Chameleons

Sometimes, they can eat more than a pound, and sometimes very little. 

Alpaca

This will be the favorite pet of your children. Alpacas demand great attention and proper care. A fun fact about them is that they are domesticated earlier than sheep or cattle. They originate from South America and are grown especially for their fiber which is used for making clothes.  There are two kinds of alpaca: Huacaya and Suri. Huacaya is more common because of its fluffy fur, teddy bear appearance, and friendly personality. The Suri breed has longer hair and is moody. There are just 10% of Suri breeds in America. Alpacas have mild personalities, are friendly, and are gentle. However, beware of the occasional leg, back kicks. 

Ashera Cat

Ashera is specific because of their leopard-like spots with some tiger stripes. They require no more attention than a regular cat. They are affectionate, more sociable than a regular domestic cat, and have a huge temperament. Ashera cats are hypo-allergic, meaning they do not cause any kind of allergic reaction. Additionally, they are easier to be trained and take walking on a leash better than normal cats. They are extremely expensive.
