It is usually said that dogs are man’s best friend and cats, according to them, are man’s best friend too.
If they are the most common pets that we consider as trusted animals to keep at home, there are many other species that make amazing companions for everyone. Did you know that pigs are very social on top of being very intelligent? And a crocodile can be the best guard you ever had! Would you dare to adopt one? You must be well prepared before adopting exotic pets, as they always come with challenges. Are you surprised? But be assured that the joy and happiness they bring is tremendous.

Pigs
Just like walking your dog and training him to behave, especially when you have guests, the pig requires the same attention. They are quick learners, affectionate, curious, playful, and can use a litter box just as cats. Can you imagine that? They appreciate companionship and are at ease enough to live in a house. Just recently, celebrities called pigs the new cats, and Paris Hilton, George Clooney, David Beckham, Princess Anne to name a few, have adopted one. Are you next? There are 16 species of pigs and they were among the first animals to be domesticated 9,000 years ago. The Vietnamese Pot Belly, the Pygmy Hog, and the Yucatan Pig are among the most common breeds that can make the best pets.

Crocodiles
Can you imagine yourself walking your crocodile with a harness on a warm Sunday afternoon at sunset?
And yes, it is perfectly legal to pet your crocodile at home if you are living in the UK. However, you must have a license to keep a wild animal and provide evidence that you have the knowledge and equipment to take care of them appropriately. By 2014, there were more than one million reptiles including crocodiles and their relatives kept as pets in the UK and the demand for new licenses has kept increasing since then. There are two species that can be domesticated – freshwater crocodiles and saltwater crocodiles. These semiaquatic reptiles are known for their intelligence and the ability to coordinate their actions just like us. Do you think ‘Nile’ can be your next best friend?

Frogs and Toads
If pigs and crocodiles are a little too exotic for you, how about owning a cute little frog. Maybe it is one of the best pets if you are a beginner. They are quite self-sufficient and do not require large spaces or special attention. Their lifespans are usually between four to 15 years and even more. So, be prepared for a long friendship. Just keep in mind that they always need the appropriate humidity and freshwater.
Some frogs are completely aquatic, others semi-aquatic, or even arboreal. And do not think about feeding them with cabbages and peas, frogs are generally carnivorous. Do not worry, there is no need to hunt for flies or crickets, live prey is available at pet stores. If you like the active and mainly aquatic, Dwarf Frogs are the ones for you. Oriental Fire Bellied Toads will bring colour to your home. They are easy to take care of and very active too.
