List your pets!

I just love this thread. Thanks Sammy for starting the ball rolling.

Come on FERRET owners. I know you are out there! I really think they are neat. Yesterday saw the youngest ferrets in my life! What sweet babies. Absolutely instantly fell in love. The employee was a sweet young girl. Was very upset they were being sold so young. Was kind of puzzled myself why Management would do that too but after talking for a while, found out that she had a bad experience with her brother's Lion Head and really didn't like rabbits. Told her didn't blame her for disliking bunnies. If you have a bad experience with one type of animal, find another. And she did, Ferrets. So know those babies are in good, knowledgeable hands. They are lucky. Hopefully she can put off any sale until they are at the age they should be. Ferrets, Rabbits, Snakes, Bearded Dragons, Mice are just completely different experience than dogs and cats. You really want to have that experience, they need that interaction with humans to survive.

I've always been a small critter lover. I grew up with larger pets: Cutie Pie the bullmastiff, Nikki the samoyed/wolf hybrid and a large orange tabby named Brat.

Through the years I had hamsters and fish. Boy did my parents regret getting me hooked on fish. That bloomed from one 5 gallon tank to 3 ten gallons and a 55 gallon, plus I got into aquatic frogs, then terrestrial frogs, then salamanders, then lizards and snakes. It was a pet evolution. I loved them all.

I've had mice, rats, hamsters and guinea pigs as an adult. I don't have any now, but from the moment I moved out of my parents home I adopted my first pair of male rats and was hooked. I've had probably 50 rats over the years. They are so short lived and make very interesting colonies.

I had female mice because they can live together (males fight viciously). I had 7 of the wee bubs. They've since passed away, but one struck a special cord in my heart. My little Sparrow. A wee silver, long-haired mousey that was sick when I adopted her and never fully recovered. I have pictures of her on my external harddrive. I'll dig them up today and post one in here of her.

My 2 special rats were Jack and Algernon. I have pictures of them playing with Bailey (my first rabbit). I still have days where I walk the trails near my house, the very same that I walked with them before they died (they made it to almost 3), and I tear up because I miss them so desperately.

Losing them hurts. *HURTS*. But I think it would hurt more to live without them entirely. Or to see them from a distance and wonder what it would be like.

Here's to our pets who are our friends, family and sometimes our everything. :toast:

I'm a huge animal lover, but my pet love is pretty much concentrated on my bun buns. I will never, ever be without a rabbit because I love and adore them so much. We have 6 bunnies (Rory, Phoebe Mae, Ned, Kerensa, Maximus, and Mabel) and one cockatiel named Phoenix. The cockatiel we hand raised from when he was a tiny baby. We have 4 bun buns in heaven, too.

Your bird is gorgeous.
I would love one, but I've never owned one before and usually birds hate me for some reason. Oh well, I'll just enjoy people's pictures.

 

[Samara]

I wish I could have birds too. I would love a pair of homing doves or ringneck doves. My dog Troy has a huge prey drive towards birds. Thankfully though, nothing else. It's very peculiar.

 

[audrinasmommy88]

Thank you. He is a handful. And he is very LOUD!

Good luck trying to get past Bentley,haha. Koda is HIS weasel.

 

[Samara]

Man do I hear that. My dog Troy would go to the ends of the earth for my two mammal-snakes.

Does Koda use a water bottle or a bowl? My Colt digs in water dishes and stands with his paw on water bottles so they drain. GAH!
