There are so many positive things come from having pets. Beside that, there are some important things that we have to consider. Here are 10 things that will help you make a more realistic decision.


-> Pet's type. What kind of pet do your children like? Small, big, cute, brave or what?

-> The children age. Two years old or younger children may not look after pets well. In many case, it isn't wise to buy a hamster for 2 years old children who are still adapting with their surroundings and may not know how to take care it.

-> Cost. Not only for the purchasing, but also for the treatment. Some pets are very cheap to be bought like hamster, guinea pig, gerbil, bird, fancy rat, fancy mouse, fish, rabbit or ferret. But beside its price, you have to consider about its stable, feed, bed, vet cost and holiday treatment.

-> Time. How long do your family have to spend for the pets. For small pet, you have to take it out of stable and play with it for about 2 hours.

-> Security. Is your family secure from the pets, or the opposite?

-> Room. How wide the room you need for the pets? Even small pets like guinea pig, fancy rat and ferret need a big stable to be happy. They also need sport room outside stable.

-> Effect for the surroundings. What are the impacts for family, friends, neneighbors and other animals in your house?

-> Holiday. Who will take care the pets when your family is on holiday?

-> Death. Can your family accept when the pets (moreover your lovely cats) die?

-> Pets's habbit. Some like to sleep all day and hamster can be very crowded at night.
