I've had fish before, I am not a fan.
I've owned a dog before when I lived with my parents. I know how to care for animals, that isn't the issue. I definitely want another dog, but now is not the right time for one. Just trying to find something small. I would really like to try ferrets, but she doesn't want them. So I think I have it narrowed down to a bunny, chinchilla, or a guinea pig. I think we are going to go to the pet store and see what breeds of bunnies they have and ask some questions.

it all depends on what kind and size of tank he gets. it is a great hobby, but it can be a lot more maintenance, and you are limited to only a few days vacation, before you need a tank sitter to drop by. if you go this route, i will help you out. what about the fucking skunks? am I chopped liver? |

Thats interesting, from the little I have read the caimans were the prefered crocodilian since they stay small compared to an american gator. I saw a show a long time ago where a family had a prety much full grown american alligator that just wandered the house and was super tame. Tom |

I don't mean to be ignorant, but isn't the brain size of a gator pea size? Leaving the thing only wanting food? It would seem like if the thing is hungry...Triple would be din din. lol

I used to hate cats until I lived with this chick for about 6 months who had 2 cats..The things grew on me cause they were playful, but they didn't need too much attention and basically maintainence free. The only thing I hated though was every so often the thing would sit on my face in the middle of the night. Flung it against the wall once...

The hedgehogs I had one was very well socialized and only bit me once or twice (thought my finger was food ). The other one was another rescue (one of my mom's friends didn't want her anymore), and yeah, she was a mean little bugger and really didn't like being handled. But I imagine that boils down to that whole socialization thing again.. I would still rather have rats if I were to choose.. they're a lot smarter and that whole lack of spines thing is nice when you want to pet them. ETA: The biting thing I mentioned because while I only got bitten once or twice by either, rat bites leave scars.. my hedgehogs never even broke the skin when they bit me.

did anyone mention sugar gliders? i didn't really read every post through. they're pretty cool...just make sure you do extensive research on them...they tend to imprint on one person...they are nocturnal...the males have a sent gland that you would want removed, if you don't the smell isn't that bad but it also makes them go bald. those are some of the things you will need to know...you'll learn more as you do your research
