pocket pets
Small caged animals
Pocket pets are small domesticated animals kept as companions—hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, and the like.
The name suggests creatures small enough to fit in a pocket, though few owners actually carry them that way.
The term distinguishes these animals from cats, dogs, and other larger household pets: The apartment allows pocket pets but not dogs.
