7) Chickens

Chickens are one of the more unusual pets you can have. They come in various breeds, including bantam and standard, and can provide a great source of eggs and entertainment. Chickens can be easy to care for, just make sure you have a coop to keep them in and provide a regular diet. Plus, they’re a great conversation starter when visitors come over!

8) Hedgehogs

Hedgehogs are a popular pet choice due to their adorable appearance and friendly nature. They’re relatively low-maintenance, but need a secure and safe environment to thrive. Hedgehogs do best with plenty of time for play, a warm and humid habitat, and a diet rich in protein. While not commonly found in pet stores, they are available from some breeders. They make a great companion animal and can live up to 8 years.
