Wondering what pet to get
Hi,
I'm wondering what pet would be a good, low-maintainace pet for my 8yr old daughter.
I'm after an easy to keep pet due to only having her at weekends and it would be mainly her responsibility.
I was thinking about a goldfish, but I am open to suggestions.

Cheers
Dave

Re: Wondering what pet to get
I had stick insects as a kid and they managed to escape - found a couple a few months later living in a plant in the bathroom.
They were pretty low maintenance though and a good talking point!
Are land crabs like sea monkeys? they were also pretty good easy maintenance but will give her responsibility to feed them and watch them grow!

Hi Dave, welcome to you

What about a couple of mice ? My daughter has kept them since she was 8, she's 10 now and still cares for them everyday
