[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids (9 and 11) have been begging for a pet for years so two years ago, we got them two fish. Well, both fish have now died and I know the next rounds of "can we get a pet?" is coming. I am not opposed to getting more fish but am open to considering other pets as well. Here are the major issues with pets for us:

--DH is allergic to cats and dogs (the saliva, not the hair)
--We go away on the weekends a lot to see my parents so don't want a pet that we can't leave with self-feeders for a few days at a time 
--DH and I are not pet-lovers so not looking for a pet that we will be taking care of after the kids are gone

DH doesn't want anything too smelly (hamster, gerbil, bunny) and I don't like the idea of reptiles. I would consider a frog but not thrilled with having to get crickets to feed them.

DS wants an axolotl but I have heard they are a lot to take care of. I would consider this though as long as we could leave them for a few days.

Any suggestions?
