Since my brother, sister and me got to choose whichever pet we want, I figured it’s best to ask first, we can choose 3. We had a cat few years ago and figured that they are not best for house, we have a nice doggo in village but it works since he’s always in yard and has plenty of space to run around, it’s different from living in outskirts of a city, but even here we have huge forest so it wouldn’t be a problem walking him, besides, he’s nice and the cat was a total dick for some reason.

Now, we all decided that we will be having 3 of these, but we can’t decide which are the best.

Also, one more thing, since our cousins in village have ostriches, yes, they have 2 huge grown ass ostriches in their yard, we want to take something similar for our own and would this nice bird be a good choice?

      Small lizards and so on don’t need domesticating, since they are being usually held in terrariums. Fennec can be domesticated, it’s not very easy though. Capybaras did went through domestication both historically and currently, just it was dependent on region and pigs are vastly better choice for livestock when compared.

        Fennecs can be barely tamed.

        You cannot domesticate something. Domestication requires hundreds of years of selective breeding and conditioning.

        If so,they’re not really pets, more like captive toys.

        Not true, Fennecs can be somewhat tamed. Domestication is an long and ugly process that takes hundreds and hundreds of generations to be successful.

        Capybaras did went through domestication both historically and currently

        Also not true. Capybaras never went through domestication. It’s just that they’re very docile
