                            Hamsters are often referred to as “starter pets”. They are easy to keep as they require little space and are low-maintenance

                            Rabbits are a popular choice for many families. They are highly intelligent, inquisitive animals. They are low-maintenance and typically live for 8 to 12 years

                            Guinea pigs are social animals that are easy to keep as pets. They keep themselves clean and don't typically need regular baths

                            Goats are very friendly and easy pets to keep. However, they can be noisy and destructive to fences, housing and gardens

                            Birds can be easy to care for as pets. However, caging them is not a good idea since they are meant to fly. You can take care of a rescued one, for as long as they need your help

                            Turtles can live up to 25 to 50 years or even more. They make for simple pets as they need little space and are relatively low-maintenance

                            Just like turtles, tortoises are also simple to care for as pets due to their low upkeep needs and minimal space requirements

                            Snakes are mysterious and exotic. Ball pythons are a popular choice for snake enthusiasts
