Nowadays, many people breed pets in their house. Types of pets vary from a common type like goldfish, dog and cat to extraordinary ones like snake and monkey. I myself bred various species of pets like goldfish, turtles, chickens, lovebirds and guinea-pig ever since my childhood. As some of you might as well want to breed a pet like I do, I would like to inform you of how to properly breed a pet in your house. The three stages that you have to go through to adapt a pet properly is collecting information, preparing for adoption, and adaptation.
Knowing about what kind of the pet you want to adopt or you will adopt, is very important. Some irresponsible people just bring a pet to their house and later abandon them as they noticed that the pets were not the ones they wanted or taking care of them was a very bothersome job. If you do not want to become one of those "irresponsible" people, first, look up for the information of the pet you want to adopt. The information includes the experience of the pet breeders and other encyclopedia information of the animal's habitat or characteristic. Also, look up for the possible expenditure for breeding the pet. After knowing more about them, think of your characteristics, schedules and financial status. Ask yourself whether you are a capable enough person that can handle pet poops and have the pet cleaned regularly. Ask yourself whether you are thinking of this matter seriously or not. Adopting and breeding a pet requires more patience than having a housemate. Think of your economic status since pets, as well as human, eat regularly and sometimes get sick. When you think you really want the pet and have enough money to take care of one, prepare for the real adoption.
For adoption, you can simply go to a pet store and adopt the pet you want. Or, you can surf through internet blogs and cafes and adopt one from pet breeders. Maybe, you can adopt one form your acquaintances. There are various routes for adoption. However, do not bring the pet right away to your place. You have to first, clean your place, and buy the essential things needed for the pet. Cleaning before adoption is important. You can let the pet to get used to your place easily by getting rid of some things that pet does not like or dangerous to the pet. Essential things for pet are the pet's house and its food. Pet food is needed to feed the pet. Pet house is needed because you cannot let the pet to roam around everywhere and have your bed as its house. It is the meaning of restricting its area of activity and giving part of your house as its private space. When this is all ready, adopt a pet from pet shops or other pet breeders. Before bring them home, make sure to visit a veterinarian and get a medical checkup.
After bringing the pet to your house, everything complicated seems to have ended. Actually, it's not. The most complicated part of this whole adoption is adaption of the pet and the owner. Many animals are very sensitive to their habitat. It can also be applied to human. For example, many of you will feel interrupted and uncomfortable with your brothers, sisters, or any family members bursting into your room all of a sudden. Pets, when adopted, lose their original habitat and feel very uncomfortable with it. When a pet is brought to your house, it will be nervous and sometimes panic with the fact of being in an unfamiliar place. It is important for you, who became pet owners, to help the pet to get used to you and the new habitat. Stay in your pet's sight as much as possible and slowly let them get used to you. When this stage is not properly over, some pets may have to be sent back to their original place.
Breeding a pet is not easy. Before adopting a pet, reconsider the decision over and over since there are various things you have to consider like money and the amount of time that you will spend together. Pets are not just animals that decorate your prosaic house; they are part of your life like your family, regardless of species.
I think adding a few personal experiences, such as, some of the difficulties that you endured or some tips that you learned while you were raising pets, would also be a good idea. Interesting essay!
