What kinds of pets do you have?

[AmberMist]

I have 2 cats and 1 hedgehog (who isn't a member of the rodent family, although you'd think he was to look at his twitchy nose)

My hedgehog used to belong to a co-worker who had one female and one male hedgehog.  Then she had 7 hedgehogs, then 12, and when the original male started paying close attention to his own offspring, I inherited him.  Even if kept in separate habitats, he still managed to do a mission-impossible-style escape and land himself smack dab into the pen full of girl hedgehogs.

I don't think he's as happy living at my house but the girl-hedgehogs seem much relieved.

I have two dogs and three cats right now. The number of pets may vary, sometimes some of them dies, or a new one comes in.When I had female cats or dogs they had babies and in that case the number increased until they were departing to new homes etc.


The one that's eating is called Mora (it's a she)and the last to join the crew.She was found in the street probabbly lost or dropped and I took her. The other one is "Lopez"(it's a he)and he's been living with us since he was a baby.Now he's six years old.Later I'll post pictures of the cats(if I can catch them!!!!!!)

I have chinchillas.  :D

I've got 3 finches (had 4..) One black and white manniquin, two green singers; wonderful little birds to listen to in the morning. We have a canary, and contrary to what the pet store said, it's not a male >.> I think it beeps one in a while to get upset at my finches for being noisy.
I've also got Sascha (my baby) she's border collie crossed with a spitz of some sort, mum thinks it's an american eskimo, we're not too sure. I rescued her from a shelter oh about 3 years ago. didn't even know she was from a shelter I just saw her in the pet store, started playing and the woman asked if we were open for adoptions in our family. My parents lurve me and let me get her We don't really know how old she is though, which is frustrating, the shelter said she was about 3 but she's got too much silver, and the problems of an old dog. (She has a hard time with her hips if it's cold, or too hot, well her joints for that matter) Wonderful temperment though.. when it comes to people. She's a bit dog agressive but she's getting better.

I have 2 dogs, a worm farm (which I DO regard as pets!!!) and a snail... (you may think snails were covered but as a mollusc they weren't... annelids weren't either though many people wouldn't regard a worm farm as many pets :P... I HAVE also had:
guinea pigs
rabbit
mice
rats
birds

crazy crabs


One of my goals in life is to one day have a pet Thorny Devil (moloch horridus)

Cottilion and I have two cats!! Both male and both pedigree cats (Turkish Vans). Boncuk is the blue/greyish one and Ischa the red.

Boncuk is always a bit lazy and wants to "hang" at your lap and Ischa sings beautifully, every morning (or day, or evening for that matter ) we get a lovely serenade He always has much stories to tell I think !

[Arwen Stargazer]

One dog (well, he thinks he's a human being in a fur coat) a beautiful Staffie cross
Two Calico Orandas, my serenity
And my daughter has two insane gerbils which the dog thinks are an amuse bouche at cleaning out time

[avellana]

I have a Turkish Van, too. Now she's a 17 years old lady and I'm so glad that she came to me.

a pair of turtle doves (who tried to be my alarmclock... at 5am... during my vacation... )
an awfull lot of house sparrows (endangered species? not here...)
a few blackbirds
a decreasing amount of Starling
a bunch of Jackdaw (they showed up one summer, and never left...)
an occasional great or blue tit
and a cat who seems to use our backgarden as a toilet...

[Lady Nimue]

Welcome muaddhib, to the Board and our happy little forum.

[steveotter]

Hmm, where to start...

Well, I have two fish tanks:
the 25gal. tank has Neon tetras, One Gourami, and some minnow type fish(Danios)
The 29gal. I tried to create a Biotope of South America it has,
One Angelfish, 8 Rummynose Tetras and 2 bolivion(sp) Rams

2 ferrets Podo and Kodo(And yes they were named with the movie Beastmaster in mind )

One Bassett hound(Bubba, lol)

and also I feed from bird feeders so, I get alot interesting characters(birds) Finches, Chickadees, Carolina Wrens, Downy Woodpeckers, Nuthatches, Tufted Titmice, Various Sparrows and sometimes a pileated Woodpecker. For those who dont know pileated Woodpecker, think Woody Woodpecker.

Hmm, I believe thats about it.

Steve,
You're brilliant! What else should you name a Bassett Hound but Bubba?
I love it! Give him a big hug for me.
