It all depends on the child. If its really responsible, gentle, smart and caring than a guinea pig or a rabbit could be a good fit, as long as you have the time and money and most importantly adult supervision. If you want a cheap, easy to care pet for I would go with a beta fish, hamster, mouse or a gerbil. Good luck!

What is the best pet for a 2 year old?

The best pet for a 2 year old is a matter of opinion, but many young children do well with a dog or a cat. At the age of 2, it might be best to stick with a pet that belongs to the whole family so that you can be sure the pet is cared for and not hurt.


What is the best pet for a eight year old kid?

It depends on what you think your child can handle, though most eight-year-olds are already quite capable of larger tasks such as taking care of a cat or a small/medium sized dog. A lot of families choose a hamster as a child's first pet so that they will learn responsibility before bringing a larger animal into the house. It's best to ask your child what kind of pet they would like, though.
