Consider factors like lifespan, care requirements, and space before deciding on a small pet like a rabbit, hamster, or guinea pig.
The habitat should be spacious, well-ventilated, and equipped with essentials like bedding, a water bottle, and hiding spots.
Clean the habitat at least once a week, with spot cleaning as needed to maintain hygiene.
Some species can cohabit peacefully, but others require separate spaces to prevent aggression or stress.
