Here are some examples of animals that are suitable as pets in some cases.

To keep them indoors, you need plenty of room to explore and shelter.

Sugar gliders (sugar gliders)

They are quite social animals that fly through the air.

Gliders eat fruits, vegetables, protein sources, and special glider food.

Their special requirements include a high need for social interaction, a spacious cage and proper nutrition.

Chinchillas

People find chinchillas cute because of their soft fur and love of dust baths.

These animals eat hay, pellets, fresh water and the occasional treat.

You should provide them with a cool environment and a large cage for jumping and climbing.

Be a responsible pet owner.

Before considering any small wild animal as a pet, research its natural habitat, behavior patterns, and dietary needs.

Also, always be aware of any legal restrictions regarding keeping such animals as pets in your area.

Providing responsible and ethical care must be a top priority, ensuring that living conditions and care methods are consistent with the animal's welfare.

Remember that wild animals have special needs that may be difficult to meet in a domestic environment, so careful consideration and preparation are necessary.
