9 Best Pets for Your Kids
6. Cockatiel
Though a little on the expensive side, cockatiels can be excellent pets for young kids. They are easy-going, amiable and fun to be around. Children just learning to take care of pets can easily care for cockatiels. While they love to be showered with attention, they are equally contented to be left alone. Maturity, attentiveness and quick grasping are highlights of cockatiels.
7. Mouse/rat
The little white mouse or the grey fat rat both are perfect pets for young, immature kids. They don’t mind being handled frequently and adjust easily to any environment. They mold themselves around their master’s life and are fun to have. Children can learn loads from these tiny creatures. Values like adaptability, commitment and easy going attitude ooze out of mice and rats. Besides, dispelling all misconceptions rats are extremely clean and rarely biting animals.

8. Tortoise
These short-legged reptiles have a really long lifespan. They also epitomize perseverance and tenacity. Plant-eating Russian tortoises can be great first pets for kids. They may not be warm and fuzzy like other mammals, but they are easy to maintain. Your child will learn to never leave any task halfway with a tortoise around.
9. Gerbil
Energetic little beasts, gerbils are an enthusiastic lot. Children will be completely entertained with gerbils in the house. Their agility is so infectious that kids too are on their toes in the company of gerbils. They are good pets for those who are not very emotional. But, mind you, gerbils can really drive you crazy!
