What is the best indoor pet for children?

The easiest to care for is a Pet TickleMe Plant. This is the only plant that will move like an animal by closing its leaves and lowering its branches when tickled. Great teaching responsibility for taking care of a living thing. Search Pet TickleMe Plant to see videos of this pet plant in action. My students become more sensitive to all living things after growing this plant.

Hamsters are a pretty good first pet. They are easy to clean out, feed and look after, Plus you don't have to take them for walks or anything like a dog

There are too many variables to determine the best pet for a child. Depends on the age of the child. And a pet is dependent on it's owner to provide the best environment

The best pets for kids are dogs

It depends how old the child is. if it understands what you say and will listen i would say a dog.

Do not get a ferret unless you know how to look after them well and train them, ferrets do not like to be held or restrained. Ferrets not socialized properly will become "fear biters)

Get a dog or a rabbit, dogs will keep the children busy and will be suitable for all ages, rabbits are very good to pet.

Guinea pigs also make good first time pets. As stated above it all depends on the age and maturity of the kid and his/her ability to care for the pet.

rats are the better pet than a hamster or rabbit. hamsters and rabbits are very shy and nervous. rats are very social and trainable.
