Recommend me a pet....

[outlaw biker]

Trying to think of ideas for a pet that will fit in with my work life. I saw an article recently about Sugar Gliders - flying squirrels, which seem ideal cute furry creatures, but I can't find anyone with a good word to say about them as pets. Nearly aquired a tortoise a couple of months ago too. Cats are out of the question as I have a dog most weekends....and caged birds are also out of the question as I don't agree with it. Any other suggestions? I can immediately rule out Gerbils, Snakes, Spiders, Hamsters...

House rabbit. Lovely creatures, very clean, can hold their own with dogs and are great company.

We have a tortoise. He is quite cute to look at but that is about it. You need to feed them fresh vegetables every day, spend a fortune on leccy because they need a heat lamp on all day and their piss is particularly rancid and stinks the house out.

Why have you ruled out a hampster? Of all the pets we have ever had i would say it is the best. Cheap to buy and run, doesnt stink so long as you clean them out once every month or two and are great fun hold and pet. Plus when they die you can replace them and you wouldnt tell the difference.

My ideal pet would be a dog but far too lazy to walk it and pay its bills. Thats why i like other people having dogs!

+1
You can also train them to poop in a litter tray

Fear not, the Ack Ack guns will get them ----->

I think there are some strict new laws on the sale of Tortoises aren't there? Quite like the idea of Terrapins.

House Rabbit - I wouldn't rule that out. Sounds good

Hamsters - ruled out because I just don't like them particularly, too rat like. Ex had a pet rat. Too ex like

House rabbit or a great big f**** off guinae pig! They are pretty cool!


If that fails get a midget and a star wars ewok costume

I can see the sales of Guinae Pigs going through the roof - theres a new animated film out next year.

A turtle.

You don't have to worry about it getting away.

I'm really tempted by a House Rabbit, but I fear it may become a snack for my Weimaraner.

Get a cat. Specifically a Tonkinese, i love mine, shes the best cat i've had by a long way.

Fish? Chipmunk? Hamster? Lizard? Goat?

I don't think my dog would tolerate a cat. She seems to have become very anti-cat recently.

I would LOVE a Chipmunk as a pet!!! Do they make good pets? Are they available as pets?

Any cat will make the dog it's bh. But i know what you mean about wiemeraners (sp?). Infact, my cat and your dog would be the same colour.

Matching pets? How cool would that be

The cat is an idiotic idea. How about an ant? Would help carry the shopping home. Great personality. Light.

What about another dog?
