There's nothing that tugs more at the heartstrings as when your pet decides to come in for a snuggle. Having a cuddle session with your pet can be a very soothing and special experience for your furry friend and yourself. While you may think cuddly pets are limited to cats or dogs, that couldn't be further from the truth! If you live somewhere that prohibits larger pets (or you'd simply prefer the ease of caring for a smaller pet), you certainly don't have to forego cuddling with your adorable companion. Though you may associate "small pets" with traditionally uncuddly animals, like fish, frogs, and lizards, there are lots of smaller pets that are plenty affectionate and soft enough to snuggle with. When you need a little extra tender loving care, these are the best small cuddly pets that will be right by your side ready to cuddle away!
