Furry and good-looking
Not only cats and dogs
How many people keep pets, but what they covet is the feeling on their heads when they are petted?
In addition to cats and dogs, there are also these furry little animals that you can try.
sugar glider. The recently popular flying squirrel has an appearance between a squirrel and a bat. Its most attractive feature is that it can fly from high places to the owner's hands. The reason why countless people fall into the trap is because they cannot resist the healing feeling when it opens its limbs and pounces on you.

Sugar gliders are different from the rodent pets we generally recognize. They are more familiar and recognize people than hamsters. Their lifespan is about 15 years, but their personalities Also more sensitive.
@jujudy expressed some thoughts after raising sugar gliders for more than a year. He mentioned in his notes that sugar gliders require full-time companionship to stick to people, are very timid, and have a fox-like odor, which is why many people abandon them. Therefore, before deciding to keep these niche pets, you must do your homework to ensure that you can accept everything about it.

Of course, in addition to soft ducks and chicks, even hedgehogs , which everyone thinks are hard, can actually be masturbated.
@quanquanquan shared his experience of raising African mini hedgehog . This is a hedgehog that can be pinched by the back and "picked up and plated". Without exploding thorns, its back does not hurt people. . Although they don't recognize people like dogs, hedgehogs will stick their heads out of the cage and climb onto their hands after they become familiar with their owners.

A little guy that some people love and some are afraid of

The hexagonal dinosaur fish is a niche water pet that is ugly and difficult to keep. This small fish is pink in color and is named after the six horns on its head. It looks particularly like an alien creature.

For novices in fish farming, the Hexagonal Dinosaur is not a friendly choice. Water changing, filtering, and oxygenation equipment must be complete, but for aquarists who are obsessed with fish farming, Speaking of which, the Hexagonal Dinosaur is definitely an advanced choice.
There are also niche water pets that have become popular in the past two years, including grandpa tree frog . This is a name that sounds a bit strange but cute. Grandpa's tree frog is a species from Indonesia . It is small and can be placed on your hand as a "disc frog". It sounds a bit like the "coiled dormouse", but the grandpa tree frog is more slippery when coiled.

@下世 surfing A mushroom chose a sea anemone as his pet. It has transparent tentacles and a shape similar to a chrysanthemum. It was commented by the little sweet potatoes, "like a cup of Chrysanthemum tea". For pet owners, sea anemone can be said to be a pet with zero interactivity. The greatest joy of keeping it may be admiring its swaying posture in the water.

The Swamp Side Turtle is a very small turtle called the "Smiling Turtle". It is named the Smiling Turtle because its expression always looks like it is smiling.
