Taking care of an online virtual pet is much like taking care of a real pet. You must interact with the pet, or it becomes lonely. Virtual pets must be fed every day or they get weak and sick. Sick virtual pets must be taken to the "vet" and given special care so they can get better. Overall, taking care of a virtual pet could be considered good training for a young person getting a real pet. The only difference is that a virtual pet shouldn't cost you any money, while a real pet can be very cost prohibitive, especially if a child is not ready to take care of a pet.LikeToKnow: Online Virtual Pet eHow: How to Find a Free Online Virtual Pet
