We have dogs and cats, how about a unusual pet photo thread

No, the cowfish is named Moo Moo. I shouldn't have admitted that in public.
And yes, an O.S. Mantis (peacock) - they are superb, can recommend getting one if you can from a good source. In fact, any mantis is a superb addition to a home, they are such clever little things and their eyes are mesmerising.

My boy: 5.5kg of fluff. German lop-eared house rabbit called 'Arfor'. House trained - easy - and doesn't eat cables or wallpaper.
Does he dig holes in the lawn ?Gretchen said:
Since a child I've always had alternative pets and many years ago was a bit of a temporary half way house for others.
These have included: Stick Insects, Giant African Snails, African Land Crabs (I was unfortunate to have these as a child), an Iguana (was an evil tail whipper), several snakes (Western Hognose, Corn and a Californian Milk), a proper French Lop Eared Rabbit (childhood pet, was as big as a dog!), Fancy Rats (Ronnie & Reggie - VERY friendly, would curl up on my lap or shoulder & watch TV), Tarantulas, Leopard Geckos, Chinchillas, but my favourite were the Giant Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches I called Bernard and Bernard, not mine but like these
Are these the ones that allowed people to skip ahead on queues in Alton Towers if they ate one ? It ws a little while back I think that this "promotion" was on.These have included: Stick Insects, Giant African Snails, African Land Crabs (I was unfortunate to have these as a child), an Iguana (was an evil tail whipper), several snakes (Western Hognose, Corn and a Californian Milk), a proper French Lop Eared Rabbit (childhood pet, was as big as a dog!), Fancy Rats (Ronnie & Reggie - VERY friendly, would curl up on my lap or shoulder & watch TV), Tarantulas, Leopard Geckos, Chinchillas, but my favourite were the Giant Madagascan Hissing Cockroaches I called Bernard and Bernard, not mine but like these

How do you get a rabbit housetrained ?
+1YOu can't add one to the phrase "How do you get a rabbit housetrained?"
That is insane. One is a question about domestic animals and the other is half of a basic maths equation. THe two are not interchangable by anyone other than the insane.
Utterly bewildering.
I am most terribly sorry to have offended you (no, I genuinely am). I can't stand text speak and its use in posts, or indeed texts for that matter. We all have our little foibles.

Our two monsters. Dotty and Daisy. Got them just after Christmas. I think we only went in for some dog food. Finished up paying over £130 - New cage, rabbits, food, bedding etc.
They look sweet, they both lop eared dwarfs?Edited by Morningside on Friday 15th January 17:17
They house or outside?

They are 6 months old so not the small sweet bunny type and therefore were overlooked in the shop and meant that we got them cheap
Also they are not dwarfs either, just standard sized rabbits.
They live outside but spent the first 2 nights in the dog cage in the bathroom as it was far too cold for outside, they now live (at the moment) in the outhouse until spring.
Never had rabbits before and did not realise that that actually have a character of their own as I just thought they were thick!
No, I dont mean coming to their name or fetching sticks, but they do have an individuality that, to be honest, I did not expect.

We have two chinchillas, Milly & Yoda. This is one of them - not sure which - they're identical to look at, but have very different personalities so easy to identify together.
I've also got these little lads - Linford & Button, two Western Hermanns born in 2003. They are now both the size of half a grapefruit.
Pebbles left, and Bam Bam, just after the first of his major dentals.
Despite Bams' continual dental problems and many operations, Pebbles died suddenly from a gut stasis. The pair were together from birth, and Bams was distraught - he started attacking us, wouldn't eat, and was even growling! So we had to get another rabbit to keep him company, and this is Wilma, a rather cheeky french lop, and semi-house trained.
I'm surprised I've not seen any Koi pics yet either - I've got about 30 or so fish in a 1500gal pond, along with a colony of frogs!
We also rescued this little fella from someone who had no idea how to look after him, so he was in really bad condition; fur, teeth, nails, diet & temperament.
