, and don't mind meeting new people. There isn't very much to say about this breed because they honestly do not do much. They will, however love you.<br><br>The Bad: Definitely not the type of pet to sit and watch all day or play with because they do not do much at all. Now this breeds maintenance does depend on your situation and can be easy or very complex, either the tortoise can live out in the open; in which case maintenance will be rather easy, clean up uneaten food and waste. However, if you do not have the space or just want to keep him in a secure environment it is quite complex and costly because they are bigger than usual and require large and very large shelters. You should NOT use an aquarium because they are usually too tall and narrow and provide extremely poor air circulation, if using an aquarium 75-gallon is the absolute minimum which can be very costly. I would recommend a 50-gallon or larger Rubbermaid container which is perfect and cheap for this type of tortoise.){kind=link}
. He was terrific for us and got along great with our dogs which was very surprising, wasn't shy, loved greeting, and being around people. There were problems here and there, but other than that he was terrific.<br><br>The Good: Playful, energetic, loved to be around people, easy to maintain, very clean. Since Dutch rabbits are so playful and energetic they do not like to be in enclosed spaces, this species would do better being able to wander around as long as they are supervised and should be very closely monitored if ever taken outside. Do NOT let them live outside as they are prey and will not survive long outside depending on your area.<br><br>The Bad: Don't do well in an enclosed space for a long time, need room to wander around. Remember they are prey animals and others can and will eat them, especially predatorial birds. Also you will want to "rabbit proof" your household which is just basically putting PVC pipe covers over all electric cords as they like to chew a lot and will damage electronics or can result in death for your rabbit. Do NOT scare them and supervise them closely no matter how well they get along with other animals and vise-versa. Our Dutch rabbit unfortunately passed away because while playing with our dogs, one dog barked loudly causing him to become scared and suffering a fatal heart attack.){kind=link}
 and the other necessities such as water, food, and shelter, then you are all set. They love to be handled, very open to meeting people, non-aggressive, and very calm.<br><br>The Bad: Leopard Geckos are nocturnal, so they sleep all day and are up all night. This could be a problem for people that wish to observe their pet being active during the normal hours which is not the case for these lizards. They are also somewhat lazy and calm, expect to see them sleeping in their rock or at the very most walk around a bit, climb on a climbing structure (if you have one), and kay down under the light. Also there are many products out there for reptiles, especially Leopard Geckos, do not let sales associates at pet stores pressure you into buying unnecessary items. For smaller Geckos a 10-gallon tank, a shelter, climbing structure, water dish, and heating light are all they really need. When they get larger you can upgrade to a 15-gallon or larger.){kind=link}
 and have worked with 2 others names Teddy and Todd. All 3 dogs varied in age from 4 months to 4 years and were all very very similar. My review will combine the experiences from all 3 to make it more general.<br><br>The Good: Pomeranians are very loving and playful. However, they can also be calm and collected depending on what's going on around them. They are perfectly fine playing one second and lounging around the next. They do not require heavy maintenance as long as you give them baths and keep them clean, and because of their small size they aren't a major threat to others with the exception of small pets because they like to chase them and can be quite mouthy. Pomeranians are great companions and family dogs.<br><br>The Bad: Pomeranians have a lot of fur and it is very thick, so if you don't give them baths and brush them often enough their fur will become tangled and various debris will get caught in it which can lead to other health and/or maintenance issues. They also have health problems all 3 Poms I have dealt with have had severe health problems which lead to the death of 2. Lily, had a bad kidney and due to her young age and extremely small size she had to be put down; Todd had a fatal brain tumor that lead to death in the manner of 2 weeks; and Freddy takes medication for an early onset of arthritis in his hips. All 3 of these cases were very painful, but expensive. From my experiences I would say that this breed is very prone to health issues which can be very expensive, so be prepared and have them checked up regularly.){kind=link}
