6 Low-Maintenance Pets That Are Easy to Take Care of

Filed Under: Pets Tagged With: Pets, Pets that are easy to take care of

Owning a pet comes with many advantages. They are great for our health, allow us to learn patience, and can provide companionship. However, understandably, not everyone has time to care for something high maintenance. 

Below, we are going to take a look at six pets that are easy to take care of. They are perfect for both families, couples, or those living alone.

Interested in learning more? Then let’s get started!

Low-Maintenance Pets

Fish

If you’re looking for a pet that you don’t need to give much attention to, fish are a great choice. They are beautiful to look at and only require feeding once a day. However, it’s important to remember that the maintenance level of fish depends on the breed and aquarium size. For example, if you are looking for a 200L aquarium, such as the fluval roma, you can enjoy a wider selection of fish but cleaning it will take longer. 

Hermit Crabs

Don’t like the idea of water? Owning hermit crabs is a great alternative to fish, and with proper care, they can live up to 15 years. They only require a small living space and tend to keep to themselves. Although, they still require special attention. Alongside feeding them, they need to have shell options for when they grow. You can find more helpful information here.

Turtles

Since turtles don’t eat every day and their tank only requires cleaning around once a month, they are another great low-maintenance pet. Alongside being hardy, they are also knowledgeable. However, before you go getting one, it’s essential to do some research. There are many different types of turtles, each with its own unique characteristics. 

Birds

Birds are very fun pets to have as they can be trained well and are incredibly friendly. While cleaning their cage can be tiresome, they don’t have grooming costs and are affordable to feed. You do have to keep them entertained, however, with plenty of toys. Budgies, cockatiels, doves, and parrots are just a few popular pet breeds to choose from, but there are many out there. 

Hamster, Mice, and Rats

If you’re after a cuddlier pet, rodents including hamsters, mice, and rats might be the best choice for you. The food they eat is relatively inexpensive, and you don’t have to worry about grooming costs. You just need to make sure that they are happy, healthy and appreciated. Check out these ways to show your pet how much you love them to get started. 

Sea Monkeys

Finally, sea monkeys are the ultimate low-maintenance pet. They only need to be fed once/twice a week, and the entire process of watching them hatch and grow is exciting. They are a great option for small children as it helps them understand the responsibility of owning a pet, without all of the hard work.

And that’s it! These were six pets that are easy to take care of. What do you think? Are there any other suggestions that you would add to this list?
