amazing question

soobin: chinchilla. small cute and fluffy, all things soobin loves. definitely not the easiest pet, but he’d be up for the challenge! also idk why but he reminds me of a chinchilla. the perfect blend of cute and attitude
yeonjun: dwarf goat OR saltwater fish. I think he’d have a really fun time with livestock animals tbh? like goats, hogs, mini horses…. however he isn’t the kind of guy to have time to take care of livestock, so that’s where fish come in. fish are surprisingly complicated, but he could totally pay an expert to balance the water, and then he’d get to sit and watch them swim for hours like the kitty he is
beomgyu: ferret. they have similar chaotic energy to parrots and also to beomgyu himself. they're also very cute and can be quite friendly! he might have trouble with the smell though (or ignore it for the sake of having a fuzzy friend)
taehyun: I'm still in honey & wildfire mode so I want to say BUGS BUGS BUGS even though I know irl taehyun does not like bugs...... if he could not be converted into a bug enjoyer, I would see him as a reptile guy. I think he'd greatly enjoy a nice tortoise or a ball python. ball pythons are super chill and also beautiful and large... he'd be the kind of guy to chill with his snake on the couch next to him
kai: chameleon/bearded dragon. I said iguana at first but then I remembered that they’re actually giant and I don’t think he’d know what to do with that 😭 anyway I think he’d also like reptiles, and have a soft spot for strange looking pets in general, so a weird lizard is definitely his vibe. his tank would have the prettiest setup too
