{{Missing-info|[[The Sims 2: Apartment Pets]]}}
'''Small pets''' are pets that live in [[aquarium]]s or cages and can be taken out briefly for Sims to play with. They require less attention than [[cat]]s, [[dog]]s, and [[horse]]s{{vgversion|TS3:Pets}}, but have fewer interactions, and are not counted as household members.
==The Sims==
[[Image:
In ''[[The Sims]]'', only one small pet was available, the fish in the '''Poseidon's Adventure Aquarium'''. [[Sim]]s have to feed the fish and clean the tank to ensure they remain healthy.
In ''[[Livin' Large]]'', the guinea pig was introduced. If the cage wasn't cleaned for a long time, and it bit a Sim, the Sim would
Many more small pets were introduced with ''[[The Sims: Unleashed]]''. Sims were able to go to [[Old Town]] and purchase a variety of small pets, including '''iguanas''', '''turtles''', '''goldfish''', and small birds such as '''budgies''' and '''love birds'''. All of them require feeding and cleaning occasionally, but they don't need as much attention as cats and dogs. However, unlike cats and dogs, they can - and ''will'' - eventually die, no matter how carefully they are cared for. '''Parrots''' and '''
==The Sims 2==
===Fish===
As in ''The Sims'', the only small pets available in the base game are fish, bought with the '''[[Aquarium|Aquabox Five-Gallon Aquarium]]'''. The aquarium can be stocked by selecting the "Restock" option. Sims must feed the fish and clean the tank regularly, or they will die. ''[[The Sims 2: Pets]]'' adds another [[Aquarium|fish tank]], which works the same as the base game aquarium.
===Womrats and parrots===
[[File:The-sims-2-pets--20060824011216351 640w-1-.jpg|thumb|A womrat]]
[[File:WomratAndSim.jpg|200px|thumb|A Sim playing with her womrat]]
''The Sims 2: Pets'' adds womrats and parrots. They can be purchased by buying the appropriate cage in [[Buy mode]], and then using the cage's "Restock" option, which can only be done if the cage is empty and clean. Womrats cost §75, while parrots cost §400. The womrat cage is called the '''FMCU 3000''' and the parrot cage is called the '''Tropico Avian Sanctuary'''.
===Small dogs===
''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'' adds the '''Modern Arf Indoor Dog Pen''', which allows Sims to keep a small dog in the pen; the pen costs §525, while the dogs cost §500. This pen doesn't require ''Pets'' to be installed, and the dog behaves like a small pet, using different meshes, textures and animations to regular dogs.
===Butterflies and fireflies===
[[File:Snapshot releasebutterflies.jpg|thumb|right|Releasing butterflies]]
Sims can also keep [[Bug catching|collected butterflies and fireflies]]{{Vgversion|TS2:S}} in a jar. If they are not released, they will eventually die and the jar will have to be cleaned. Neither the [[maid]] nor the [[butler]] will clean it, though.
===Caring for small pets===
When stocking a cage or pen, the player will have a choice of several fur or feather colors, and will be able to name the pet. Sims must feed small pets regularly; feeding a womrat or penned dog costs §10, while feeding a bird costs §20. Womrats and birds will eventually starve if not fed, but a starving penned dog will be taken away by an Animal Control officer before it can die. Small pets that are hungry may bite, and ones that are starving will have "hungry" thought bubble above their heads. It is also important to keep the cage or pen clean, as a dirty cage not only brings down the room's [[Environment]] score, but lowers the small pet's mood, increasing the chances that it will bite. While a womrat is essentially a guinea pig, the [[Illness#Guinea Pig Disease|Guinea Pig Disease]] from ''[[The Sims: Livin' Large]]'' does not exist in ''The Sims 2''.
Sims can play with and watch these small pets, and can carry along the parrot or penned dog. Also, parrots can be taught to talk. Once they've learned to talk, Sims can talk to them to build [[Charisma]] skill. Sims will also build [[Nature]] [[enthusiasm]]{{Vgversion|TS2:FT}} whenever they clean the cage or talk to a bird.
Bird cages can be opened. An open bird cage will eventually let the parrot out and it will fly around the house. Nearby Sims will gain [[fun]] from this. Sims cannot interact with the parrot while it's flying, and it will not escape and cannot be attacked by cats or dogs.
A womrat or bird can be set free, and a penned dog can be given up for adoption.
Small pets are the only pets that [[young adult]]s can keep on [[College (sub-neighborhood)|college]] lots, or that can be kept in vacation homes.

|FMCU 3000
|Womrats sometimes bite, which led to the development of the Fuzzy Mammal Containment Unit. Every unit is comprised of shatter-proof plastics that ensure your household's protection, as well as an exercise wheel to keep the inhabitants of the FMCU otherwise occupied. With the FMCU you can safely own and enjoy a womrat...as long as it is contained.

Sims can keep fish they [[Fishing (The Sims 4)|caught]] as pets in fish bowls or aquariums. Alternatively, there are five types of fish that can be purchased, shown in the table below. Sims have the option of naming their fish, but can't interact with them in any other way.

===Frogs===
Frogs can only be caught in the wild, and cannot be bought unless the player uses the <code>bb.showhiddenobjects</code> cheat. There are 25 kinds of frogs available, with rarer kinds being worth more Simoleons, though all frogs have an [[environment]] score of 3.
Sims can view a frog's terrarium to determine what kind it is, and can breed two frogs together if both are in their inventory. There are no other interactions and, unlike fish, frogs can't be named.
Breeding is done in the inventory when a Sim has at least two frogs. Frogs have two type of genes.
*Dirt, Leaf, Eggplant, Heart, Sunflower
*None, Striped, Spotted, Whirl, Surf
Breeding two frogs will result a new frog with mixed genes. Frogs can only be bred once in a while, as Sims become exhausted from it.
