Rats make great pets, love attention, can learn tricks are pretty inexpensive. Males tend to be more cuddily where females tend to be more active.
Good luck

Something that can be kept in a cage such as a gerbil, hamster or guinea pig. She gets the bonus of a pet while you get the bonus of her having the added responsibility of looking after it, i.e. cleaning out the cage and making sure it is fed.

Well there are pros and cons for both. A dog is more likely to interact with it's owner... can learn tricks and play fetch etc. They enjoy lots of attention. Dogs can also be more work though. They have to be let out of the house to go to the bathroom regularly. They may make messes in the house sometimes. A cat is a loving pet as well. They will sit with you and purr at you when you pet them. They do not require as much attention and if you provide a litter box and clean it regularly they don't usually make any messes in the house. I think it would really depend on how much time the owner would have to devote to the pet. I hope you enjoy what ever pet you decide on.

I no people do normally say hamsters cause they are most common and stuff but I would say no, cause truelly they are the most difficult to deal with I would say a rat even though it sound ugly they are the same thing as a hamster exept sometimes cuter, and rats are the smartest of the mousey breed (you can train them all sorts of tricks even potty train them!!!) I don't have a rat, I have a mouse and he was only a $1.89 and his cage was $20.00 and his wood sheds were 5.00 and his food was 3.00 and his food will last him about 3 months and his wood sheds will last him about 2 months so they are very cheap! and also I would reconmend a mouse because they are so cute!!! and they are like like 5 cm long !! but if you don't like tails then don't get a mouse... and you can get tail less ratswow that was alot of typing

I'm over 13 but the best pet for me is a bird. They can be snugly,fun,learn to talk and they make a great animal if you like to read. If you're more out going then i would suggest a cockatiel as a pet bird they are energetic and lovable. Fun and loud mouths. If you're having a bad day then you're bird will cheer you up.

I'm thirteen too. i couldn't have a cat because of family allergies. so i got a rabbit instead. They are very friendly and lots of fun. And you can always get a dwarf rabbit because they're smaller. You can litter train it and let it have free roam of the house or u can let it live in a cage.

Perhaps a dwarf rabbit,....that can comfortably live in a cage indoors. Check with your County Extension Agent and see about a local 4H group so the child can learn about the rabbit and how to care for it.

I'm fourteen and i have a ball python, but i know a lot of people don't like snakes. if money isn't a problem try a ferret or a chinchilla (you can even take a ferret on a walk), they can range from $100-300, and their cages cost about the same. i really wanted one a few years ago but my dad didn't like the cost. guinea pigs are similar but cost less ($20-30) and don't require such an expensive cage. hamsters and gerbils cost less than $10 and their cages can cost around $10-30. i would suggest a ferret, they are more like puppies and better companions but require lots of care and are expensive. try going to an exotic pet store to buy one, they will have a better selection and will provide you with the info you need. good luck and i hope i helped.
