Thread: Any exotic pet keepers?

Exactly, they are fantastic pets. Floyd would run to you when you called him, when he went into the vet to get neutered the vet thought it was fantastic that he knew his name! lol

I dont think ill never get more rats but not right now, Floyd was very special.

I have 16 turtles, tarantulas, tree frogs, millipedes & a bearded dragon, I'll post some pictures.....

ooooo duprasi

My boyfriend has finally given in and says I can have one when we move house He says I've been going on for so long now I must really want one . . .

I have a leopard gecko called Eddie Vedder and in a couple of days I'll have beardie, a friend of my sister was bought one and doesn't look after it so they offered it to my parents and I asked if I could have him, apparently hes very overweight I have lots of "normal" pets too, guinea pigs, rabbit, cockatiel, I've cut down over the past year due to feeding a maine coon lol

My dad keeps looooooads of exotics, 2 Iguanas, chameleons, 30ish tarantulas, water dragon, birds of prey and many many more!!

We had a wonderful rat called Fidget, who we all loved, they are fantastic pets but I could never have another one... we reacently got two hamsters, Sam and Carla, they are sooo cute and again super pets, but I hate the idea how short their lives will be, in fact Carla had to have her eye removed two weeks ago! We came back from the Kernow and her eye was enormous, I bathed it in saline until I could get her to the vets; spent a terrible day worrying about her couldn't even tell my daughter that her pet was going in for such major surgery... but Carla is fine now.

We used to have a pygmy goat, two flocks of pedigree chickens, one Dartmoor pony and a lovely rabbit, called Smoky (who died at seven and a half years). But now I only have the eight MCs, one Siamese and two huge, very ott dogs (a GSD and his son a Golden Shepherd)

I used to have rats as well. They were great pets for the kids when they were young. Very very affectionate and personality. I would love another one but I have a Mexican Black King Snake and a Python who would eat it.

In the past I've had shetland ponies, chickens, various moggys, dogs, african snails, cockertiels, various fish and the best guard dogs ever - a pair of geese.

I am not pet mad, much.

I also used to have rats; at my peak I had 14 when I bred a pair (deliberately!)
Currently I just have my hell-beast and a hamster called Bonsai...

I have decided definitely no more ratties for a long time. They just wouldn't get the attention they needed with the kids, dog and coonie.
I do however now have a Tarantula, Scorpion, some stick insects and some horsehead grasshoppers! All great pets who need minimal attention. lol
