Oh, I wouldn't have a sugar glider either. We have a strict "one vagina per being" rule here.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? :yikes:
I would own a:
Dog, obviously! Dogs will always come first, in priorities. I'll only add other animals when I have all the dogs I want.
Betta, obviously! They have individual personalities and can be some of the most gorgeous creatures on earth. I resent comparing them to plants. -_-
Horse, I used to lease horses. I really want a Norwegian Fjord.
Mini Donkey, my dream is to have a herd of Minidonks.
Goat, I love goats... I used to do 4H with goats.
Rabbit, they really remind me of cuddly, tiny horses. They're amazing!
Munchkin Cat, because they're super adorable and friendly. I have no desire to own a "cat like" cat.
Capybara, amazing! But I know I'll never own one.
Tamandua (Anteater), I know an awesome lady who has Anteaters and dresses them in sweaters. They seem so peaceful and awesome. I'm sure I'll never own one but I would love to.
I wouldn't own a:
Pig or cow, gross.
Cat, that acts like a standard cat. I don't care for clawing, biting, scratching up furniture/carpet, and scratching my dogs. And I would have a heart attack if I owned an outside cat. I like friend and family cats fine, but I don't want one.
Birds, getting bitten by a bird HURTS, especially a parrot and I find them unpredictable. Also attract moths and are gross to clean up after.
Reptiles, they just seem like they want to eat you. I can't stand the way reptiles move.
Fish, besides Bettas. I have a giant Goldfish named Enrique (who was tiny when I won him at the fair) and he's so brainless. I love him, but it's annoying to have to give him a huge, filtered tank. I find that most fish are too demanding and/or really stupid and just swim back and fourth.
Rat/mouse/hamster/rodent, they gross me out, even though they're cute and I know they can be good pets. Just not for me.
Guinea Pig, they're way too skittish.
Ferret, I loved our family ferrets, but they were always getting into trouble and they STUNK even though they were descented and got baths all the time. Ewwwy. They're amazingly smart, too smart. One of ours got out the back door, and I chased him all the way to a small hole in the fence and watched him prance around in the neighbor's yard. Just when I was about to go to their door, he came back through the hole and wanted back inside! Little d-bag! Our ferrets also broke into our leopard gecko tank and dismembered them, leaving body parts in little hiding spots around the house. UGH. Entertaining, but annoying, and they are definitely predators.
Hedgehog, yuck. My friend had one and his stomach was sticky!!! Wtf.
Chinchilla/Sugarglider, very very cute.... but too much work and special needs.
