How Long Do Pets Live?

Video Transcript

Hi my name is Tim Labelle and this is my wife April and we are the owners of Pet Barn Exotics in Hartland, Michigan. We are here on behalf of Expert Village to help you choose the right pet. When looking for your pet, of course you need to ask yourself how long do you want this pet? Is it something you want in your family forever? Is it something that you are getting for your kids that when your kids go off to college or they move out of the house is it something they will take with them or is it something that you want to get rid of at that point? There are tons of different animals that you can look into. For example, if you are looking for something that you want for the rest of your life and it is going to be a family member, you should talk about parrots. Parrots can live up to 120 years. That is something that you are going to have to leave in your will to somebody. If you are looking for something just for your children and when they go off to college you want to get rid of it, something like that you are looking at hamsters, rabbits, small rabbits, guinea pigs. If it is something that you do not mind and when your kids go off to school, and you are going to keep it, you should look at reptiles, smaller birds and things like that. All of these animals do have different life expectancies of how long they are going to live. It is up to you and how long you want that pet. That is one of the questions that need to be answered before you purchase your pet.
