man, i want one of those so bad.
also, orang utans are awesome, but im not sure about pets.
I'd love a rat, trying to get one myself. Orangutans are great but you wouldn't be able to get one as a pet, endangered species and all that :P I'm gunna work with those when I finish my degree

Yeah mutts are great, they're kinda like abstract art in dog form. The good thing about them is that they're less likely to pick up the diseases/health problems associated with pure-breds.0 -

Sure he did, for the Rat
I love blue eyed siberian huskies too.
I'd love a pet Kiwi (bird one) they are so cute with their big legs and no wings. I recommend you go to Orana park, they also have them in Christchurch square.0 -

I have 3 cats, 2 dogs and 2 1/2 fish...
The cats and dogs live in my mums and the fish live with me..... not allowed pets
but the reason i say 2 1/2 is, well, one of my fish, brainey, has kinda been floating on the top for a bit, NO NO he is still alive, breathing and moving from time to time, but he seems to be having trouble getting to the bottom... like he has air stuck in him...
Anyways three of my pets are rescued, i'm a vet nurse, and they are the best i will post pics up later!
/me goes off to pet/animals to find out about floating fish!0 -

Have had many pets over the years - dogs of all breeds (mutts included), cats, gerbils, finches, cockateels, fish, etc.
Currently sticking with two small dogs (one westie, one pug cross) and one very spoilt cat. Would love a rake of large dogs but don't have the outside space I'd want for them in our current house, only have a regular back garden, so small dogs it is as they don't tend to wreck things in the same slobbery fashion larger dogs do
Ideal pet though - any simian, from small capuchin monkey (although they are b*stards by all accounts) to orangutan or gorilla (although would require a large ranch methinks for larger animals).
Would also love some lizards, but again, not going to indulge myself, as would be afraid I'd find a sad little tail sticking out of a dog or cat's mouth and a missing lizard poster up in the living room.
An aunt of mine used to have goats, which were funny creatures, until they ate all the washing off the line and you'd have to pull sheets of binbags out of their rears after they ingested the damn things.
I did once write an essay for college about keeping Indiana Jones (not Harrison Ford, mind, but "Indiana Jones")as a pet locked in a cellar for my amusement, so maybe that too.0 -

EWWWWWWW!!! married with kids! married with KIDS! which is how the rat ended up being called 'ratty'. never give naming duties to 6 year olds.I love blue eyed siberian huskies too.
I'd love a pet Kiwi (bird one) they are so cute with their big legs and no wings. I recommend you go to Orana park, they also have them in Christchurch square.
the huskies kinda freak me. it's the eyes. i dont like really bright blue eyes, for some reason. freaky.
but yep, i hadn't even realised there were kiwis in the centre, i just wanted to see the fish. which i did. kiwis got 5mins, sharks got... i dunno, but the OH left over 5 times for smokes while i sat and watched the sharks.
though he got to see a kiwi for the first time since he was about 5, which was pretty cool, all because of my fish addiction.0 -

that's the bit im jealous of.Lil Kitten wrote: »The aquarium was best non proper job I ever had... I got so attached to all the sharks, one called Sue, a smooth hound, used to come up and let me stroke her nose and when I left she'd keep swimming around and bobbing up her nose at where I had been standing.
She died, and her little baby sharks. I'm still fcuked off at the aquarist... I cried.
you know the way some women get all broody and clucky about babies? what's the equivalent of that for women and sharks?
cos i'm that right now. and awww, poor things, that sounds adorable but sad*snerk*
also my first thought...

I'll say no more! Your 'ideal pet' shouldn't necessarily have to be a pedigree puppy! Especially when there are thousands of gorgeous greyhounds rotting in shelters around the country 0 -

I'd love a Harris Hawk or a Kestrel, really really want one since I was little....but wouldn't be able to go on holidays or anything like that cos they're v. fussy animals, take a lot of care. I like my holidays too much
Wanted a "White Fang" when I was younger. Either that or a police dog like "Kats and Dog".....damn tv, I'm surprised I didn't want Skippy too........0 -

You don't need a lot of space for a snake, a snake would be OK in an enclosure that's 2/3 of its total lenght, a 3 foot enclosure is OK for an adult cornsnake.
I'm living in a bedsit and I've got 19 snakes (8 little baby cornsnakes, baby milksnake, 4 adult cornsnakes, baby royal python, californian kingsnake, four young boa constrictors) and three geckos0 -
