When you want to have some kind of animal at home, but at the same time you have to devote a lot of time to work or other activities, then the usual dogs and cats will no longer be suitable.
In this case, the idea of an aquarium may arise. But if the fish do not need to be walked, this does not mean that the aquarium does not need to be cleaned.
Here are some of the most unusual examples of pets for those who don't always have enough time for themselves.
Ferret
It is considered a predator, but quickly gets used to humans, and will sleep during the day, in the absence of the owner. By the way, a ferret can sleep up to 20 hours a day, while remaining sociable, affectionate and tame.
Ferrets are clean animals, so you will have to clean the cage about 1-2 times a week, and in the evening the animal should be allowed to walk around the apartment.
Rabbit
Its maintenance is cheaper for owners than the maintenance of a dog or a cat. It is a very calm creature that lives up to 12 years with proper care. It will need a spacious cage, hay and toys that it can chew.
Fresh vegetables are needed for food, as well as 2-3 hours of walks around the apartment per day. You can let it out of the cage, watching that the pet does not start gnawing wires or other necessary things.
Hedgehog
The final option is a hedgehog as an excellent option for an allergy sufferer. It is better to choose decorative breeds. Such are African pygmy hedgehogs. If you bring a hedgehog from the forest into your home, the animal will most likely die.
Hedgehogs tolerate loneliness very well, but are happy when their owner comes. They need to be fed twice a day, cleaned in the cage once a week and bathed once a month.
