Important

pets or pets can be an important development of the child in all respects element: physical and emotional. 
Despite all the advantages that may involve having a pet at home we must weigh the risks and know them properly to prevent them. 
Children caring pet learn something fundamental: the importance of love and respect for animals. It is a way of taking responsibility. 
It is a common fact that most little kids ask for an animal at home. If parents agree to that request must do so in an act of responsibility; should explain to the child that is not a toy but a living being that needs care. 
You should choose a pet that suits the way family life and home conditions. The children's preferences in choosing a pet are: dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles and fish. 
Having a pet can be a great opportunity to teach respect for nature and animals to the smallest and also for families to enjoy joint activities of both game and animal care. 
It is common sense that the pet can not be more important than your baby or toddler, but animals (eg dogs) do not. With the attitude of parents and relatives animal must understand that the child is always above him in the family hierarchy; for example, we give the attention first baby and then the animal: hello baby first arrived home, for example. 
Benefits of Pets for Children 
Living with a pet helps to develop a sense of responsibility and understand that others also have needs. It is recommended that the child takes over the small tasks of having a pet: walk, food, food dish washing .... 
Living with a pet from an early age seems to help develop greater self-confidence and relationships with others. They are more sociable and more empathic toward other children. Also the relationship with other living helps develop aspects of non-verbal communication and the ability intuition. 
Also children who live with pets can gain a better understanding of life processes such as birth and death. 
In cases of jealousy by the arrival of a new sibling, the pet may reduce the attacks of jealousy. 
At the immunological level, some studies claim that living with dogs and cats from birth strengthens the immune system and prevents the development of allergies. 
Risks of pets 
With most pets there is always the risk of bites or scratches, so you must train well to animals and educate the child to respect it and do not bother when the animal is eating or sleeping. If you buy a pet should choose a peaceful race, having a suitable temperament to be with children. 
The increased risk of a bite or a scratch is wound infection and the spread of infection. It is very important to the well-vaccinated animal, take it to the vet regularly and, if causes any injury to the child, take him to the pediatrician immediately. 
It is important to keep the animal under optimal hygienic conditions as they may be carriers of fungi (ringworm) and fleas. Do not let the child touch the excrement of animals and you should always wash your hands after touching the animal. 
Families who have allergic or atopic children should avoid fur animals (dogs, cats, horses) and pen (birds) because these children are more prone to be sensitized and become allergic to these animals. 
We should never leave the child alone with the pet. As a final touch the ultimate responsibility for the care of the animal is the parents and not the child.

fishes
Feeding: 

The variety of food available is huge, and this can be very disconcerting when you try to make the best possible choice for your aquarium. Knowing the nutritional requirements of fish is an important factor in health and longevity. Read the labels carefully before buying can not be wrong. The proportions of the various elements vary according to species and their diet. Consult your veterinarian or the owner of the store that sold you the fish to know the specific needs. In most cases, it is interesting (even essential) complete feed for fish and other food sources either at particular times (enable or cause a play) or in moments when fish need supplements. 

Water: 

Clean water is so vital to fish and pure air for us. Fish "breathe" oxygen from the water as we breathe oxygen from the air. And it is essential to have all the oxygen they need. You will be needed for an air pump to ensure that the water contains sufficient oxygen. 

Never use tap water directly. It contains chlorine and chlorine is harmful to fish. You should use products that remove chlorine. Also make sure that the water you put in the aquarium has the same temperature as the water already there. 

Light: 

Your fish need a well-lit environment, but direct daylight is not the best way to provide it. Daylight can encourage the growth of algae, which will make it difficult to keep the aquarium clean. The use of electric lighting means that your fish have the light they need and at the same time, your tank becomes more beautiful.

BIRDS

A time to pay attention to your bird is molting. This is a process in which the plumage is changed to a newer one. This process will be hard for our bird, we must supplement their diet with more fat, protein, vitamins, calcium and carbohydrates. 
Being pet, dates to molt are not determined on the calendar since being in an environment with controlled conditions, not dependent on the weather. 
To help your pet on the move, a trick is to spray with water twice a week to the animal, since moisture encourages them more easily dispose of dead feathers and accelerate this process. 
To care for the spikes and nails, it is best to exercise daily as they themselves engage. If still, you notice that your bird's nails are too long, you can recortárselas carefully to avoid snagging the animal and get hurt. 
In the case of the peaks, when a bird is not necessary to wear, this will increase in size and may even create problems for food. To avoid it, you must place cuttlefish bone or mineral blocks at the place where the animal is normally. 
Another indispensable for most birds are perches element. This is because they are devices that allow you exercise their legs birds. 
It is advisable to place the cage in different sizes and thicknesses of hangers for our pet is not used to a fixed measure of grip. If not possible, we choose not too slim but thick as the legs will overlap and the animal will not make enough power to be exercised. 
We consider the placement of these elements in the animal's cage, as they must not obstruct or hinder their flight. 
Avoid them just above waterers and feeders to keep falling for these depositions. 
If we have several birds avoid them on top of each other to not disturb other animals.

snails 
Feed your pet snail variety of vegetables: lettuce, leaves, garden plants and cabbage are best. Also, be sure to include calcium in the diet of a snail to its shell. Sources of calcium include egg shells, cuttlefish bones or pieces of snail shells. Manage your pet snail carefully. Slide your finger under their bodies to collect them. Always wash your hands before and after touching your pet snail.

So as in the case of fish turtles also require that water has a temperature regulated between 26 and 28 degrees but also must ensure that the environment does not drop below 25 degrees (can be achieved with a lamp to acclimate) than otherwise when they leave the area of ​​land will be too abrupt a change that could eventually affect your health

'On the contrary, you should not bathe rabbits, since they themselves devote much time to her toilet. Even on very hot summer days, if they look pretty overwhelmed, we can refresh the area of the ears and neck. And if it is strictly necessary, for example because they are heavily soiled, we can bathe a rabbit dry. 

The rabbit is an animal that needs exercise, so if we have it in a cage -always considerables- dimensions, we take it out a few hours a day so you can run freely, for example on a terrace or balcony. We will have to set aside or protect everything our rabbit to chew and damage, as well as the damage it causes, it can be very dangerous for the animal.
