Pocket pets are what people call small domestic animals such as gerbils, hamsters, ferrets and rabbits.  Many people opt to adopt a pocket pet as opposed to a dog or cat because they are easier to take care of, and they don't require as much attention as their canine and feline counterparts.  Whether you live in a small space and cannot have a large animal, you’re gone all the time and cannot properly care for a more active animal or whether you just want a pet that is low maintenance and relaxed, pocket pets make great companions for the non-dog and non-cat people.Show Notes:  https://www.thepetladyltd.com/episode-29-pocket-pets Looking for Pet PawCast Merchandise?
