Mom told me never to talk to strangers, and you're pretty strange.

Ferrets make good pets...very inquisitive and playful. They do tend to be thieves though. If they see something they want, they will take it and hide it. They also can be litterbox trained, but they do poop a lot, so there is some work involed to them. Also, if they get scared they will put off a musk that doesn't really smell good. There musk gland can be removed, but even then they still can put off a scent. But all in all they are good pets, and fun to watch, because they are always busy.

Do you have any pics from when you had it?
Well you won't believe me..He flew into me while I was having Staff practice and knocked himself out. (He was a baby) So I took him inside and took care of him..He must have liked me cause he never left. Even when I went outside with him he would fly and eat then come back.

He slept on a rod that I put in the corner of my room and draped some black fabric around the corner and top to block the light.

He (Batty) lived for 3 years. He was a Carolina brown bat about the size of your hand.

I don't have any pics of batty ( I was only 13 then)

Good thing about having a bat as a pet...No bugs in the house, he ate them all..That is the real reason my folks let me keep him.

I miss Batty..He was a good friend.

I've had quite a few hamsters growing up, and currently have a dwarf hamster named Sonny as well as a degu named Taco. I managed to find a picture of my last hamster, Pookie (who believed himself to be very macho, despite his fluffy cuteness). He was quite affectionate, but not the brightest little guy.

Growing up I've had hamsters and guinea pigs. My sisters hamster would manage to get out and come crawl in my room to bite my toes at night and then go back to its cage. That irked me but then my guinea pig would bite anybody but me who didn't belong in her cage soo. Fair play I guess. Hamsters may not be the most loveable but they are fun to watch and I think guinea pigs are loveable but I have to agree with Envy, they don't have long lives.

If you have to clean your aquarium every week you're doing something wrong. I've managed to set up 2 aquariums and not have to do that they will be crystal clear. Now where I'm at now I think having it in the corner with no actual light and getting the brunt of the AC could have affected mine this time around and I don't have it up anymore until I can rearrange my furniture when I actually buy some new stuff because I can't move this sectional now as there is no room.

I think cats are the most affectionate though. My little Inky would stick to me like glue and I loved it.

I used to have various rats as pets in young age. Also when I was 15, I had a guinea pig. I like rodents and I would like a new guinea pig.

I had two hamsters. Originally I bought them for my experimental psych coursework. After the project I didn't know what else to do with them so I kept them as pets. Then one day I had to go on a vacation and left them with a friend. When I came back they were dead. :/

That's too bad ysabel. Had that happen to me a few times too. Went out of town for a few days and put several water bottles in there and plenty of food and was only gone for a few days but when I came back I saw that they had somehow knocked over the water bottles and couldn't drink. Like 3 of them died. The others ate them.

I may end up weighing 500lbs but I'll still find a way to pull it off sexily at the nudist colony. ~ysabel

My friend was a bit stupid. She let out the hamsters without supervision. Her parents have those sticky paper traps on their floors. My hamsters got caught in those.
