Hamster? If you end up getting a hamster and want one for each kid, just
make sure you have them in separate cages or else they will eat one
another.

Hamsters are very cute, but they bite and don't particularly like to be
handled. If a cat is out of the question, I recommend a rat (smart, cute,
fun, personable, clean) or a guinea pig (not-so-smart, cute, also loves
attention, but messy).

I'll state right off that I am not a pet lover. But, my kids are
now pre-teens and still desparately want a pet. We were at first
thinking about fish, but they aren't particularly cuddly. It is
also complicated by the fact that dogs and cats make me sneeze.
So what might be a good first time pet for kids in the tens but
not yet teens?
