• 7 Pets That Are Easy to Take Care Off

     

    Pets can bring joy to our lives, but not everyone has the time or energy to take care of a high-maintenance animal. Luckily, there are plenty of low-maintenance pets that can make great companions for anyone, whether you're a college student or a busy professional. Here are some ideas:

    Fish - Betta fish are a good option as they only need a small bowl and some special sand. Just be careful to only have one fish per bowl, as they are aggressive and may fight.

    Gerbils - These little rodents are easy to care for and enjoy having a friend. Make sure to get two that have been together since birth, and provide them with food, water, a cardboard box to chew on, and toys.

    Guinea Pigs - These fuzzy creatures are like bigger hamsters and make great pets for both adults and children. They need a large cage and a companion or two.

    Birds - Small birds are great for kids and only need food, water, and a little playtime. They can also be let out of their cage to fly around the house.

    Tortoises - These pets can live a long time and don't need much besides a cool place to hibernate and some veggies to eat.

    Snakes - Non-venomous snakes can be fascinating pets for those who want something more unique. They don't require much attention and can grow up to 5 feet long.

    Lizards - Although not cuddly, lizards are low-maintenance and interesting pets. Keep in mind that the equipment needed to care for them can be expensive, even if the lizard itself seems inexpensive.
