I have 3 dss 11,8 and 8 months and the older boys just loves animals. When my ex p was around he didnt like animals only dogs but only dogs that wouldnt be allowed in the house [humm]. I would like to get my dc a small pet as i think it would be great fun for them but also one that doesnt have to take alot of work looking after. I was thinking along the lines of a guinea pig or rabbit. Do any mns know which one would be more friendliest? and which one would my dc get more fun from.... please help im confused as never had a pet myself as a child and thats one of the reason i would like them to have one to cause i was always told no!
