When it comes to pets, the first things that come to mind are usually cats and dogs, and sometimes fish.
In fact, the list is much wider. Some people are into snakes and insects. We will tell you what animals besides cats and dogs can be kept in apartments.
Rabbits
There are about 50 breeds of these animals, but not all are suitable for apartment living. They also quickly become attached to the owner, decorative breeds are quiet, are trained to use a litter box and almost do not create problems. The disadvantage is that they like to gnaw and make holes.
Ferrets
They also get used to people and love communication. Pros: when the owner is not at home, they sleep. They become active in the evening. Cons: they really like to hide, and anywhere, even in the oven.
Rats
Usually they cause hostility, but they are very smart. For a small apartment, they are just an ideal option. Their needs are minimal, they eat everything, they get used to hands and do not get bored for a long time without their owner.
Hamsters
The same ideal pet as a rat. They are quiet and clean. They do not cause allergies, they get used to hands. The main thing is to change the filler.
Guinea pigs
They are not much different from hamsters, but they like to walk around the house and chew on something while doing so.
Reptiles
There is also a wide choice here. The best option for those who like silence. You can pay attention to lizards, leopard gecko, bearded dragon or chameleon.
Hedgehogs
It is worth remembering that these are nocturnal animals. However, they are not as noisy as it may seem, and they do not cause allergies.
Frogs
There are also a lot of interesting options here: African clawed frogs, eastern fire-bellied toads, American green tree frogs, and also Pacman frogs.
Chinchillas
Despite their beautiful fur, they are still rodents. They have a playful character, are clean, do not smell, and are nocturnal.
