Do you want to be another boring pet owner? Or are you looking for a few heads on your next morning walk with your newest animal companion? Well, you can brave the mission and choose a Bengal Tiger like Mike Tyson. But being a full-grown wildcat is quite a chore and not exactly what we had in mind for today’s list. We’re thinking of something a bit cuter and weirder: Like the mischievous Chinchilla or the soft Fennec Fox. Maybe even a silly Crested Gecko or a rodent the size of a dog, such as the Australian Capybarra. With a little research and extra work, these exotic and adorable animals can really become your next pet. So, if you’re looking to turn around and melt a few hearts with your newest, unusual animal friend, stay tuned as we count down our 10 Top Picks for Unusual Pets. Strange Cutest. Oh and if you think crabs can’t be sweet, then stay tuned for #1, because this unique and exotic creature is sure to make your aquarium so much cuter. Ok, let’s get started
I had a few hermit crabs when I was a kid and I took good care of them so they live a long time. That’s what makes me sad when I see a bunch of broken claws, eye stalks and legs. We buried it and were very sad but the next day we looked in the barn and all the crabs were still there. The crab had actually molted and just took this opportunity to shed its claws, legs, and eye stalks.
Growing up with a bunch of really great pets is not something I can or want to do now. I love them all (for the most part). Minus the screams from the love birds. I also volunteer at my favorite Pet Store and that’s how I discovered I’m not a bird person. Especially the large parrots screaming shrill. I don’t regret working there, because since that time I have owned exactly 0 birds. My only exceptions are sparrows and canaries, for they make such lovely melodious calls. Our experiences shape us, just because you can own something truly amazing, that same thing can become your nightmare. As the years go by, I still think people owning pets is the worst idea. Animals develop, behavioral problems due to our inability to take care of them properly, due to our species differences. With that said, pets will always be an issue, and in 2022, there’s so much information online that people have no excuse not to be well-informed. I know life is short, and we only have one life. But do not destroy other animals, in this way, to make your child better.
