What pets/animals do you currently have?

I currently keep 2 roosters (1 Brahma, a really big rooster and 1 small Brabanter rooster) and 11 chickens, divided over five different pens of different sizes.

I have kept several breeds of chickens over the last ten years or so, and while I have single individuals of three breeds (including the Brahma rooster), a large part of chicken 'collection' also consists of simple hybrid chickens that I keep mostly for the eggs.

The 'pride' of my collection and my only (future) breeding group consists of four individuals, a rooster and three hens, of the Brabanter breed - a fairly rare, ancient breed from the Dutch/Belgian region of Brabant. I acquired my Brabanter group only a couple of weeks ago, in late July, from another breeder. The animal I have are still young and not yet fully grown/completely adult. These animals were born in February and March of this year.

Information on the breed here (on Wikipedia of all places):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brabanter

Here's my Brabanters:



The Brabanter being a light and active breed, I keep them in a large pen that is covered with nets (and thus in fact, the pen is an aviary for all intents and purposes).

The picture probably makes the pen looker smaller, I suppose, but the Brabanters are kept in a 8 by 4 meter pen. The height of the fence and the netting is 2 meters. You can see their coop. The bush in the pen is a white currant bush.

I don't currently have (recent) pictures of my four other pens and my other chickens. I have 3 smaller (4 by 4 by 2 meter) pens that are constructed in the same way as the Brabanter pen, and one large open pen without nets behind our outbuildings. I may add pictures of these on a later date.

I also wanted to show my fish tank in this topic. I've got a 120 liter (82 by 36 by 52 centimeters, approximately) fish tank in our living room at the moment. I've had this particular tank for some 7-8 years or so now, and I've had a few set-ups in it already. My current setup is one with Asian fish species. The current set-up was started, planted and filled with fish between October 2014 and February 2015.

This is my fish tank:

I know it might just be a bit low on plants at the moment, but I recently had to remove a lot of the big feathery-leaved plant as it was growing really aggressively compared to the other plants, and was starting to overgrow them.

This tank is inhabited by:
- 8 Harlequin rasboras (Trigonostigma heteromorpha)
- 1 Honey gourami (Trichogaster), male (I had a female too, but she failed to feed well and died after a couple of months)
- 5 Kuhli loaches (Pangio kuhlii)

Here's one of my Kuhli loaches eating from a Droppy (bottom fish feeding tablet). I have five and they actually show themselves quite regularly, despite what I've read or been told, but I can still count the times I've seen all five at once since I released them on one hand.


My honey gourami also likes the feeding tablets. He regularly feeds from them. I've seen even my rasboras nipping at them.

 

1.1 Syrian Hamsters (in separate set ups for obvious reasons)

 

Currently I have 5 dogs:
an elderly miniature longhair dachshund, Pepper
a lab mix, Lacy
a chihuahua/dachshund mix, Beignet
a miniature pinscher, Bijoux
a yellow lab, Ellie

I only have one cat right now, due to the recent death of two others. A fat black cat named Tuesday.

Besides those, my brother has a bearded dragon (Spike) and my sister has some sort of hamster (Lily), but they aren't necessarily "mine". I do take part in their care, though.

We are likely to get one or two more cats soon. I'm also working on getting hermit crabs (mine recently just died) and a leopard gecko. Would love pet rats but my space is kind of limited right now.

 

I have 1 male barking gecko a community fish tank with 3 freshwater yabbies 2 coolie loaches 1 female pleco 2 silver sharks 4 Cardinal tetras 5 neon tetras 1 red tailed shark I also have one children's Python and 2 female cockatiels

 

Why would you name it if you are going to kill it

 

An update! I currently have in age order;

- 1.0.1 Goldfish, Swede and Luna, although one of them looks a little odd, as doing some research she (don't know her sex, we just refer to her as a female) doesn't look anything like a Bristol Shubunkin, despite her being sold to us as one.

- 0.1 Russian Dwarf Hamsters, Fox (I had another female until recently but she died).

- 0.1 Syrian Hamster, Sally (a dark brown and white colour morph; she is my current avatar).

- 1.0 Roborovski Dwarf Hamsters, Sergio.

Annoyingly I don't have the space for any other pets.

 

Don't have, never have had and never likely to have!

Birds:
0.2 Cockateals (Nymphicus Hollandicus)

 

I have several head of purebred cattle that all have registered names, but I wouldn't necessarily call them pets.

 

1 sun conure, 2 years old (hatch day is April 18)
5 caribbean land hermit crabs (purple pinchers)
And 2 fairly normal cats.

Certainly wish I had more, of course. But have not the space nor the financial means to support more. Yet.

 

If I said what I have held, at least temporarily, it would look like a small zoo in itself. Yet currently nothing. Want to get back into softbills, herps, inverts etc when I find somewhere costs sre cheap.

 

My current living situation prevents me from keeping animals unfortunately.... I have a ball python that lives with family for the moment, but hopefully I can expand in the future.

 

I currently have a dog (Stella) she is a mix, her mom is a miniature pinscher/chihuahua and no one knows anything about the dad
I have a male partial pinstripe harlequin crested gecko who i bought from a family who just didn't want it, still considering a name, because they named him "Joey" and I just don't think that's a good name for a gecko, so any suggestions would be great!

 

We do keep:

0,2 juvenile Homo sapiens (those are interesting little critters)
0,2 domestic cats, striped "Lina" and "Kira"
1,1 bearded dragons "Merlin" and "Maja"
2,0 Wagner´s gerbil "Tom" and "Jerry"

We gave away 0,1 Ball python and an Aquarium with different Guppy, Cory, Barbels and breeding bushymouth catfishes last year.

 

My pets consist of
3 Jack Russell's-1 male(Max),2 Females (Molly and Phoebe)
2 Bearded Dragons -Spike (male) and Lily(Female)
1 Royal Python-Bali-Female (Classic het Clown)

The reptiles are my pets where the dogs are family pets.

 

What morph?

 

Most of my "pets" can be found as part of "Welt der Gifte" on ZTL. The rest of my livestock consists of two dogs (a Shiba Inu and a Polish Tatra Sheepdog), a homosexual tomcat, a hand-reared mixed-breed sheep and two horses (my wife's Arab-Quarter-whatever mix and my Boulonnais gelding that works as a coach horse).

 

I've got 4 dogs: Rhodesian ridgeback- Mambo, border collie x kelpie- Smudge, pug- Rascal, pugalier- Pepper
3 cats- Daisy, Cleo, Matilda
1 rabbit- Frosty
2 Guinea pigs- Ridge and Popcorn
1 Galah- Loni
