Why a Hippopotamus is a Bad House Pet!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a hippopotamus as a house pet? Well, first of all you can’t cuddle with them at all, like you can with a cat or a dog. Hippos take you a lot of space and they smell really bad. But on the other hand they are really quiet and they don’t need a lot of attention. If you were to have a hippopotamus …

…a very long handle! But to sum it all up, don’t get a hippopotamus as a pet. They are dirty, smelly and they take up too much space. You would have to always have extra grass, and a very big back yard. So if you are planning on getting a house pet I would suggest a dog or cat you can cuddle with them and the don’t take up your whole back yard!
