Pets for your Cubicle/Desk

Working or “living” in your cubicle can be quite lonely sometimes. Just think about all the hours that you sit and work without any human or living creature contact for 8 to 10 hours a day. It is almost enough to drive us insane or make us us have imaginary friends sitting in that small cube with us. Well I think I have a solution to this dilemma. Whether you like Goldfish, Bettas, Hermit Crabs or even those cute small African Dwarf Frogs, there is a solution for you to have that special Cubicle Companion.  I have included 4  items that look very interesting and suitable for anyone’s desk, just click on the photo and it will “Direct Link” straight to the website where it can be bought online.
I wish I knew about this one when I worked in my cubicle at my last employer. It is to me the ultimate cubicle wall decoration. It is the Wall Mount Fish Bowl Aquarium Tank and is perfect for a Betta. The features are: a 10″ diameter. 1/2 bowl made of Acrylic and  easily mounts to a wall or a cubicle wall. It has an open top for easy cleaning. Holds approximately 1 gallon of water. Does well for the employee that want to keep their desk clear and clean and yet still offers another breathing creature in your “cube” with you.
This habitat is for the lover in animals that are not aquatic. It is the infamous all child pet, the Hermit Crab. The easiest way to have one or two at your desk is to purchase Lee's Hermit Crab Hideaway. This is an all in one kit and features the following sea sponge, plastic plant, gravel, hermit hut, reversible background, and a hermit crab food sample. It is constructed of plastic and has great ventilation or your cubicle pal to breathe.

This is one of the high tech item’s that every desk geek wishes they had.  It is the USB Powered Small Desktop Aquarium. It features a fully functional small desktop aquarium with running water that is powered by the USB port in your computer. It comes with an adjustable overhead light, multicolor interior lights and it even comes with a low voltage working pump and an under gravel filtration system. The small aquarium doubles as a desktop organizer/pen holder. Built right into the USB aquarium is a multi-featured digital LCD information system that displays the time/date and week/temperature that also features an alarm clock with snooze and a countdown timer. It also emits pleasing nature sounds to further compliment this desk organizer/aquarium. Perfect for a Betta or couple of Neon fish. I have to admit that this is something I would buy. I love this.

Last but not least, this is a Classic African Dwarf Frog EcoAquarium. This is something my daughter had in her classroom at school. I thought it would be great for a desk at work as well. In fact, I will probably get one of these when I start work again. They are no mess and have special rocks for filtration. It features and includes the following: 4"x4" tank with 2 Frogs, Lucky Bamboo Plant, Decorative rock, Living Gravel, care guide and your choice of Colored Gravel (9 different colors including some that are Neon colored). Besides you get that special feeling on the inside that you are helping the environment.
I hope this has helped to answer some questions on what type of pet to have in your cubicle or at your desk. Just remember that you don't have to alone in that dull grey cubicle.

This is my small “cubed” space in the giant blogosphere. Here I can write my rants, raves and musings on Office Life, Ecology, Sports, Diabetes and Trekkie subjects. I have been asked – what is my Cubicle? Well, a cubicle can be defined as your workplace, your laptop, your home office, your car, on the bus, on the transit train, your personal space at home and even your Wi-Fi space at your local Starbucks or Borders Bookstore. To me, my “cubicle” is where I can be me without any outside interference.
