  The care is similar to that of a hamster. This type of animal is quite cheerful and doesn’t like to stay still. It is an easy animal to feed and clean, requiring only a bath once a week. However, it doesn’t interact with people very much.

3. Chinchilla

Therefore, during the day, it will rest and do activities at night instead. This type of animal has a clean nature and a long lifespan, with some living up to 15 years.

4. Japanese turtle

In fact, turtles do not need to eat only morning glory because they can eat both meat and many types of plants. Currently, there are many ready-made foods that they can eat, which only need to be fed once a day.

5. Fennec Foxes Fennec Foxes or Fennec Foxes

  It is considered the smallest fox in the world because it is about 15-20 centimeters tall and weighs only about 0.8-1.5 kilograms, which is smaller than a house dog.

If anyone falls in love, prepare to spend money and wait to adopt it.
