have 4 and they are so freaken cool! Maybe get two so they dont get bored, as rats are social creatures. They are easy to train (mine are litter trained) cheap to feed, and just really cute! Boy rats tend to smell a bit more, and are a lot lazier than the girls, but generally both are easy to look after and handle.

HAVE FUN! Good luck!
A ferret, there brilliant, i have two and there are so funny and loving, they love to play and you can handle them and teach them things and there very intelligent one of the best decisions i made.
how about a hamster or a guinne pig?
i ♥ guinee pigss!!lol
A russian hammster or a lizard..Or maybe a llittle cockroach :p
try a wood louse they are cute ,i have a garden shed full
Unusual pets, like exotics pets are no to good for people.couse they get ill when people don´t know how to handle in.
Exotics animals need to be free, they are not prepared to live in houses.they are prepared to live in their houses.
You must to spend lot of money to stay them alive, they need vitamins, calcium, uva, etc..
Try finding , ( if you wanna an exotic one ), a guinea pig..
They are fantastic and very lovely animals..
All you need is giving vegetables, some fruits, and much love.
That´s all I can say !
Cheers and good luck !

Unless you have no sense of smell, avoid mice. We have two and they smell up their cage very fast if you know what i mean. Have you thought about a spider? they are hand sized and different!
