Number one was a freaking fennec Fox. A wild animal that is not at all wide spread and has extremely specific care needs, plus is impossible to find a vet for. They just stuck low maintenance in there as a buzz word and didn’t put any thought into the list whatsoever.
They are high maintenance, but DEFINITELY not one of the highest. The only thing that special about them is that you need to feed them fresh fruit, veggie, & bugs. Lower maintenance than parrots tbh. Idk why everyone acts like they’re such crazy pets.
@@luciaandducks They pee on you, die super easily, stink, need to have multiple, hard to train, take months to get used to their owners, need constant handling, very specific diets which are wildly expensive, need free roams, get sick easily, super difficult to find a vet for, and they chew through everything. Will make holes in your walls and will spit their food up across the room if you let them. I've had plenty of parrots and babysat parrots throughout my life. No contest easily.
leopard geckos should have around 40 gallons (36x18x18/12) in order to thrive. DONT put them in a 10 gal like I accidentally did (thought the 10 gal was a 20). I moved mine to an actual 20 and he's much happier, but he will be upgraded soon bc he's a big boy. Bearded dragons aren't simple either. they have a varied diet and NEED UVB light and supplements
Do you have any suggestions ? I am trying to secretly have a pet because my relative with whom I live with does not like and tolerate pets. I need one that is quiet and does not make a mess and no mites or insects should be attracted to it either 😆.
@@aeptacon some kind of smallish snake or crested gecko could work. crested geckos do make a little noise but its a quiet chirping unless they feel threatened
Fennec Foxes are pretty high maintenance and also can be really distructive. Capybaras are also high maintenance for the reasons you said. Sugargliders are literally one of the most high maintenance pets but they are cute and if you do the right research and have the time you should so get them. Chinchilla are also quite high maintenance and also its common for them to throw their poop. Ferrets are also pretty high maintenance and also you have to be pretty gentle with them and have to make sure the room they stay in have no even slightly possible danger. Ball Pythons are quite low maintenance as well as leopard geckos
As much as I love hedge hogs I highly recommend not getting one for the fact that there’s a rising gene where they’re slowly go paralyzed, it was so hard for me to watch mine who would run no joke all night slowly lose it ability to even stand still while shaking uncontrollably but who knows there may be a way to check if it has a chance to have the gene or not
I have parents that are old school. They don't see reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans or birds as pets. To them a dog or a cat is a pet. My father would say "what does a (insert exotic pet) do? You can't take them for a walk."
@@sunshinecarnivores1919you can do all those things if properly trained! Your dads also probably the type that doesn’t take his dogs on walks or train to fetch. Any animal can be trained lol
Salmonella Infectiom Many animals and pets can carry these germs, even if they look clean and healthy. Animals that can spread Salmonella to people include Poultry (chicks, chickens, ducklings, ducks, geese, and turkeys) Other birds (wild birds) Reptiles (turtles, lizards, and snakes) Amphibians (frogs and toads) Rodents (mice, rats, hamsters, and guinea pigs) Other small mammals (hedgehogs) Farm animals (goats, calves, cows, sheep, and pigs)
Please do your research before purchasing any new pets. This video says that these are low maintenance animals but some of them are not. So again please do your research!!!
Axolotls should not be on this list at all they are very sensitive and ball pythons should not be considered a beginner snake unless you have the proper space needed for them. SNAKES DO NOT NEED LIVE PREY TO LIVE it would probably be more harmful for both the snake and the rodent to feed live not only because the animal is alive and suffering when it’s being eaten but also the rodent could bite the snake and cause serious injury if the snake is not interested in it. So Basically Always ask if the snake is on frozen thawed prey when you buy one because in general frozen thawed in most cases costs less and also is just better in general for both animals
Agreed with the frozen thawed vs live. I only have one of my snakes on live(supervised) since that is all he will eat. All my others eat thawed or fresh kill.
Snakes. I don't know a single animal that is easier to maintain and care for than a snake. Ball pythons for example on needs to eat once a week or longer and is completely content with not being handle a lot if not at all. Though, i feel you should give it some interaction. They are slow moving chill and very friendly.
I have a chinchilla and an order to take care of them properly. It is a whole Lotta work and a lot of money definitely not for everyone i love my little dude despite being a pain in the butt sometimes😂
Insects are gross! Except for some spiders. Snakes, rodents and fish are crappy pets. Why would anyone want these disgusting creatures as pets Lizards are cool. Turtles 🐢 and tortoises are awesome!
these animals are great pets you just let everything you see and hear on tv freak you out, theyre probably the cleanest AND most docile animals on this VERY INCORRECT llst, this moron has no idea how much work these animals are, he just thinks anything can live in a tiny little tank and thats extremely cruel to these animals
@@scrubjay93 you’re right I’m way too emo about this. Mantis are really cool. Some insects are very interesting. Bees 🐝 are great. So many insects are pests that take down important parts of our ecosystem. We just can’t ignore them when they are a threat.
I am blocking this channel from my feed. Hyacinth Macaws are on this list? No, I won't even watch to see why because it will increase the chance it is viewed more. If you want a low-maintenance pet, get a pet rock. DO YOUR RESEARCH and if you get anything other than a dog or cat, find a vet who will see your species BEFORE you get the animal.

Thanks for sharing your insights. It's important to consider the specific care requirements of animals like axolotls and ball pythons, as well as the ethical considerations surrounding feeding practices for snakes.
This video literally is called low maintenance pets and some of the animals say “They are high maintenance
@K.L. Manring Honestly same

Sugargliders are SUPER HI MAINTENANCE.
Snakes do not require live prey to survive. Rare cases could occur, but most snakes in captivity eat frozen thawed rats and mice that are heated up
I have parents that are old school. They don't see reptiles, amphibians, crustaceans or birds as pets. To them a dog or a cat is a pet. My father would say "what does a (insert exotic pet) do? You can't take them for a walk."
Blue our female Nile monitor lizard will be soon… tell him that one! 😂😂😂
@@rosemizenko1932 He still see them as pets. He will say you can't teach a lizard to fetch, beg or take them for a walk.
@@sunshinecarnivores1919you can do all those things if properly trained! Your dads also probably the type that doesn’t take his dogs on walks or train to fetch. Any animal can be trained lol
Some of them can be taken for walks
@Aisha-721 From my father's point of view you can't train a lizard. With him if it doesn't have fur, four legs and a tail then its not a true pet.
I had a couple of sugar gliders and loved them for 10 years but they did die eventually
If your worried about the low-maintenance the pet probably doesn't need you to own them.

My dad told me that, "whoever has a scorpion is crazy!"
You can't touch them! They sting! I will not judge scorpion owners but I don't plan on getting one.

Aren’t ferrets higher maintenance than dogs?
Are dogs exotic?
this entire fucking script was 100% written by chatGPT or another model like claude
Please don’t get a fennec fox they can’t be potty trained they are loud and they are high maintenance also ferrets aren’t that low maintenance
Lmao 🤣 bugs and insects are not pets I don't understand how people can count them as a pet 😂
Sugar gliders are NOT low maintenance.
Green iguanas make LOUSY pets!!!!!
Y’all listen to one clown on you tube ? Do your research. Not Wikipedia either
