It's a difficult question. When referring to animals, the verb lubić is used, for the most part. I was trying to find a text sample where podobać się is used in this context and the result was, well, horrifying.
You're almost right, but the verb "podobać się" needs a pronoun in Dative, as it works kinda like "small animals are (aesthetically) pleasing (to whom?)". So it needs to be "Podobają mi się małe zwierzęta".
Oh, you actually wrote that, I can now see your report (thanks for reporting); you only missed it in the comment. Usually it's the other way round, users write something correctly in the comment but make some typos in the version they report :D
Anyway, ok, let's add it.
