Aww its lovely to see all the pics of the animals. I will do some of mine at some point.
I have 2 dogs, a staffy/boxer x who's 15 now and a border collie who's 13. I have a bearded dragon and a hamster. I also have a black and white cat who gave birth to 4 kittens 9 weeks ago nearly, one of which went to my bro last week.
i gt 3x dogs. 1 Blue heeler 6yrz, Japanese akita 10yrz, Bull mastif 3yrz. 1x Cat bout 5-6yrz. 2x Thoroughbred horses 13yrz & 9yrz
I have two cats whom I adore. We just celebrated the third birthday of one of them last week! π And then I have several fancy goldfish in many very large tanks. Goldfish keeping is a major hobby/obsession of mine. My sister has a cat that I consider a "nephew" of sorts, and my parents have a min pin that I grew up with, so he's sort of mine too.
wowww 5 what a trooper!! poh do what I did, after my mum said nooo to a rat I went and got a mouse haha! wish i did my research a bit better though, cos boy mouse wee STINKS! seriously its horrible, but boy rattie wee isnt that bad, just smells ratty - weird! and i wish I got him a friend. I would never get rats/animals on their own now. its just sad when all their siblings pass on though and you have one left, we went through that π
Cosmic, the old rat we have, had 3 friends, all around the same age but they all died almost 2 years ago. He's actually improved since being on his own! He seems to be the loner type but he loves human company. Although we're not picking him up because of his fragile state he still drags himself to the side of the cage for a cuddle every time we open the door to feed him. He gets a tickle on the ears and is visibly peeved when we close the door afterwards - he spits at us lol!
I have 3 cats, 1 tortoise shell, a ginger and a white one.
Plus some fish in a tank.

haha awww!! yeah i think when they older they do just prefer to be on their own in their cages. when our lady lola was getting old (she had a few tumors too that were inoperable) she prefered to be on her own and to just be held while we were sat on the sofa. she was my little plump princess!!
1 x little black cat called spooky mulder π

My last lot were the same, there were four of them but three died at what is considered a reasonable age for rats, and Fatty Dean Winchester just carried on living for years afterwards. He lived til he was 6, and he seemed okay without his brothers, mainly because he was FAT and it meant he got all the food and attention to himself π
I've acquired two budgies this week, Bod and Barley Mo. They've been evicted from my brother's girlfriend's house and I am the known go-to if an animal requires a new home!
Poor little Cosmic, he's not fat at all! I wish he was. He's so skinny and frail I'm terrified of touching him, he looks like he might snap if I try. I tickle his head and his ears but it's not a good idea to pick him up any more.
WARNING: creepy and freaky thing coming up. ;D
Ok all, I'd like to introduce you to my boy... Hector! We bought him today on the way home from clothes shopping. He has a girlfriend too but she's my daughter's baby and hasn't got a name yet.
He's a Madagascan Hissing Cockroach. And he's fast! I had trouble getting a picture of him coz he was running all over my arm. I couldn't get a picture of his markings which was a shame because he's actually very pretty. The female is just brown, striped but brown. Hector's got white flashes in between the plates of his exoskeleton. Sorry if anyone's grossed out but we love him. π

So fricking cute!! I'm known as the bug lady amongst my friends as I love insects and always say how adorable they are haha.
It's good to see a couple of other reptile keepers ^_^ So here is why I call myself Miss-Reptilian on xbox and online haha...
I have:
A puppy named Buffy.
2 ferrets called Cody and Rocky.
A Syrian hamster called Pixel.
2 Roborovski hamsters called Yuna and Rikku.
A Bearded Dragon called Neo.
2 Crested Geckos called Rufio and Ink.
2 Dwarf Sand Geckos called Jetsam and Flounder - there used to be 4 π
A Chinese Cave Gecko called Beetlejuice.
A Nosy Be Panther Chameleon called Sully.
And a baby Corn snake called Malakai.
Here's some pictures of my lot atm (I'll be getting more for sure haha).
Sleepy Neo!
Not a great photo of the newest addition Ink.
A grumpy Sully!
Oooh, Matty! When I was younger, the local zoo brought in some bugs! We got to hold a tarantula, but still in the box, obviously.
And we also got to hold some cockroaches! Not entirely sure what their species were actually called, though. I was looving the roaches. I was the only girl who did, too. xD I had it crawl all up my arm, on my face and everything. It tickled so bad.
I'm beginning to miss my old mice, Pinky and Perky. π My parents bought me them cheap, since otherwise they'dbe bought to feed to snakes, and we kept them in an old cage we had for when I had rats. I found Perky dead on my floor when I woke up one morning. I have no idea how she got out of the cage at all, or how she died. :/
Then Perky had a stroke. I nursed her back to health, but then she had another one. Then another one, and eventually did die, too.
I so miss theemm.
But they make a huge mess. And they make so much noise at night.
Not to mention my parents wouldn't be happy if I just changed my mind, and didn't want them anymore. Dx
11 fishies! π
