Other pets I'd like except....

Play on the dog breed one!!


I'd like rats... Except I'm just over caged animals at the moment. Same goes for guinea pigs and ferrets. Maybe if I have Kiddies, just to give me an excuse.

Snake... Except my other half would disown me, he hates them LOL!! Not that that would entirely stop me. I have the set up for a baby, as I used to have a corn snake. This may happen in the future if I find a nice place to put a tank where he doesn't have to notice it much

Cat... Except I'm allergic and Fred would kill it with love. And chase it. I'd love a Sphinx cat oh, and other half hates cats. I do actually own a cat, technically, but she lives with my parents, is very old and completely blind

Parrot.. Except just no. Too high maintenance for me. Different kind of maintenance. Can't be bothered, but I like the idea. I'm not really a bird person.


I can see it just being dogs and fish for the most part!!

Well, we have cats, although Sis has her eye on some semi-feral barn kittens our neighbor has, they're really cute but we have five house cats now so... I dunno.
I like hamsters but any rodent would be in grave danger from the dogs and we don't really have room for a cage. I like birds (parakeets), but there's the space issue. I also like chickens - okay, I think they're funny, but I think the dogs would like a snack on the hoof even more.
A donkey is a possibility... hmmmm...

Reptiles of any sort - Snakes, bearded dragon, leopard or crested gecko. The two biggest issues are that I don't have a good place to keep a tank and the temperature in the house fluctuates so much, I know I would have a devil of a time keeping it a good temp. Also with snakes, I like to think I'm OK with watching them eat, but I really have to wonder if I could truly and honestly do it.

Birds, but I know that we are too busy to have birds. Instead, I'll just have some bird feeders and watch the outside birds.

Ferrets except stinky

Rabbits except I'm allergic to hay and they need it in their diet and their pee is rancid

Chinchillas except they fling their poo out of their cage all over the floor

Cats except my dad won't let me (and Violet)

everything, except money. the only pet i have no interest in is birds because raging hormones and biteyness and grievous injury. everything else ill gladly have again, once i have the money to support my zoo habit. i especially miss my rats

Horses, except $$$$$

I have too many already lol. I just came to the conclusion the other day that I just can't have anything else, no time and no money for it. Luckily I still have lots of room in the 40 gal for more hermit crabs, so I can still get new pets as it wouldn't change the workload, just not a new type of pet.


Not sure if I would even be interested in anything else though, reptiles and amphibians ended up not being my thing. Rats would be the only other pet I'd consider, but I certainly don't have time for a pet requiring so much interaction right now. I'm plenty happy with the gerbils, they complete my little zoo.

So much this.



Also gerbils, except I'm not really interested in cage pets right now (maybe when I have kids). I had them for many years and they're fun little things.

Parrots, except I'm kind of afraid of birds and I don't have time for something that needs so much interaction. Oh, and parrots except for owning a gun dog. lol

I've had chinchillas my whole childhood and they've never flung poo or anything out of the cage?? Never heard that before.

I really don't want any caged furry animals. Cleaning the cage is way too much work for an animal you can't interact with like a dog. If Lillian wanted a small pet when she's older, I would get her a guinea pig.

Horses, but way too much maintenance and cost. Perhaps if I lived somewhere with more space and could hire help.

Goats and chickens I hope to own when I own property

I would love to have chickens here. It would be so cool to have fresh eggs and compost building manure for the gardens. But, unfortunately, in order to have chickens in our location...you need 2 acres. We have only a 1/2 acre.

Definitely actively miss my gray pony most days. I MAY get a horse again in the future ..but I don't miss riding so much as my pony so it's a toss up.

Also, I love birds but I'm also horrified by them at the same time. So ..birds if they wouldn't give me the creeps to live with!

I'd have hamsters except their lifespan is just too short. I loved mine but they just don't live long enough.

I'd have chinchillas again if they weren't so messy. There's lots of cage cleaning and mine did fling poo and get dust everywhere. Our male also peed on the wall.

I'd have a cat if I didn't live here where I rented. So I will get a cat when I move.

I'd have a snake if I didn't have to feed dead mice (ewwww)

I also love the look of birds and some of the parrots are neat but I'm mildly afraid of birds, haha. And they are so noisy/poopy.

That's a bummer . Is there any chance that will change in the future? Even just to allow a few hens?

I'd have parrots except for the work involved.

Rats possibly except for the small fact they are illegal pets here.

I want chickens too! We need to have 10 acres here, and I only own 9.3 or something. I have seen chickens around, and almost nobody owns 10 acres (it's too suburban for that) so I think you can get a variance from the town pretty easily, but I'd have to not be lazy and figure out how that works.

A friend who breeds various exotics is trying to sell sugar gliders on me, saying they are very like rats in personality but have a 13-15 year lifespan

Probably not...we're fairly urban. It's okay...I can live vicariously through my friends with them. LOL

My two did lol! They would literally pick it up and throw it out. I swept my floor 3-4 times a day. Thank God I didn't have carpet like I do now. If they don't all do it, then maybe I could adopt one that doesnt have the habit! Haha!

Thankfully mine didn't pee on the wall!

They're so cute though, I really do miss owning chinchies.

They're passing a law for urban chickens here. I want some, but I know what will happen. I'll get them planning on eating their eggs and then once they stop laying eggs eating the meat. Then I will name the chickens. And when the chickens stop laying eggs I will not be able to eat the chickens because the chickens will become beloved pets.
Also Auggie will try to eat them.
No chickens.

I like cats but I'm allergic. And I don't like them enough to put up with burning eyes and itchy skin.

I would have all the pets except I own a husband instead. Sometimes I really want a cat.
