My wife and I currently have two dogs (Blue Heelers) and two cats. We also had a tarantula, but she recently died.
We live in a relatively small townhouse.
We are looking to get another pet. Someone who can stay in an enclosure, so the cats don’t bother them, or possibly get along with cats.
For context, we considered:
- Another tarantula - easy choice, since we already have experience with one
- Guinea pig - needs a fair amount of space to run around, which means we would have to isolate it from cats and dogs
- Bearded dragon - likely another good option
- Rat - wife seems to be against it, so this may take some convincing. Can a pet rat live alongside with cats, or is it a recipe for disaster?
- Snake - nope!
- Bird - neither of us have any experience, so this would take some learning
- Chameleon - likely requires a lot of experience and care
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thank you!
