9 Pets are easy to take care of!
If you're looking for a pet that's easy to take care of, but still requires some attention, then these are the pets for you. They don't require much time or effort on your part and they will keep your home clean while providing companionship.
1. Hissing cockroaches.
A hissing cockroach is a small, brown roach that can be found in most urban areas. It has wings and legs but no antennae or eyes. The male hisses when threatened by predators like cats and dogs, while the female emits a high-pitched growl when threatened by other insects or humans.
Hissing cockroaches require minimal care — they're an ideal pet for children because they're easy to handle and don't bite! Just make sure you keep them away from food sources so they don't contaminate your kitchen with their waste products (this includes pet snakes). You should also make sure that any plants near where you keep your insect are kept well watered so there's no mold growth on them as well as making sure there are enough places around where these insects can hide away from predators such as birds or raccoons who might try attacking them during mating season!
2. Ball pythons.
Ball pythons are one of the easiest snakes to take care of. They're small, so they don't take up much space in your home or on your furniture. Ball pythons can even be fed as treats! You can give them mice and rats (which is what we did), but you'll want to make sure that the snake isn't too hungry for its own good before doing this—a hungry ball python might try to eat you instead!
Ball pythons are also very docile, which makes them great pets. They're not too hard to take care of either—they don't require much attention and their enclosure doesn't need to be fancy or elaborate. All you really need is a tank (or enclosure) for your new pet and some substrate for it to lie on or hide in.
3. Gargoyle geckos.
Gargoyle geckos are one of the easiest pets to keep. They're relatively cheap and live for a long time, making them an ideal choice for people who want to keep a pet but aren't ready for a huge commitment.
Gargoyle geckos can be kept in an appropriately sized tank with plants or corals that provide shade, humidity, and hiding spots. You'll need to provide plenty of calcium (i.e., crushed eggshells) so they don't get brittle bones or teeth problems that can lead to their death due to lack of food intake if they don't catch prey out there in nature.
4. Rosy boas.
Rosy boas are easy-to-take-care-of reptiles that can be kept in a tank. They're nocturnal, meaning they sleep during the day and hunt at night. They eat mice and rats, which make them ideal pets for households with children or animals who might otherwise try to eat them (like cats). Because they're easily handled by humans, rosy boas are also a good first pet for young children.
They like to be held, and they can be trained to do tricks. They can live for as long as 20 years in captivity, so if you want a pet who will stick around for the long haul, this is one species worth considering.
5. Corn snakes.
Corn snakes are easy to care for, as they don't require much space. They also need heat and humidity, so if you have an automatic thermostat in your house then you're all set! Corn snakes can be kept in a 10-gallon tank with a hide box (or several) and plenty of ventilation.
Corn snakes eat mice, rats, and chicks—not necessarily in that order—so if you want to feed them something besides crickets or mealworms, it's best to get some live food from the pet store first before trying anything else. Corn snakes are very sensitive to change when it comes time for feeding time; they'll run away from you if there's any kind of lighting on during their feeding time!
6. Leopard geckos.
Leopard geckos are one of the most common pet lizard species. They're easy to take care of, easy to feed and breed, and they can be handled easily by the owner. They also require little space—a 10-gallon tank is usually enough for one leopard gecko pet!
Leopard geckos are not as demanding as other pet lizards such as bearded dragons or chameleons (which require specialized enclosures that must be fed live prey).
Gecko owners can opt to feed their pets pre-made leopard gecko food. However, there are some owners who prefer to feed their pet leopard geckos with live crickets, mealworms, and other insects. In this case, you must ensure that the food is not too large for your pet lizard to swallow—otherwise, it may choke on it!
7. Superworms.
Superworms are one of the easiest pets to take care of. They're easy to feed, require no grooming, and don't make a mess in your home. Most importantly, super worms can live for up to two years or more! You'll need to check their tank regularly so that they don't get hungry but otherwise these worms will live happily in their tank for ages.
You can buy superworm at most pet stores or online retailers like Amazon Prime (which has free shipping).
Superworms are easy to care for, but they don't live very long! The average lifespan of a super worm is only about 1-2 years. Keep this in mind if you're looking for an exotic pet that you can keep for the long term.
8. Mealworms.
Mealworms are one of the easiest pets to take care of. They’re nutritious, easy to find at pet stores, and don’t require much space (or money).
Mealworms are great for your pet because they provide good protein for them—a diet rich in protein helps keep your dog or cat healthy and strong!
Mealworms are also very easy to care for, which makes them a great choice for beginning reptile owners. All you need is a small container of bedding and some food, like cereals or vegetables.
9. Waxworms.
What do waxworms eat? Waxworms are a type of insect that can be used as food for your pet. They have a natural diet consisting of leaves and other vegetation, but they also enjoy eating rotten fruit.
How often do you feed them? You will need to feed waxworms daily or every other day depending on how quickly they grow in your tank. If you're using a smaller tank, then you may only need to feed them once per week; however, if you have a larger aquarium with plenty of room for growth then feeding more frequently will be necessary (usually twice per week). The best way to tell how much food is needed is by observing the length and coloration of their bodies when they mature enough for consumption by humans; otherwise, just follow these general guidelines:
Waxworm size: egg size = juvenile = adult (1 inch diameter).
Waxworm lifespan: 1-year minimum.
Conclusion.
If you're looking for an easy pet animal to take care of, these are the best pets for that job. They aren't as expensive or time-consuming to care for, and they can be a great way to introduce yourself or your kids (or both) to exotic animals. Plus, these critters are just plain fun!
