Sure thing! Here are five different responses:

**Hamsters**: They're super cute and fun to watch. Plus, they don’t need a ton of space, so they’re perfect for kids. Just make sure to teach them how to handle them gently!

**Guinea Pigs**: These little guys are super friendly and love to be held. They also make adorable sounds and are pretty social, which is great for kids who want a furry friend.

**Rabbits**: They can be really sweet and love to hop around. Just keep in mind they need a bit more space to roam and some time outside their cage to play.

**Fish**: Not a cuddly pet, but they’re low-maintenance and can be really calming to watch. Plus, kids can help with feeding and cleaning the tank, which teaches responsibility!
