Wild animals we'd love to pet

The dogs and cats we have as our pets are ‘oh-so-cute’ and we would do anything for their happiness. But, there are also animals, apart from dogs and cats that are so cute that we all have wished to have them as pets at some point in our lives. Canva

Hedgehogs

Keeping hedgehogs as pets has been quite in trend since the past couple years and why not? These small spiky creatures are charming and low-maintenance pets and have a unique ability to curl into small, squishy balls. Canva

Ferrets

You either love Ferrets or dislike them! There is no in between. Ferrets are playful, curious and energetic pets that form strong bonds with their owners. They have sleek bodies and mischievous personalities so prepare to be entertained. Canva

Sugar gliders

While the name might not ring a bell, seeing them will play sounds of love in your heart. Sugar gliders are social animals that bond closely with their owners and are known for their flying and leaps. Canva

Chinchillas

Chinchillas look like small, squishy rabbits but are very different. Admired for their soft fur and playful behaviour, chinchillas are cute, furry rodents. Canva

Pygmy goats

We only recommend keeping these if you have a farm or a big enough space for them. Pygmy goats make delightful pets due to their small size and are also super friendly. Canva

Squirrel monkeys

While people have tried to domesticate squirrel monkeys, we do not recommend doing so. Although they are super cute and their playful antiques make them adorable, they do not fit well in a captive environment. Canva

Holland Lop rabbits

With floppy ears and soft fur, these small-sized bunnies are very adorable and have sweet, gentle behaviour which makes them perfect as pets who can be trained well. Canva

Miniature pigs

Another animal we only recommend keeping if you have good space for them, are the mini pigs. Although they have ‘mini’ in their name, these pets still require care and space to develop well. Canva

Axolotls

Axolotls are aquatic creatures and are often called ‘walking fish’. Axolotls can regenerate their limbs and come in various colours, making them unique and appealing as pets. Canva

Fennec foxes

With adorably large ears and playful personalities, fennec foxes are charming exotic pets. But, they only function well in a captive environment when they are trained well, so keep caution. Canva
