The ever-popular pocket pets... but did you know that this encompasses pets that do not even fit into a pocket?

Yes! It’s like saying you wear a shirt that is shaped like a pair of pants!

It’s a ridiculous notion!

Rabbits, chinchillas, rats, spiders, insects, oh my! These creatures all fit into this category, but so are the typical gerbils, hamsters, mice and so forth.

Spiders and insects are considered “true” pocket pets, and are more commonly kept as nature provides these right outside your door.

Sure, you could go with a more traditional pocket pet, like a hamster, but believe it or not, some spiders and different insects make for very interesting pets to observe. Need a pocket pet you can cuddle? A soft bunny rabbit would be your first option.
