There are so many pets out there which are perfect for children, we are going to look at some of these today.

Guinea Pigs
The first and most appropriate pet for children is guinea pigs. These are small, fluffy animals which are the perfect cuddle pet. They are very timid and calm. They are also very easy to care for which is excellent for encouraging children to help.

Hamsters
These are even smaller than guinea pigs, but still a good pet for children. If they are looked after well and handled they can be loving pets. It is a good starter pet for children as they do not have a long life span. But it does allow your child to have some responsibility.

Fish
The final option we are going to look into is fish. These are not the small, fluffy pet children may like. However, fish are amazing creatures. They do not take too much care, which is perfect to allow the children to be responsible for feeding them.
