People need to think about the amount of work taking care of a pet is, especially unusual pets like a duck or chicken. These animals can all be great animals if you are capable and ready to take care of them. You need to make sure you have the space and time for any pet especially bunnies. bunnies can be very loyal pets but you need to have the space for it to play outside of it's cage and the money to take care of the many expenses that come with having a bunny.

You also have to be prepared for the fact that these animals will get bigger. If you get your child a chick, it will get bigger and chickens need a coop and space outside once they are big enough.
