Is it okay to have a small pet in the house?

It depends on your living situation and the size of your home. Small pets, such as hamsters or guinea pigs, can be great companions for people who live alone or with other animals. However, they need plenty of attention and space to move around comfortably. If you're looking for an animal that's easy to care for but still provides companionship, consider adopting a bird instead.
