Pets are great at keeping you company. If you are not ready to maintain a dog or cat there are plenty of tiny and adorable little animals out there that you can bring home. However, when you bring home small pets, you must choose carefully as all of them have different characteristics.

We have cuddly animals have different behavioral characteristics and requirements in terms of space and food.

Here is a list of Small Pets That Could Be Right for Your Kids.

Rabbits

Rabbits are extremely cute, cuddly and intelligent pets with a playful nature. However, they are not recommended for small children as the rabbit does not like to be handled roughly and gets startled easily by the quick movements of a little kid. They are great but small pets for older kids though as the rabbit is a rather peaceful and calm animal with a very soft coat of fur.

Parrots

Parrots are the most popular domestic bird and for good reason. They are playful and interactive. They come in a range of sizes and colors from plain green to species that look like a modern art painting. The parrot lives for very long periods, some species may live as long as 80 years or more. They are very sociable and have a tendency to mimic the sounds they hear.
