Pet rental in Japan is booming. The number of companies dedicated to renting out pets in Tokyo alone has risen from 17 in 2000 to 134 today. Why pet rental? Because a shortage of space and apartment regulations banning animals are filling the demand for part-time pets. From dogs, cats and rabbits to birds, ferrets and turtles, an eclectic array of domestic animals are currently available to rent in Japan for periods ranging one hour to a week. The ten most popular rental animals in Japan (price for a day):
Dog, $45
Cat, $45
Hamster, $9
Rabbit, $18
Ferret, $27
Turtle, $9
Guinea pig, $18
Squirrel, $27
Bird, $9
Squirrel monkey, $900
