It depends on what you think your child can handle, though most eight-year-olds are already quite capable of larger tasks such as taking care of a cat or a small/medium sized dog. A lot of families choose a hamster as a child's first pet so that they will learn responsibility before bringing a larger animal into the house. It's best to ask your child what kind of pet they would like, though.
