Particularly interested in hearing from mice and tarantula owners. I don’t really know what there is to like about those specific pets, and it would be nice to hear it from an owner of those pets.

    My dogs are the best because they’re dogs. 'Nuff said.

    My cat is great because she keeps to herself, and you’ll only even see her if she wants some love. Very low maintenance.

    My chickens are great because… well eggs. That and they go apeshit whenever I bring them worms.

    As a kid I had pretty much every rodent you can think of. Not a ton of mice, but the few I had I found to be very fascinating. They’re incredibly intelligent, and you’ll have fun just trying to figure out ways to prevent their escape (which they will. If you have cats, be aware of that). If you want to be able to handle them though, you need to do it right from the beginning so they get used to it. Otherwise they’re likely to bite. Other than Guinea Pigs and Rabbits, mice are probably the most docile rodents I had. Rats and Hamsters were incredibly aggressive I found.
