Don't discount dogs so fast. Just because you're out a lot doesn't mean they can't still be happy with you. My dog is alone for about 8 hours a day and loves it, she just lays around like the queen of the house. It all depends on the breed. I just can't see something separated from you by a cage loving you back like a dog does. _________________

Cats are the best if you're looking for something small and furry, and also if your apt. allows them. Since you'll be out they have a litter box to go in. They also enjoy their alone time, but when you come home they get all excited. I think they're the best pets to have, and I'm so glad I'm not allergic to them because I couldn't live without a cat. |

i've had guinea pigs and rabbits, and my sister had hamsters. rabbits were the worst. one of them would chew the other one's fur off all the time. well since you got a hamster, my advice is don't put it in your bedroom or where you can her it at night. they like to run on their wheels all night! _________________ melanie |

I went to the petstore tonight and the rabbits were cute but not interested in me. The guinea pigs were mean to each other! One was kinda cute, but eh. So I got a short-haired hamster... he was huddled in the corner by himself... SO cute. He's sweet too... now if I can just figure out how to attach the dang water bottle to his cage and get the door to close without ruining the whole thing : P Buy another hamster! I always feel bad when people buy one animal that has to be kept in a cage. I feel like they get lonely haha. I would... but my brothers had 2 hamsters in a cage once and they fought and it wasn't pretty. from Hamster Hideout 7. Hamsters are solitary Hamsters are solitary animals and will fight if you house more than one in a cage. You should follow the one-hamster-one-cage rule. Some species, such as the Russian Campbell dwarf hamsters, can live cordially together. However there are many exceptions to the rule and you should always be prepared to buy a cage if you notice fighting. |

Somebody on here had a really cute hedgehog. Prairie dogs used to be thought of as good pets but I think they're illegal now cause they're too disease ridden. Ferrets are good, about the same as a cat except the females die if they aren't fixed and don't mate, something I found out the hard way.  Never trust a book called "Everything About Ferrets!" 
I know it was ultimately my fault but you would think a book titled that would give out that crucial information. Birds are fun and are affectionate too. Kind of messy but oh well. Hey what about a monkey or ape?! You like monkeys don't you? Sure you do. Who doesn't right, right? You can put a little hat on him, give him a cigar, teach him to ride a tricycle, catch feces he throws and stuff. No? Hamsters are cute, they eat their young sometimes though. _________________

i'm not allowed a pet at the moment because my parents are going to move soon, and i should probably be starting to look for somewhere to live... so my two pets that i have are my pepper plants, things just die on me so have been left to plants for the moment. _________________ flickr.com/notathome smile
