Pocket_pet

Pocket pet is a term commonly used to refer to any small mammal kept as a pet. This includes mostly rodents such as hamsters, gerbils, fancy mice, fancy rats, chinchillas, and guinea pigs. However, non-rodent pets such as ferrets, sugar gliders, and rabbits are sometimes categorized as pocket pets. The group is slowly expanding in scope as well, with the recent surge in popularity of the Degu.

The physical ability to fit an animal into one\'s pocket is not necessarily a requirement to call it a pocket pet.
