Besides dogs, what other pets do you own? Can't Post

Besides dogs, I own a 3-legged spayed black cat named Ginny, rescued from the streets about 5 years ago. She gets along fairly well with the dogs. I recently got 3 more new pets. They're Hermit Crabs (2 Caribbeans & 1 Ecuadorian) & their names are Pee-Wee Herman (the youngest & the smallest), Boom Boom Pow (the biggest & the ugliest) & Popeye (the shyest among the three). Apparently you can eat these crabs but we're not going to do that. That's just mean. These fellas can live up to 30 years.

Here are pictures of their "crabitat"

Boom Boom Pow - Hideous isn't he? I believe he's the Ecuadorian species because he refuses to change shells. The shell he's currently using is way too small for him.

Pee-Wee Herman - He's quite docile towards humans.

Cool! I also used to own a few fighting fishes, ping pong goldfish, guppies + other types of fishes, krill shrimps, a very spoiled & "lansi" terrapin named Elliot who grew 10 times the original size when I 1st got him. He always enjoyed eating the cat's food & walking around the house. We also had three birds (have no idea what they were called), a few hamsters, a Holland Lop rabbit & another "longkang" cat named Tinkerbell.

Tinker had renal failure due to an accident she had when she was just a little kitten. She was euthanized back in January this year. She was almost 7 years old.

Boogles was my 3 1/2 months old Holland Lop rabbit & she only lived with us for 4 days. The poor thing died from some kind of parasite infection in her bowels. She really was the most adorable thing I've ever owned but...what a pity she died.

I grew up loving animals. Sometimes it is not a good thing...for the animals. Some of them are not domesticated and living outside their natural environment is not fun I bet. I know better now, I will not keep one if I cannot provide a good environment for it. I just despises people who bring their pets like sugarglider and python out to malls, maybe they are ignorant.

The more exotic the pet, the more specialized the care needed to keep it healthy & happy. IMO, as long as the pet is legal in their area/country & they take the responsibility seriously & don't just pick it up cause it's trendy, I have no problem with anyone owning any type of pet.
