My daughter has a bearded dragon lizard which actually has a neat personality and has a sweet disposition. So I was wondering what other not so typical animals make/made a good pet. ☺
What is a "not so typical" animal that makes a good pet?
Many years ago we had a pet squirrel. He came in the window one day and started eating cat food right out of the bowl. He was injured and we took him to the vet to get checked out. His tail was missing and he had to have one leg amputated. My wife brought him home and nursed him back to health and he stayed with us for many years. I have pictures of him lying in front of the fireplace with the dogs and cats, one big happy pet family.
I have been told a "hedgehog" makes a good pet, I also have been told many folks are buying birds which is interesting since the purchase of birds has been on the decline over the past few years, at leat in our area of the country.
