What unusual pets do you have?

[schmalex]

We have a 6' long corn snake called Cedric. He's generally a friendly chap, but can get a little nibbly at feeding time.

A few years ago, we bought 6 goslings in May with the express intention of rearing them and eating them for Christmas lunch. They were quite possibly the best tasting fowl I've had the pleasure of eating

We had rats but they smelt really badly, so we sold them off

Over to you...

Cool. I had to google that. They look very cute!

We have a Leopard Gecko called Hugo, does that count? He's a funny little thing and his moods can vary between hissing and threatening me, hiding or running and jumping onto my hand so he can come out and play around on the bed. They go very cat-like when stalking prey like locusts, the tip of the tail starts wriggling in excitement but they pounce with all the grace of a sheep.

For sure, it counts!!!!

They're great creatures! My wife & son always befriend Geckos when we go on holiday!

I have a couple of nuns in the cellar.

Does that count?

Little monsters. I do love them, but sometimes I could squash them.

Also got a massively hairy cat. Called Cat.

One bearded dragon, a very old jack X beagle, a sharpei x mastiff and an alapaha blue blood american bulldog.
Then there's the 19 rescue rescue horses ranging from 6 month foals to 30yrs old.

PS homes wanted for the horses. PM me if interested.

Cornflake the cornsnake!

Chinchilla's, Mike and Barney.

We had a big scare this morning with Mike. He was hanging by his leg from his hammock. A lose thread caught his foot, and tightened as he jumped out of it. He must have been there for hours as he had started to chew his leg to get free!

He's been at the vets most of the day. Nothing broken but he has no control over the leg so may still lose it

[Andy_mr2sc]

That's really crap news. Chinchillas are stunning and very under rated creatures. I hope he pulls through ok.

I have a bearded dragon called Ollie, or Ollieman as I call him for some reason. He likes cuddles, which is not ideal as he's a spiky bugger. I also tell my 2 year old that he's her brother.

Trevor the tortoise

Thanks, its been quite a day for him.

I'm just so glad his leg wasn't broken, the vet really thought it would be. We will know in the next week or so if he will get mobilty back. even then it could take 6 weeks to heal.
