        Please do not keep a pet so that you can teach your children responsibility, keep a pet only if you are prepared to love it and take care of it for life, the pet’s life. We can teach our children responsibility in various other ways as suggested by jedamum.

              I have 1 hamster and 4 guinea pigs.

              Hamsters are easy to take care as they are clean and require little attention.
              If you buy the good type of bedding which contain baking soda, it can absorb the smell and you can change the bedding about once a month.

              However I find guinea pigs harder to take care.
              You have to change the lining of the cage daily especially if you keep them in the house.
              They are afraid of human beings and I can’t play with them even though they have been with me for 2 years. They are so apprehensive each time I take them out of the cage, so I’d rather observe them from afar.

              I love my dad’s toy poodle. She is so affectionate and responsive to human affection. She was given to my dad by his friend who returned to his homeland.
              I am thinking of getting a toy poodle.
              Does anyone know where I can get it from a reliable source?

                  Can share what is the brand of this bedding which contains baking soda?
                  Thank-you.

                      Hi Belle2011,
                      I like the Fresh and Comfy blue colour bedding and the Heathly Pets Ultra White color bedding.

                        I am a β€˜pet nazi’ and I strongly discourage parents from getting a pet (more specifically little animals) just because the little ones want one.


                        It’s all fun and games but at SPCA there are so many abandoned pets.

                        Remember, a pet is for LIFE.

                        Chinchillas live for 15 years

                        Guinea Pigs live for 6 - 10 years

                        Rabbits live for 12 years

                        Hamsters live for 3 years

                        Are you prepared to keep a pet that long?
