Like the title said. How much time do you (currently) spend on your pets every day? (Yes, on all of them).
Currently I only have fish, and I would spend up to 30 minutes on them every day when I am not doing the maintenance. Feeding does not take more than 2 minutes daily. So majority of the time I spent is just for watching them. It is said that watching an aquarium can stabilize the mood and blood pressure. I can feel it!
During the weekend, I do 30% water change to all my 4 tanks, which would take me less than one hour for that. Every two months or so, I clean my canister filter within 20 minutes.
There are other occasions where I need to do a little gardening in my aquariums, because 3 of them are planted.
When I had birds during my childhood, I would spend average 1 hour on them daily. Feeding, playing with them, or at least I thought I was playing with them haha.
