I want a new pet:(

I have had a dog, and I have one now, NO WAY I could handle another one. I had a snake, I caught him in the woods and let him go. I had a rabbit, but it died.

Anything from the pound. You will get a real pet still (cat/dog) and you will be doing a good deed.

I'd say hamsters. I think Guinea pigs need a bit more maintenance.

Hamsters and Guinea Pigs suck. They stink, need to be looked after a lot, ect.

I say you get a Tarantula or a Scorpion. They are cheap, low maintenance, require very little space and kill prey so they are fun to feed. They are also quiet and cool.

A pet scorpion actually sounds cool. I don't know where to get one though.

Maybe you can get rats for pets. A professor of mine has some rats for pets. And I'm talking about pet rats, not dirty ugly brown rats. She said they're pretty smart and they use a litter box O.O Also when she gets home, she said that they all scurry from the house to greet her.

All the little buggers do is eat and crap and if you don't give them food they will even eat their own crap :o

If you don't clean their cage at least every other day the room will start to smell like urnine. The thing is more expensive then you might think. Before buying a pet you should head down to the local library and take out some books on how to care for it.

Go with what pirate said,but I say cat over dog. They are just as rewarding as a dog but they are easier to train and they pretty much take care of themselves.

You can actually train them to use cat-boxes so you don't have to keep them caged up.

If you're looking for a cheap pet, go with a mouse. Dogs and Cats are fine (and you're helping out by getting from a pound like others have said, but if your pound is like the one around here, you have to pay for the spay/neuter, shots, ect. so it's abou $100), but in terms of cheap, I think mice are around $1.50 each. But it gets expensive if you branch out with accessories.

Yeah...wait, what? NO. I mean the same accessories that hamsters have, like the little tubes, the plastic ball that you can put them inside of, wheels, ect. Those kind of accessories.

I agree with hamsters, unless you're rough with animals, tend to forget things a lot or are clumsy and jumpy. They bite and fall off stuff if left unattended for even a few seconds. My fiance got one in like february, he's the cutest little thing but he's dirty. He has a loft where he drags his food and bedding into, but he also sees nothing wrong with taking ***** in there. cleaning out his tubes and his loft makes me almost puke, it's disgusting. If you can adopt a kitten either from a shelter or from a family who's cat had kittens (probably free!) that would be a great thing to do. I'm biased because I love kitties, and I love when they have homes that love them.

Mice are really really cheap. A friend of mine bought one on the way to school and got a small bag of food for it, it was cute and easy to take care of :D Cats and dogs are nice but if you want a cheap pet, I don't think you'd want one. Unless you can get a free puppy/kitten and some really cheap food and accessories.

Probably a hamster, gerbil, or small bird are your best bets. Haven't been to the pet store in awhile though.
