Would a rabbit be a nice pet to have? What about a turtle or tortoise?

Anyone here ever had a turtle for a pet? Has anyone ever told you that they're unclean/not sanitary animals or have superstitions concerning said animals?

I've also heard that rabbits tend to breed a lot... Who here likes these kinds of pets? They're not as common as dogs or cats or goldfish... maybe.

Just get a dog.

It's true that reptiles and some lizards carry salmonella, but as long as you wash your hands after handling them, you should be fine.

Rabbits CAN be good pets, but they are a little more work that say, a cat, in that they aren't trained to use the litter box.

The one thing that I'd ask, is that PLEASE BE SURE YOU ARE ABLE TO COMMIT TO THE PET FOR THE LONG HAUL. Regardless of the pet you get, there will be work and money involved (for veterinary care, not just food and toys).

Is there any reason in particular you don't want a "traditional" pet like a cat or dog?

Turtles are cool. They can actually run pretty fast depending on which kind you get. They also look badass when they eat.

I've had both. If you get rabbit fixed no problem. Now Turtles are ok but there not really very fun or anything, and as far as the mess goes It didn't seem particularly bad. Both pets are alright, but their just not really exiting.

Wait. TC, are you the person who posted a week or two ago that you got rid of your dog because you got bored with it?

Rabitss take alot of maintenance and cleaning. Turtles and tortoises carry very bad diseases, but if you can get over that theres still the problem that they are soooo Boring...

Just get a ferret.

Turtles smell and you gotta wash your hands after touching them. lol I'd get something more traditional, like a beaver.Oborozukiyo

ummmm illegal???

As a Canadain, i believe the imprisonment of my National animal is a cruel and heinous act :P

Of course thats always another option, but if you dont keep them ocupied they are known to visously attack there owners. There were 11 deaths last year...

You also need to buy equipmet such as a sabre, a scorer, and body wire, all in minature....

And they require next to constant training, or else they will have bad form and lunge distance.

Ya. And then a week after there was another killing... Got so bad they had to pass laws forbiding the licensing and selling of Fenceing Hamsters without a permit. Can only get them in some specialty stores now, cost a fortune. But i know where to get them, and cheap too...

What ya do, is you hop on a flight out to anaheim...

Then make your way to S. Harbor Bouelevard. Theres a theme park across the street, Its called "Disneyland'. Buy tickets, and enter the main park. On Main street, there should be a guy with a red and blue hat standing under the door frame to the fake dentists building... Tell him your looking for Jim, and that Fun sent ya. He'll take you to the guy you want to see...

This is going to be great! In a few short, easy, and non-time consuming steps, I'll have my very own fencing hamster. My friends won't be able to give me guff any more about not having anything going for me, I'll just show them my fencing hamster, and they'll be more jealous then ever. Thanks man! I'm going to go buy one right now!

No problem, just dont ignore em... They go Homicidal pretty quick.

My cousins have rabbits and they crap A LOT!!! I am not joking but they sure are the nicest animals and are very cuddly except for the ones that aren't social, they tend to not be the best. As for turtles, they sure as heck will outlive any other household pets, my neighbor has three turtles and a baby turtle on the way and each individual turtle's lifetime is like 100 years!!! At least that is what they said but they can't be trusted a lot of the time. Rabbits=okayish pets. Turtles=long living pets. You decide.

I warn them every time...

Turtles are fairly boring pets, and male rabbits just hump anything and everything and females...well they are like hamsters or lizards, or any other pet takes a lot of maintenance but you get no value out of them besides watching them eat, poop or walk around. SaintLeonidas

Value? For what, their skin or something? You mean like sheep shearing to sell wool and such? Or taking a turtle's shell or something? That's a bit unconventional...

No he means what fun are they???

Do they really do anything??

I prefer cats to be honest, but if I had to choose between turtle or rabbit I'd go with the rabbit. And yes I have heard that rabbits are dirty, but then again I have had experience with turtles being smelly animals and I wouldn't really want to condemn an animal to basically spend their entire life in a box. At least with the rabbit I would have an urge to let it out and play with it now and again.

Rabbits are actually pretty nice.
