Agreeing with everything in this, except I have found in my experience that reptiles and fish are often abused or neglected more. Most people will acknowledge that a rabbit is capable of suffering, but even a lot of animal enthusiasts don't think the same of reptiles or fish, and they're often considered "starter" animals, too. Reptiles, fish, and rabbits also have the same tendency to not show suffering in a way that we readily understand unless we're knowledgeable and actively looking for signs.

All animals are capable of suffering, and none should be taken as pets, given as pets, or treated lightly. The idea of a "starter pet" is somewhat abhorrent to me because it's often used to justify such neglect. It's never okay, no matter the kind of animal.

Yeah I don’t agree with the idea of starter pets either but unfortunately that’s what a lot of people say, including unscrupulous breeders trying to make a quick buck. There’s this idea only cats dnd dogs are difficult, and something smaller/caged is better for kids, which is just…not true. Try finding a vet in a small town who actually knows what to do with rabbits or reptiles for example.

Yep. This is also true for birds. Avian vets are rare and expensive.
