But they need fresh water to drink, rats and mice to eat and some place to coil themselves or hide, like branches of trees or some chips. When they shed their skin they should be gently bathed in warm water to help them.

Horses also make good pets. They should be groomed properly not only for them to look neat and clean but also to forge a bond between the master and the animal.
