I work long hours and live in a tiny apartment. Owning a pet is not feasible in my situation. But I feel so very lonely when I get home.
What are some pets that require the most minimal of maintenance, and that can live in such a small space?
Also, I work a job where I could die or get incapacitated any day, so the pet should be something that would not be too heartbreaking if it died.
>>
Maybe you should try going outside and talking to people instead of keeping a pet isolated in your tiny sad apartment for 10 hours a day
>>
Goldfish. Carp are indestructible if you have a nice setup and they can easily survive a wide range of temperatures.

Tarantula hands-down, and also a bunch of other invertebrates
>>
>>4611513
turtles(NOT TORTOISES) are pretty rewarding for what they are, can go without food for awhile (especially if the tank is stocked with fish), only issue is they live forever and are very expensive to set up

You should probably just call your mom every once in a while

Get a big lizard. They don't eat much, and are cool to look at. Start up cost is a terrarium, heat lamp and some hidey holes. After that you just feed it crickets. They also live way longer than dogs. Iguana, chameleon, monitor lizard, bearded dragon. They all live for way longer than you think and are bad ass. Even a salamander sanctuary is cool.

Quit jerking off, watching porn, clean your apartment and buy a house plant. You'll feel better in about a month.

This.
Most fish are not actually that easy to keep. Tetras or a better? Sure, but you will probably end up killing goldfish if you don’t treat them right.

>>4611513
Get a husky, I leave mine alone for days and he doesn’t care

This my goldfish got sick so I kept it in a bucket in my backyard for a month while nuking it with medication. It's still alive years later and lives in the pond again. I didn't even filter the water. I just kept an air pump in the bucket and changed the water 50% everyday.

Caged pets like rats and mice, get a cage with verticality, like a 3 story cage, so you can still save space (basically, instead of a 15x15 cage, get a 5x5 cage with 3 stories connected by a ramp). Don't get a guinea pig because the WHEEKing is going to get obnoxious really fast.

I think he was meaning in the camel sense. take in a lot at once and hold for a while.
>>
>>4611513
Look into getting some sort of invert or arachnid. Jumping spiders and mantises are really cute. Reptiles and amphibians could work for you but they have more husbandry requirements that you might not be willing to provide.
>>
>>4616956
and the other thing
>>
>>4619891
this,.... SO MUICH THIS!
>>
>>4611513
personally instead of breeding more and more retarded dogs, literally retarded genes that arent good, and horses we should be forcing evolutions hand to make a variety of any animal tiny, how cool would it be to have a 100 aquarium thats part terrarium with gators and tigers and normal fish? super fing cool thats how cool. get to work, im a customer
>>
>>4612065
iguana nope gets huge and violent twice a year, chameleon expensive and hard to keep, monitor lizard lol think komodo dragon only 5 feet long, bearded dragon aint bad but chinese water dragon is easier less active etc but still have to breed rats to make it economical.
>>
>>4612183
get an oscar, feed it whatever doesnt matter, no lights cool no heat cool water filtration is for bitches, but it will get a foot long and jump out of the tank in your general direction when its hungry, if it sees you eating mac and cheese better wear some armor.
>>
>>4619495
fuck mice and gerbils, rats are cool af, super smart, potty trainable, their like nice as dogs but wit the instint to kill like cats, get really bi g too. avoit white ones, avoid red eyes these were breed for lab experiments and inevitably get cancer, that being said get the right one and you will be shocked how personable they are. ps cage only necessary because they need to be trained, after they know where to shit just open the cage, you can call them, you can teach them to fetch etc.

Looks to me like you're so far up your own ass that you deserve to be lonely. Every aspect of your pets quality & length of life is going to depend on you. It's a living thing, not some hug pillow for your worthless ass
>>
>>4611513
Basically you want some kind of pet that doesn't need any maintence or proper care, so go with a venus fly trap.

Lacking empathy is an easy fix for that.
