Capybara
Related to the guinea pig this native South American is the largest rodent in the world.
Fully grown the
capybara is on average 4 feet long and usually weighs more than 100 pounds.
It39s rare to find these
obscure animals as pets but there39s one capybara named Caplin Rous who39s gained a loyal Internet
following.
However capybaras are never fully domesticated so you must handle one often while it39s young to
establish a human-rodent relationship.
Capybaras need lots of outdoor space and places to swim since
they are semi-aquatic creatures.
They eat a steady diet of grass and require fresh drinking water at all
times.
Capybaras need a lot of attention plenty of room to roam and some type of swimming pool.
They can
be territorial and could bite with their large teeth.
We dont recommend capybaras for families with
young children because the rodents aren39t nearly as tolerant as some other domestic pets like dogs.
Like most of the animals on our list your country may have exotic pet legislation that would keep you
from owning a capybara so always check the laws before bringing one home.

Stick Insects
The stick insect has been entertaining and educating school-age children in classrooms for years
because of its unique appearance and simple care needs.
Now more and more people are keeping stick
insects as pets at home.
These intriguing insects are usually around 3 to 4 inches long and can live for
several years in the right conditions.
Stick insects need tall enclosures at least double the height of the insect because they like to hang.
They are omnivores and thrive on a diet of bramble ivy or even lettuce.
These insects don39t like being
alone and need other stick insects for companionship.
Their enclosures should be kept at room
temperature and cleaned out weekly.
Stick insects molt many times before they reach maturity and
need enough room to literally climb out of their skin.
Stick insects are very low-maintenance and generally make good first pets for children as long as adults
are in charge of cleaning and handling duties.
Special care should be taken when handling the insects as
their limbs can break easily.
The species39 unique appearance and interesting molting process make them
a living science project for anyone39s home.

Mini Donkeys
Shrek and Fiona might have accepted a donkey into their family in the popular animated movie quotShrekquot
but wasn39t that just a fairy tale? Not necessarily.
The American Pet Products Association reports that more than 3 million people in the United States own
equine animals including miniature donkeys.
According to the National Miniature Donkey Association
these animals make good pets because they are affectionate and good with children.
Don39t let the name fool you: Mini donkeys aren39t tiny.
They are about 3 feet tall and weigh between 200
and 350 pounds at maturity.
Mini donkeys have needs similar to those of full-size donkeys: plenty of
hay grain fresh water and access to a fenced pasture with dry shelter.
They also require regular vaccines and should have their hooves trimmed every two to three months.
NMDA explains they need the companionship of other mini donkeys as they are not solitary animals so
taking on one means taking on at least a pair.
Do you have plenty of land for at least two mini donkeys to roam? Are you financially prepared to keep
up with the large amount of hay your pets will require? Do your city39s laws allow for pet donkeys?
These are all questions you39ll need to find the answers to before you make such a big investment.

Hedgehogquot in 1991
