just wondered what pets everyone has. does anyone on here keep animals that some would deem to be odd? i used to keep giant african land snails,and stick insects, which people would tell me was gross and they arent pets. right now i have-

10 year old collie x, called jessie.
4 year old west highland terrier, called maggie.
3 year old cat called dudley.
6 foot fish tank with goldfish.
small fish tank with nerite,horned and apple snails,and 2 male guppies.

As well as my three dogs I have pond fish and a Chinchilla

Awwwwww chins are so adorable sadly im allergic to them that face is so sweet, bet its so soft to stroke too

Aw, I used to have a chinchilla. He'd sit on my shoulder for hours. He had the most vile sexual habits though.

i have an unusual number, but no unusual pets

19 guinea pigs, 9 boars and 10 sows. i did have 11 sows but lost one over christmas.
5 netherland dwarf rabbits, three does & two bucks
a 13 year old collie (possibly X)
a 3 year old collie
2 goldfish in a 2ft tank, one comet, one fantail
and a tank of tropical fish, the same volume as the cold tank, which has golden zebras, rummy nose tetras, black widow tetras and an odd neon tetra and an x-ray tetra. with my lone albino red tailed shark.

my sis has an aviary with 7 budgies, which aslo houses my three chinese painted quail
and we also have a cock budgie in the house who is hand tame called louie

soon to be getting a hamster too, as my last passed away during the holidays too.

1 miniture Jack russel.
1 Norwegian forest cat.
4 Male guineas
2 Female guineas
2 Female rabbits
2 Male rabbits
2 Continental giant rabbits

2 goldfish , 3 fancy goldfish , 1 weather loach and 5 minnows ( 2 died a month ago !

1 royal python (4-5 foot long)
1 hand reared cockatiel (unusual colouring - grey and white)
and 1 spoilt cat.

am hoping to get some fish soon.

i grew up with a wide variety of animals, including- cat, dog, budgies, finches, cockatiels, fish, hamsters (of varying species), rats, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, chipmunks and degus.

I had two jirds from Libya. Hunca Munca and Sebastian. Cute little things who played together until a thunderstorm came and a strawberry came between them. After that no more cute games and two cages.

not unusual just a lot of them lol

have 5 LARGE fish tanks 4 with fish one for water changes
one contains 2 LARGE oscars (see photo) 150 gallons
http://www.flickr.com/photos/9349576@N04/4269562794/

3 tanks 100 gallons
one large cold water tank
2 large tropical tanks, one has larger fish ie Chocolate Cichlids, ghost knife, large angels, plec etc etc
another has all smaller types and meduim that live well together,
the spare tank is also 100 gallon, use it for growing plants and water changes in all the tanks, each tank has fx5 filters and a fluval, so two in each expensive to start but saves lots of work overall,
so no time for other exotic pets lol

We used to have two huge Oscars just like yours and in another big tank we had two equally huge Mozambique Mouth Breeders and when we moved over 200 miles away, we wondered about moving the fish but the couple who bought our house wanted them so we left them and it was easier than moving them. It was sad to leave the Oscars as we had them when they were about two inches in size and they always seemed so 'human' and were tame (as far as fish go)!

Must have been a wrench to leave them
they certainly are unique amongst fish, when we first had them, we thought now would be the time to introduce a large plec' and the pair of them started the sulking lark, laying down on the bottom hiding etc, one of them even got a bit stressed, removed the plec' and like two kids who got their own way they changed instantly, wag their tails when they think they are being fed, they take food from our grandaughters hand, they even sulked when we did water changes, so now we use a pump to put the water in steadily, sorry i'm waffling

Pygmy goats for me!

I have a website about them here - www.henryandjoey.co.uk

Do take a look if you wish! (It's a non-profit venture so it has no adverts)

EDIT: Oops! Duplicate post.

lots of lovely pets. i have no idea what we will do when it comes to selling our house and moving our 150 gallon tank! i couldnt leave my fish but i suppose i could leave the tank and start with a new tank

ive had a mozambique mouth brooder before, he was a stunning big fish, unfortuantely he didnt get along with the 2 lemon fin barbs in the tank so he went for rehoming. one day il have more tanks, and have a big tropical tank for a trio of lemon fins again. i miss those big guys

the pygmy goats are adorable

I had a Chilean Rose tarantula, she was called tanzy

spiders scare me, lol tarantulas are terrifying!

She couldn't be classed as a spidey, to big!! more than a hamster with many legs

3 gorgeous cats

Cold water tank with:
1 chocolate Oranda (his mate died two weeks ago )
1 Weather Loach
1 small Pec (or Plec?)
4 Minnows (one died last year)
My lovely Black Moore (Knobby) died lst year too

Nothing really uncommon, but my elder female tortoiseshell cat, Delilah, is fairly posh

I have a bulldog and whenever I'm out walking him, people often comment that you don't see many around.

I have a Eurasier dog, had him 20 months & not seen another, even our vet had not heard of them, also a hand reared Senegal parrot, some community trops & a silver fox mini-lop rabbit.

we got 3 ferrets, they are fab pets x

did have a staffy but we lost her to cancer in august, looking to get a puppy sometime this year.

I have two crested geckos. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Cal..._Crested_Gecko

A lovely blue & gold Macaw, some other parrots, ducks, geese, chickens, cats, dog, snakes, gecko, skunk, hamster. I think that covers it.

Aww! Me and bf want a Tarantula when we've got our own house. Not sure if we want a Chilean Rose or a Mexican Red Knee. We want to call her Doris

He wants a scorpion too. And a millipede. I want chickens and ducks!

Currently I have:

4 cats - 2 kittens called Luna and Tulip, a kitten slightly older called Maisie and an elderly gentleman aged 17 called Sylvester.
1 dog - Rio, our red setter. She's three in March.
3 rabbits called Joy, Babs and Teddy. They'll be two in April.
1 cocktiel called Jack. He's about 16/17.

That's it lol.

i think so far this is the most odd i would adore a skunk, my friend used to work at a petting zoo/farm thing and they had a skunk there, she was soooo beautiful

loving hearing about who has what pets, keep it up people, some of you should be charging an entrance fee
