I have many years of experience taking care of many different kinds of animals. We love animals in this house and would own them all if we could. Throughout the years I have taken care of dogs, cats, mice, rabbits, chickens, reptiles and cows. We have a big yard for animals to roam around in and a lot of space inside our home as well. We do have adjustable size kennels if that is your animals preference but we dont require they be inside of a kennel, some are just more comfortable that way. Our child is 4 years old and loves to play with animals, understands that we have to be gentle and that some animals dont want to be played with at all.
