I want to bye a rabbit please guide me to choose a best rabbit for me
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I really like the angora and mini lop breeds as they are beautiful and fun to keep. Try to get to see the rabbit you are choosing for a bit so that you can make sure that he is social and interactive. Also, make sure that the rabbit is eating well and has been evaluated by a veterinarian to ensure that he is doing well. Good luck!

I already have a dog, rabbit and hamster but I want a pet that I can snuggle with but also play with. I'm trying to stay away from getting a dog or cat. What would you recommend?
Have you considered a guinea pig? Guinea pigs are relatively affordable pets and are considered a good companions and social. But, bear in mind that guinea pigs do best when paired with another guinea pig of the same sex, which can increase your costs. The guinea pigs need a large cage to live in, which usually cost less than $50. Bedding, food and toys can get pricey, but you can save by purchasing fresh veggies on sale.

My Guinea pig just started acting weird maybe 2 days ago. He isn’t eating that much and barely drinking any water..and I work everyday and the only time I can take him to get checked out would be Saturday, but I’m not sure if the petco near me will s
Thanks for reaching out about your guinea pig. This sounds serious and should not wait until Saturday. Anorexia for 2 days is a serious concern, four to five days might be fatal. You might have to check for clinics open later in the evening. Offering food and water via a syringe might improve things, but is not a cure. Check with the Petco veterinarian to inquire on their experience with exotic animal. Investigating which local veterinarian has the most exotics experience might prove beneficial. Good luck.

I have three medium sized cichlids, Aswad, Asfar, and Jameela and two budgies, Sky and Coco. We have to go on a holiday. It may take 2-3 months. Should we give them to our friends? But they don't know a lot about the pets though we could teach them.
That is a difficult situation to be in, and I don't think that there is a right or wrong answer to your question. I think that you should look at the pros and cons of all of your options, and see what you are most comfortable with doing. It may be worthwhile to discuss things with both your friends and the pet store as well. As far as taking the animals with you - there are many animals that do well with car trips, but traveling must be done very carefully. The birds may become stressed in the car - make sure they are in a small carrier that does not allow them to fly or hurt themselves. Consider covering their carrier while you are driving, and then uncovering them when you stop to allow for them to have light and to be able to see to eat and drink. Make sure that every time you stop for a break that they are offered water - it can be difficult to have water available at all times on a car trip as it will spill. Food should be available at all times due to a budgie's high metabolism
