They both require vaccinations, behavior training, diet, potty training, grooming, and spaying & neutering. They also have a very unique personality. And since they are mostly smaller animals they usually comfort you in your bed and on your lap when you are sitting down.

Also prepare for proper fish tank maintenance which means replace water every month and use a scrub brush to scrape the algae. Be sure to keep a close look on the aquatic life cycle that the fish are eating and everything is maintained.

The right small animal diet, a clean and dry habitat, fresh food and water, safe toys, and attention every day are important elements that will make your small animal happy and healthy. About once each week, remove all bedding and wash the cage with a mild soap solution. Rinse the cage with clean water to remove all soap residue. Always replace the old bedding with fresh bedding. A dirty cage could result in your pet developing respiratory problems due to ammonia build up in the cage caused by urine.
