The best low maintenance pets
<p dir="ltr">If you’ve always wanted a pet but never really bothered because of how high maintenance it is, fret not.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Below is a list of five of the lowest maintenance pets to have. </p>
<ol>
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>Hamster</strong></p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">These cute little furry animals are super easy to take care of once they’re set up.</p>
<p dir="ltr">All you need is to make sure they have a water bottle, food bowl and their wheel. </p>
<ol start="2">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>Guinea Pig</strong></p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">The adorable guinea pigs are low maintenance and look after themselves. A dream, right?! </p>
<p dir="ltr">They require a bath here and there and the usual cage, bedding, food and water. </p>
<ol start="3">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>Turtle</strong></p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">The Painted Turtle is possibly one of the best pets to have because it doesn’t even need to be fed everyday. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Feed it a couple of times a week, make sure it's comfortable in the new aquatic home where the temperature and cleanliness are looked after. </p>
<ol start="4">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>Snake</strong></p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">You’re probably thinking what the hell? But obviously get a reptile that isn’t venomous. </p>
<p dir="ltr">They are super easy to care for as long as you keep them in a properly sized tank, maintain the tank at a comfortable temperature and feed them their preferred meals.</p>
<ol start="5">
<li dir="ltr" aria-level="1">
<p dir="ltr" role="presentation"><strong>Sea Monkey (aka Brine Shrimp)</strong></p>
</li>
</ol>
<p dir="ltr">These tiny creatures were only created in the last century and are sold in hatching kits.</p>
<p dir="ltr">All you need to do is set up their water tank, feed them every five days and keep their tank well-oxygenated. </p>
