Pictures > Small Animals

Small animals as pets extend beyond cats, dogs, fish and birds. Rodents or other small mammals such as ferrets, mice, rats, chinchillas, gerbils, hamsters, or rabbits commonly make excellent pets. Other unusual small animals such as potbelly pigs, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, skunks, sugar gliders, raccoons, monkeys, and even tarantulas can be considered small pets. Their size and ease of management make them desirable, but health considerations, as well as legal concerns need exploration before purchase.
