My other half all way says, seeing as I work in a zoo why do I need one at home!! 1 Cat, 1 rat, snakes, lizards (6 species), frogs(4 diff species), 4 scorpions, about 20 mantids, millipeids, x amount of beetles and sticks!! And 22 tarantulas and 2 cockatiels and a few fish! Reptiles are all unwanted pets, as is the cat, and one of the cockatiels!
Currently I have 0.1 guinea pigs, 2 fantail goldfish and 5 white cloud mountain minnows. Probably getting a bearded dragon soon once I have saved up enough. I have spent months doing extensive reaserch on the care of bearded dragons and i am not going to purchase one until i am absolutly sure that i know what i am doing.
It means how many males or females. For example: 1.0 is 1 male, 1.1 is 1 male, 1 female, 1.7 is 1 male and 7 females, 0.7 is no males and 7 females...
1.5.0 white cloud mountain minnows 0.0.1 Ryukin goldfish 0.0.1 Baby bearded Dragon (suspected male) Coming soon..... 0.2.0 Netherland Dwarf Rabbits 1.0.0 Tabby Cat Possible future....... 0.0.1 Leopard Gecko or 0.0.1 African fat-tailed Gecko Past pets........ 0.4.0 Guinea pigs 0.0.8 Goldfish 0.0.1 Butterfly Pleco
Currently I only own 1.0 Otter Rex Rabbit, simply because my brother moved out recently and he is the one that brought our pets into the collection. At my brothers new house he has taken 2.0 Chinchilla (father and child), 0.0.1 goldfish (I think koi), though sadly this has recently died after a good 10yr+ life and 1.0 Roborovski's Dwarf Hamster. My brother has also obtained 1.1 kittens (not sure of breed) since moving out. In the past (collectively), we have owned the following (not sure of breeds): 0.0.2 Budgerigars 0.1 Hamster 2.0 Rabbits 0.0.5 goldfish Several cats (but when I was young, so don't know numbers/genders) In the future (especially when I move out) I hope to own: 1.1 Pot-Bellied Pig 1.4 Chicken (any breed) 1.2 Indian Blue Peafowl 1.1 Green Iguana 1.1 Bearded Dragon 0.1 Sugar Glider (maybe also a male, but not essential since they can be happy with human interaction)
0.1 Boxer dog 0.3 Guinea Pigs 0.4 Chickens (2 Hybrids, 1 Old English Game type and 1 Silkie) 1.3 Rabbits 1.1 Budgies 1.0 Zebra Finch 1.1 Bengalese Finch (failure when it comes to breeding!) 1.0 Gerbil (last survivor from an accidental breeding which resulted in 12 babies!) 0.0.4 Fancy Goldfish 1.1 Dwarf Gourami

Current count: Indoors: 1 magpie, 1 starling, 1 sparrow: all hand-reared (the magpie and sparrow by us, the starling by a wildlife hospital, was released, didn't like it, found a human to land on!) Outdoors: 1 magpie (hand-reared, released, was a nuisance to humans, recaptured, rehomed here), 2 azure-winged magpies, plus 3 of this year's young magpies (1 tame, one wildish, but will take things from tweezers, 1 more wild) and 5 of this year's young crows, hopefully releasable next year if they grow decent wings and tails. Oh, and one cat...!
Just 2 guinea pigs both male called Michael and Pippin. They are my avatar. Pippin is the blonde one.
I have two male cats and 2 female guinea pigs. Also, I am thinking of getting a turtle (some sort of soft-shelled turtle), and I was wondering if anyone with a turtle had any tips or advice? Thanks
Currently have: 0.1 cat 0.0.1 Indian ringneck, suspect male but not sure, still a young bird 0.0.3 golfish. Plan to get soon (summer): 0.0.6 Rainbow skinks Plan to get eventually: 1.1 Bearded dragons Pheasants, finches, maybe some other parrot species, and some NZ geckos. Have kept heaps of pets as a kid, but all pretty standard, domestic stuff.
I currently have 1.1 Berber skinks 3.6 Horsefield Tortoises 2.1.5 Mediteranean spur thigh tortoises 2 Light sussex hens Would love to have Aldabran Tortoises ( I'm dreaming) A couple of Alpacas
At the moment I only have- 1:0 Carolina green anole 1:0 Asian long-tailed grass lizard 0:1 Violet ground beetle 0:0:1 Devil's coach-horse beetle Having sadly lost 1:0 Carolina green anole and 1:0 Neon blue-tailed tree lizard to old age. Now, I have a spare tank, either for another small lizard species (I'm thinking emerald blue geckos) or a tree frog species. I also plan to increase my invertebrate collection.
Throughout childhood I had hamsters (14 in total but not at the same time) and rabbits (8 but most at 1 time was 4) Since moving out of my parents' home I have had 3 male rats (Poirot, Holmes and Doodle). Doodle was a rescue and had special needs so had to live on his own. I now have 2 more male rats, both are Hooded Fancy Rats and they are called Jeremy and Charlie!!!
Now have....... 0.1.0 Bearded dragon 0.1.0 Okeetee Corn snake 1.0.0 Tabby cat (suspected Bengal cross) 1.3.0 White cloud mountain minnows 0.0.2 Zebra Danio 0.0.2 Leopard Danio 0.0.1 Chinese hillstream Loach 0.0.1 Chinese algae eater
4 Assorted Danios - Don't know sexes lol. From Pets At Home 4 White Clouds - Again don't know sexes lol. From Pets At Home 1 Dwarf Loach - As above. From Pets At Home 1 Cat - Female called Lottie who I got from Cats Protection. I am looking at either getting tropical fish in the future but I may need another tank as I am hoping for babies from the Clouds and Danio's. Or Axolotti depending on how hard they are to keep.
Sadly, I have no more budgies. I will hopefully be able to achieve my dream of owning either a green cheeck or sun conure or Hahn's or blue and gold macaw
Now I have: 0.2.0 American Bulldog/Pittbull Mixes 1.1.0 Yellow Anaconda 0.0.1 Desert Kingsnake 1.1.0 Bearded Dragon 1.0.0 Giant Plated Lizard 0.2.0 Leopard Geckos 1.0.0 Red Eared Slider Lots of Fish
