Pets Feedback: My friend had a small pet rabbit when she was living in a dorm. And I had another who had a pet rat. And believe it or not, rats are VERY affectionate pets, and quite easy to take care of. They are also quite smart. I almost considered getting one, but my cats would probably try to have a feast on it… The pet rabbit was also quite cute and rather easy to take care of.

In a dorm, cats are quite hard to take care of. Litter boxes need to be changed everyday! Some will say it doesnt matter, but the smell in a small dorm or apartment can be unbearable if you do not change it everyday, you can also run the risk the cats tracking dirty litter clumps everywhere by it not being changed everyday. Cats should also be socialized frequently or they grow reclusive and become a bit unfriendly, so i do not recommend a cat.

Dogs are also difficult to take care of if you are in school and living in a small dorm or apartment. For one, it is time consuming to have to house train them, and to train their behaviours. Dogs need a great deal of attention as well, and if you are gone too much, they can become depressed.

Pets Feedback: Your best choice would obviously be something simple. You’re going to be spending a lot of time studying, at least 4 hours a day, and maybe even working. When you find free time you’ll probably be at a party of with friends, not necesarrily with your pet. I would suggest maybe you don’t get a pet until you see how busy you are. But if you want one right away, I would get a cat. Cat are simple, just leave a food and water bowl out, give them something soft to lay of sleep on, and keep a litter box out. I would suggest you get an automatic litter box though. Also get a trained cat, not one that you have to, it will make you become very unhappy.

Pets Feedback: i think pet fishes should be the best if you live in a dorm …….. hamster …….. chinchilla …….. rabbit …. they need lots of attentions and they smells if you don’t look after them right ……. if you opted for fish ……. try guppies, angel fish, all kinds of tetras …. they are nice to watch and they require little or no maintenance except for the occasional feeding …….. goldfish and discus are a problem though …….. they are quite fussy at feeding time and the water tends to get murky much quicker

Pets Feedback: Small fish tank and I think the maximum for dorm is ten gallon. You can have about six fish and if you don’t put too much food in the water they will live and with a good filter there won’t be a lot of maintenance. Or you could get a hermit crab but they can get really smelly. Snakes and other reptiles don’t really do much.
