Deciding between the best first pets for children can be tricky. Whether you’ve grown up with animals or you’re embarking on this journey for the very first time, the pressure to get it right can feel colossal.
What animals are easy to look after? What’s their lifespan? And do they like being held? These are all very valid questions to keep in mind before you welcome your little one’s first pet into the home. You’ll also want to consider what needs your chosen pet has. For example, if you decide on a rabbit, does your bunny need to be kept inside or outside? And if so, what are the best indoor rabbit hutches? Or have they got their heart set on a hamster? And if so, how much will one of the best hamster cages set you back by?
