What kinds of pets are third floor apartment friendly? We too have an 1.5 year old girl and would consider a pet when she will old enough to take responsibility for it, like, at 6.We are held back with stuff like cats will fall out a window and disappear. I never had a pet and don’t like them much but for example I have seen some apartment kids having turtles, which look like a boring kind of a pet.
Axolotl’s are very boring. turtles are interesting if the temperature is above ~25c. often swimming around and eating things. Finches are dumb birds but budgies and larger sized birds are quite smart, have plenty of personality.
I don’t think personality is a necessary trait of a pet. All my sons showed interest in animals large and small to some degree but the second oldest (9) developed a deep interest ina all kinds of animals and knows many more animals and there properties (including typical weight and size) than me or his mother. He observes the animals but doesn’t necessariily develop a relationship with them.

I have always found that mice smell.
Stick insects are cool!
Gerbils? Guinea pigs? Mice? Birds? They don’t have personality in the way that dogs or cats do, but might appease a six-year-old.
