Thats a unique list. Between all the members here we can have almost every animal/reptile/rodent etc.. available lol

[NorthernBoy]

you have one of those things??? cool!

[Full3R]

Yeah we caught him, and by caught i mean he was ontop of our shed jumping around so my mother held a cage up to him and he walked into the cage and then there ya go

[NorthernBoy]

WOW. you have a really pet loving family. although i have to ask. do you feel bad keeping him caged or do you let him out and he just always returns?

[kimmers318]

The lorikeet is gorgeous!

And, yes, Hobbs, the hubby is the only pet I don't want anymore!!!!

[Full3R]

well we assume he was someones pet because he is way to tame to be wild and he did escape oneday into a near buy tree but got scared and went back to the cage we waited for a month to see if anyway reported him lost but noone did so we kept him and he is in a square cage and the door on the cage is the same height and width of the cage so if he ever wants to escape when we open it he is free to.

[Lady Hobbs]

Oh my gosh. This parrot is just gorgeous!

[Full3R]

hes a bit of a charactor though he makes every bird noise except the one of his own species and ull see him on his back using his feet to play with his bell that hangs from the cage or see him boucning up and down on the newspaper trying to flatten it out hes cool old made jacko

[Severus]

I want a lorikeet now. lol

[Full3R]

yeah there a cool bird i use to have abreeding pair until someone opened my avary and let them out :(

[Severus]

That sucks. How much do they go for?

[Full3R]

depends at pet shops $100 -$150 but most Aussie backyard breeders will do ya for $50 and up or less even

[crackatinny]

We have 7 shih tzus, and I have just bought the wife a yellow ringnecked parrot for xmas.

And we love every 1 of them as well as our fish

[Lady Hobbs]

LOL Do you breed the shih tzus? Man, it must be a blast around your house. Dogs have more fun than people.

[Abbeys_Mom]

I currently have 1 cat, 1 brown anole, 1 green anole and 1 long tailed grass lizard. I kinda have a monkey, but she's not really a pet, she's my daughter. lol.

[Lindsay_D]

I know what you mean by monkey's. My little brother is 3 and his nickname is "Monkey"...How old is your daughter by chance?

[Incredulous_Ed]

I have a chinese box turtle named leonardo. He has to live outside.

She's 28 months on the 10th.

I will be adopting a retired racing greyhound. Poor guy was badly abused, but he will have a very happy home with me. Lots of couch cuddling and pampering. He's very shy, but he will learn that he can trust me.

Isn't he beautiful? I can take him home in about 5 weeks.

[Abbeys_Mom]

That's great. I had a friend in England who took in grey hounds, they make great companions.

[jeffs99dime]

i have two cats. one long and one short haired. they're brothers from the same madre.

Not intentionaly, we had 1 purebreed and it used to love visiting my sisters purebreed, we soon found out why. After selling 1 of the pups it broke our hearts, so the rest got to stay, and yes it is a blast, each has its very own personality, 1 in perticula was born at just 9 grams, after rushing it to the vet and spending $70 on formula, its mother only let us give it to her once, then somehow its mother nursed it to full health (after the vet saying it would die), then on an icey winter morning, about 2 months later we woke to a horrile screaming noise, somehow it had crawled into its mothers water bowl (icey water), well I grabbed it and run straight into bed and the electric blanket. She is about 2 now, and whenever I sit in my TV chair she is straight on my lap, I have a rather long beard, she snuggles into it and just stares up at me, she will sit like that as long as I sit there

[Abbeys_Mom]

It funny how a rough start to life make a pet more precious. Our cats had kittens a lot over a 3 year period and there was a whole litter that wasn't breathing when they were born. They were two week early and very small. I had to resuscitate each kitten as they were delivered. We ended up keeping 2 of the 4 kittens and finding homes with relatives for the other 2.

Two Australian Shepherds that are supposed to be outside dogs but spend more time inside that out and a Tabby cat.
