Anyone with non-cat/dog pets? Post pics!

This is Cherry, whom I rescued from the track. She is a 4 year old thoroughbred and has the sweetest nature of any creature on this planet. Anyone with non-cat/dog pets?

(disclaimer: I LOVE cats and dogs; I have several of each. Just thought other pets sometimes don't get the same publicity here!)

1. We have a few besides our two dogs.

We also have a rabbit, two snakes, two gerbils and a tankful of fish. No pictures though.

2. what kind of rabbit?

I used to have an Angora and WHAT upkeep!

3. My sister has a Turtle

A red eared slider called Mr. T. Honestly we had no idea that Mr. T was that guy with all the gold jewelry. She named him Twinklestar and then we realized he was a boy and needed a more masculine name; Mr. Twinklestar!
This isn't him but close enough

4. I had turtles when I was a kid

He is so cute.

10. sugar gliders may be some of the most compact

cuteness per square inch on the planet.

11. Aren't sugar gliders kinda bad-tempered?

The only time I've seen one was in the pet store. They had one in a nice big cage that was ready to rumble with anyone who passed by.

12. Nope!

But if treated poorly (like any other animal) they can be quick to fight the humans! If they have been treated well by humans and trust them - they are the sweetest little things ever!

I don't spend as much time with mine as I'd like - since they are waking up when I am going to bed...but even without getting handled much at all they are sweet - just more wary and skittish.

If you spend a lot of time with them they become VERY attached... and can/will die of loneliness if dumped/abandoned.

Worst thing about the suggies? They are STANKY!

21. I had a ferret and a rat once

Ravi Stinkar and Elsa, respectivly. WONDERFUL pets! I had Ravi in high school and college. He was so popular in college that he officially became a fraternaty brother in Alpha Phi Alpha!. Elsa I had during childhood. She was so bright and easy to train-didn't smell much either. I highly recommend getting a child a pet rat over a gerbil or hamster; they may lack a bit on the "cuteness" scale, but they are much more durable and companionable.

Those sugar gliders are just lovely! If I didn't have two expert hunters in the house, I would have a pair of them! :-)

7. I'm noticing a turtle/tortoise trend here....

8. Here is our betta

His name is Henry. He lives in the kitchen, and likes to follow us around (within his confines).

9. gorgeous horse!

You're pretty too, but I'm a hetero woman.... ;)

I would love to have horses; I'm not able to do that at this point in my life.

[Runcible Spoon]

13. thanks! I'm very lucky

that my parents live out in the boonies and I have somewhere to keep her. I don't wish for great riches in this life, just enough to be able to support having horses.

14. Look!

It's a fat lazy ferret! :D


This is Festus, and he, like all ferrets (and as another DU ferret owner once pointed out) has 2 speeds:

1.Overdosed on amphetamines,

and

2. Coma



:D

15. awww what a cute pic!

I used to have a ferret. I loved the way she would climb up my sweatshirt sleeve and onto my shoulders.

20. I wish I knew how to hook up the scanner or use the

digital camera. I have two sweet ferrets named Tetsuo and Akira. They are both males; Tetsuo is a sable and Akira is white.
