Fortunately, not all of the great animals in the world are large. There\u2019s a wide array of small animals that can worm their way into your heart\u2026 and your apartment. Read on to see what\u2019s available to satisfy the need for a pet, while not taking up too much room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/betta-1024x667.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/betta-1024x667.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/betta-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/betta-768x500.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/betta-640x417.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/betta-115x75.jpg 115w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/betta-800x521.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/betta-1200x781.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/betta-600x391.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/betta.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: ivabalk via Pixabay<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Betta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of all pets, the Betta is perhaps the perfect\nbalance of engagement while taking up limited space. These intelligent,\nbeautiful fish will be happy to see you when it comes feeding time and they can\nexist in very small areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you shouldn\u2019t just hop into it. A\nBetta really needs at least five gallons of water and regular feeding. Don\u2019t be\nfooled by tiny tanks that say they\u2019re Betta-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re willing to commit to regular water\nchanges, you can get away with just a heater. That said, a filter is still\nrecommended and will make your fish much happier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it doesn\u2019t get much better for space savings than a fish which can sit on a nightstand or desks without requiring a ton of work on your part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bearded-dragon-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bearded-dragon-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bearded-dragon-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bearded-dragon-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bearded-dragon-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bearded-dragon-360x270.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bearded-dragon-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bearded-dragon-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bearded-dragon-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bearded-dragon-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bearded-dragon.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: skeeze via Pixabay<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

They\u2019ll spend most of the day\nconfined to their enclosure, of course, and they\u2019re relatively low maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All rodents have some basic care requirements,\nbut many people are better suited to care for them than reptiles or fish. The\nlatter need strict environmental control, which can be a bit more haphazard\nthan just having a little fluffy dude around to pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As long as you can make those? Well, the two\nof you are in business. They\u2019re non-demanding, small, and don\u2019t smell as\nstrongly as many rodents. If you\u2019re wanting a fluffy companion animal, then\nit\u2019s hard to go wrong with one of these fuzzy fellows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonus points if you go with a long-haired variant. Guinea pigs have to be the cutest rodents around!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/small-dog-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/small-dog-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/small-dog-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/small-dog-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/small-dog-640x425.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/small-dog-113x75.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/small-dog-800x531.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/small-dog-1200x797.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/small-dog-600x398.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/small-dog.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: Pezibear via Pixabay<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

Small breeds, in particular, seem to do well when\nthey\u2019re given enough attention and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dog is a lot of work and a huge commitment,\nso think twice before you go down this route. You\u2019ll also need to be picky\nabout the breed, not all small dogs are actually suitable for smaller living\nquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do your research before you decide <a href=\"https:\/\/doggiedesigner.com\/tiny-dog-breeds-stay-small\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">which breed is the right pet<\/a> for your family. Make sure that you have a vet, a dog-safe space in the home, and a good assortment of toys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you\u2019re not just limited to small dogs. If you have the physical room, then many larger breeds are content to sit around during the day. Just make sure that you walk them regularly to avoid weight problems and separation anxiety!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ball-Python-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ball-Python-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ball-Python-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ball-Python-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ball-Python-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ball-Python-113x75.jpg 113w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ball-Python-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ball-Python-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ball-Python-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.pawboost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Ball-Python.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><span class=\"caption\">Photo Credit: sipa via Pixabay<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.
