Most people prefer cats or dogs as pets, but that doesn’t mean pocket pets don’t make a great addition to your family! Here are some of the smallest pocket pets.

Dwarf hamsters are a fairly popular pocket pet. The average hamster is usually around eight inches in length. Dwarf hamsters, on the other hand, only grow to be three or four inches in length. However, dwarf hamsters can be very fearful if they aren’t properly socialized.

An often overlooked small pocket pet is the mouse. The long tail and history of wreaking havoc in the home make this pet unpopular with some adults, but mice really do make great pets. They are actually intelligent, making them fairly easy to train.
