Since my brother, sister and me got to choose whichever pet we want, I figured it’s best to ask first, we can choose 3. We had a cat few years ago and figured that they are not best for house, we have a nice doggo in village but it works since he’s always in yard and has plenty of space to run around, it’s different from living in outskirts of a city, but even here we have huge forest so it wouldn’t be a problem walking him, besides, he’s nice and the cat was a total dick for some reason.
Now, we all decided that we will be having 3 of these, but we can’t decide which are the best.
Also, one more thing, since our cousins in village have ostriches, yes, they have 2 huge grown ass ostriches in their yard, we want to take something similar for our own and would this nice bird be a good choice?
capybaras are not pets, they are comrades in class struggle
I am still not telling you where I hid Comrade Stallins Giant Spoon though
Disclaimer for some of these: Wild animals shouldn’t really be pets. In some cases they end up that way because they can’t be reintroduced to the wild, but should only be taken care of by somebody experienced. That goes for most of these animals frankly, none of them are something I would say somebody should buy on a whim.
As an example of that fennec fox are absolutely adorable, but wild animals. They are very social, so either you would need to be home all the time or get two. They’re also nocturnal and SUPER active. Not easy to feed too, you would need a steady supply of insects and eggs, among other things.
Bats are very social, and would probably require you to have multiple bats They can do okay in captivity, but aren’t something I would just recommend the average person get.
Crows are frankly too smart for it, they aren’t going to be happy in captivity. From what I understand, they develop a lot of mental issues in captivity unless they are very specially cared for.
Axolotl are cute. They can be raised domestically and work okay as pets. They are also endangered and probably should not be kept as a pet by an inexperienced owner.
Capybara can be domesticated fairly well and get along with people, but need a lot of space.
Reptiles are fairly easy to take care of if you do some research and know what you are doing, I used to rescue and keep snakes. Still, you would want to make sure you are getting their habitat/temperature control right. I would probably go with any of the lizards/amphibeans.
These are all wild animals, leave them in the wild. No one should own these animals except research institutions, rehabilitation centers, and reputable zoos.
Also this better be satire. That last picture is not an ostrich, that is a Cassowary and that thing will literally just straight up murder you. It can gut a human so fast you’d be dead before you even realized what is going on. They are aggressive, dangerous, and extremely unpredictable wild animals.
The only animal on this list that would be a good pet is the Axolotl, but they are very misunderstood and if you don’t do the research and spend A LOT of money, it will suffer and have a horrible miserable life.
Bats aren’t great because they’re social creatures. If you let your bat interact with wild bats, it can give you bad diseases.
Fennecs don’t stink like other foxes, but they’re still nocturnal. I can’t imagine what their 2 AM zoomies are like.
I would not fuck with a Cassowary.
None. Let’s not contribute to animal trafficking please.
