So you've decided you want to get a small pet, but aren't sure which one is right for you. This fun quiz aims to give you an idea which would suit you best. Note: I'm not a vet or other professional, and your quiz result might not be your best choice in the end. Consider this quiz a guide of what to consider and not a directive. In the end, the pet you adopt is up to you. Be sure you're ready for the responsibility and can take good care of the pet you get, including spay/neuter and shots, if applicable.

    Which small animal is first to catch your eye at the pet store or shelter/rescue? (Adopt, don't shop, if possible!)

    Which budget for your pet is closest to what you can afford? *Keep in mind that, aside from accessories and feeding, there will likely be vet bills associated with pet ownership. Spay/neuter (where applicable) and vaccinations are essential, and it's also a good idea to carry health insurance on your pet if it's available to you in case it gets hurt or sick.
  • 3
    How long of a commitment can you make to a pet? THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. You should under NO circumstances abandon an animal just because you've gotten tired of it or cannot afford to keep it. Choose very wisely, because its life is on the line. How would you like it if your parents or guardian abandoned you?

  • 4
    How many pets would you want to keep in the same cage?

    *Keep in mind the health and happiness of your pet(s) while making this decision. Would you want three or four other people in your room with you? Some types do well in groups and others should be paired, ideally with a same sex buddy.
  • 5
    How much out of cage playtime do you plan on giving your pet?
  • 6
    What do you plan on doing most often with your pet during out of cage playtime?

  • 7
    How do you feel about cleanup duty? Be very honest, because getting rid of a pet because you hate cleaning up after it is NOT an option.
  • 8
    What kind of housing would you like for your pet?
  • 9
    Which of the following noises would bother you the least during the day and/or night?
  • 10
    What would you like most about your pet?

I got Guinea pig which doesn't come as a surprise because I actually owned one for about two years. I rescued her from a humane society when she was 3 or 4. I named her Nala, and she was a solitary little animal, and it seemed that she had lived alone her whole life. She didn't necessarily enjoy being around other pigs (guinea pigs), but I would take her in her travel cage (it was a VERY small cage that the humane society had given me when I adopted her, because we did not already have one) and we brought her over to my friend's house, because every once in a while when we went over, she would come too, to socialize with my friend's two pigs. Well, we left that night sand went somewhere and when we came back home we discovered that their dog, Trixie, had broken into my friend's room and unalived my guinea pig. Luckily we are still friends to this day, and I actually have a different pet now, that we would not have been able to get if I still owned my guinea pig.

I still love Nala, and may she rest in peace. It has since been one year after the tragedy, but everything is okay now.

I got chinchilla! If I get a chinchilla, it will NEVER get overheated, considering my apartment is kept at 65 degrees (I love the cold).

I should get a rat? I heard rats are cute. I will give him\her a fun tiny pet mansion with lots of things to do. My boyfriend probably won't mind us getting a rat. The beta fish are not amusing him as much as he thought they would >:]

I got recommended guinea pigs! Sweet! :) I can't wait to buy them!! I'd love to give them the best life possible. :) Can I get some help on knowing what to feed them in such?

I absolutely dont recommend using exercise wheels for hamsters, as they can be both dangerous and stressfull. Much rather buy a big cage (or a playpen). Theyre little feet can get stuck and broken and they are pretty much forced to do only one thing, to run.
Remember you are their only source of protection and love, so please give them a lot of love.โค๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿน
