Do you have pets besides cats, dogs, birds, and fish?

[Bertha Venation]

Lizards, snakes, salamanders, frogs, turtles, geckos, etc?

Hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, mice, rats, etc?

Ferrets?

What did I forget?

22. we're a foster ferret family

inevitably, ferrets get kicked out of reasonable, rational households where the parents are in charge. They end up at my house. We've had four foster ferrets. One white one with demon red eyes. (that was the smartest one...which is damning with faint praise). But they are very comical creatures, very animated...like having Disney characters living in your house.

4. roaches, crickets, flies, spiders, gnats, mosquitos, ticks, fleas,...

and one warthog

5. cats, bird, and turtle

I used to own frogs, fish, hedgehog, hamsters, and I can't remember what else. Moving is very stressful on those types of pets, something I do every couple years. Oh, and the occasional "pet insect".

6. Other than the horses and chickens

we have a couple of 2 week old whitetail deer, 13 raccons and 6 baby woodchucks. Ok, they're not supposed to be called pets as they are rehab orphans that will be released when they can make it on their own.

13. oh oh oh ontheMark

just a friendly word of warning - i get to fight for every erg of energy each day thanks to the lyme i got from white-tailed deer (lots of unprotected hiking in the mountains). please don't forget the DEET to protect from the ticks. they're tiny, unlike other ticks, and you'll never even know you've got one.

8. Full Grown Tiger

I think he looks cute! :)

[silverlib]

10. A rat named Stinky...

He's in addition to the two cats and two dogs. He is absolutely wonderful! He's five years old now, old for a rat.

[Liberal Classic]

11. Spiders!

I'm not a spider nut but there's a whole subculture who love spiders. Spider Appreciation Societies, the whole works. :)

[non sociopath skin]

12. Three bunnies...

T-Bone, a sooty fawn, Noir (guess what colour) and Harmony, an excedingly beautiful harlequin semi-lop (one ear up-the other down)

Plus the obligatory five cats.

The Skin

14. A Bun.......

Baylee the Bun...... he's a grey mini rex "Velveteen" bun.....has the most amazingly soft fur. He says "hello".... :evilgrin: :hi:

[Angelus]

15. A woodtick and three ants.

:silly:

[Teddy_Salad]

16. I have a pet Wildebeest

Wilhelmina.

[SOteric]

17. I have a pet mold in my bathroom.

Eradication efforts proved futile, so I gave him a name and made a pet out of him. I call him Ira. It's a good idea if small children and domesticated animals don't go near him. He likes lavendar scented soap.

18. I kind of had 3 baby sparrows as pets

MommaBird laid 5 eggs in a nest she made in one of my hanging baskets. Two of the eggs broke and three hatched. I had to learn to water around the nest since it was in the center of the pot. I watered the basket on Wednesday and the three babies had climbed out of the nest and were huddled together next to the rim of the basket. They didn't have full feathers then but you could see where the feathers were coming in.

I took the basket down this morning to water and surprised MommaBird as she usually flys away when I open the screen door and didn't this time. No baby birds! Checked the ground below the basket, just in case...no baby birds there either. I'm hoping they made it and are enjoying the birdfood I put out daily.

Now, I'm wondering if MommaBird is working on a second round of babybirds. Will I see new eggs soon?

19. 300 Prairie Dogs!

Give or take around a couple hundred, depending on when the pups come up out of the ground!

Each week we don our "grubbies" and grab the buckets and go out to feed half of a prairie dog town on the edge of our city. Yeah, they *are* wild prairie dogs, but they're OUR wild prairie dogs!

There's Cheeky and Chips, Rocky, Mr. Benchley, Woody, Chopper, Miz Thang, Hyacinth, Dale Gribble, Mongo, Whoops, Chatter, Twig, Sweetpea, Pixie and Dixie, Frank ....

Well, there's a bunch of them! :)

20. Do the ones outside count?

I feed the squirrels and chipmunks that come up on my deck. You get kind of used to the "regulars" that are there every day. Feed the finches and hummingbirds too. I mostly keep the feeders out because the cats love to sit by the window a dream of the day they can actually catch one of them. It will never happen, but they don't know that.

21. My 4.5 pound poodle is more than enough...

She can get very possessive.
