When anyone says the word “Rodent” there will be many negative reactions. Yet, pet rodents are really popular with children.
The thing with pet rodents is that when they are well kept they are nothing like their feral cousins. They are clean and extremely easy to care for. Children love playing and petting their favourite mouse, guinea pig or rabbit.

The most popular and favourite pet rodents include
- Rabbits
- Mice
- Rats
- Guinea Pegs
- Hamsters
- Gerbils
- Chinchillas
Pets such as Rabbits, mice and rats are great for children to learn how to care for a pet and that each type of pet needs to be card for in a different way. Not all pets are the same. Each one will react differently to humans. Some are very shy and do not like to interact with humans, whereas others will love nothing more than to be cuddled and petted.

Finding the right pet for your child will make your child want to help care for their and love their pet.
