Capybaras and plants

I have this horrific inability to keep plants alive. I have killed orchids, which are finicky anyway, spider plants, cacti, air plants. Once I even managed to melt a plastic plant. But for some reason, I had the grand idea to germinate an avocado stone after I made guacamole and its almost 10 inches tall and a year old! It's giving me hope that maybe, just maybe, I can keep a plant alive long enough to bother with a cute planter. Succulents are easy, right?
Well this guy is the cutest succulent planter in the world. It's my favorite animal, the capybara. Since Jon and I have been married, we watch a lot of nature shows. We've learned about many animals. His favorite animal is the pangolin (it's like a real life Pokémon, they're so cool), and mine is an actual ROUS. They get to be about the size of a medium-large dog. It's the largest rodent in the world and since the part of New England I'm in has laws regarding exotic animal ownership, I might have to settle for getting this one and hope I can keep something alive in him.
