The best low maintenance pets
If you’ve always wanted a pet but never really bothered because of how high maintenance it is, fret not.
Below is a list of five of the lowest maintenance pets to have.
-
Hamster
These cute little furry animals are super easy to take care of once they’re set up.
All you need is to make sure they have a water bottle, food bowl and their wheel.
-
Guinea Pig
The adorable guinea pigs are low maintenance and look after themselves. A dream, right?!
They require a bath here and there and the usual cage, bedding, food and water.
-
Turtle
The Painted Turtle is possibly one of the best pets to have because it doesn’t even need to be fed everyday.
Feed it a couple of times a week, make sure it's comfortable in the new aquatic home where the temperature and cleanliness are looked after.
-
Snake
You’re probably thinking what the hell? But obviously get a reptile that isn’t venomous.
They are super easy to care for as long as you keep them in a properly sized tank, maintain the tank at a comfortable temperature and feed them their preferred meals.
-
Sea Monkey (aka Brine Shrimp)
These tiny creatures were only created in the last century and are sold in hatching kits.
All you need to do is set up their water tank, feed them every five days and keep their tank well-oxygenated.
