Default Penguins-can they be pets?

I find penguines too cute and sweet,the way they walk is very cute.Is any one aware of the fact that they can be kept as pets or not?I am afraid that it is a big affair.

yes they are sweet but it would be quite expensive to keep them as a pet because proving their natural surroundings would be a big deal.

How can we provide natural surroundings to them. Every pet needs it but we provide them artificial environment. I have never heard of penguine as a pet.

It’s possible if you have an ice skating rink at home. You will probably need to buy liquid nitrogen for the maintenance of it. I think penguins only eat fish so at least their food is cheap.

The ae lots of issues which make it difficult to keep a penguine as a pet. Firstly, you would need to be able to feed the birds every day so you couldn't take any more vacations! You can't just put a penguin intokennels!
Secondly, You would need to know a vet who is familiar with them.
