The Power of Pets!

Pet Rufferals reviews your favorite species and shares information on how to care for them. These online guides discuss set-up, healthcare, feeding, and temperament information.

Pet Rufferals reptile guides share how reptiles can make excellent pets and be highly affectionate.


Lizards, snakes, tortoises, and turtles are the main reptiles commercially available as pets. Choosing the right reptile for your home can help you find a reliable friend you can enjoy for years.

Each has its unique personality and specific needs, though those needs will vary from one species to another.

Birds are naturally highly social and thrive on company, nurturing, and frequent interaction.

Many species of birds make fun, engaging pets. If you’re considering bird ownership, care requirements include providing good housing, nutritious food, and monitoring the bird’s health. Above all, you’ll need to provide plenty of enrichment and interaction, which is crucial for your pet bird’s happiness and alertness.

Amphibians can be good pets for some people but may not be ideal for families with children. 

Amphibians have specific requirements that depend on the species and must be cared for properly throughout their lives. These requirements can be more challenging than those of reptiles, but they can also make great pets for some people.

Amphibian Care

A Hermit Crab is crawling on some rocks.

If you’re looking for a low-maintenance pet, the hermit crab might be perfect for you!

Hermit crabs are social creatures that can make great family pets but do have some specific care requirements. They can be social, low maintenance, and beautiful to watch.

Crustacean Care

Small animals can be good pets for many reasons. Below is a list of reasons to consider:

  • Space: Small animals take up less space than larger pets.
  • Cost: Small animals can be cheaper to care for than larger pets.
  • Maintenance: Small animals can be less physically demanding to care for than larger pets.
  • Cleanliness: Small animals can be easier to clean up after than larger pets.
  • Companionship: Pets can provide unconditional love and friendship and help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
  • Emotional development: Pets can help children develop empathy and compassion.
