Dream non-equine, non-canine pets?

[MotherOfChickens]

Well, if I could do them justice, I would have an octopus. But I’d prefer to have an octopus that I could go visit, than have one in the house. Although that would be cool if they were agreeable and they could have what they wanted on TV for sure.

 

[Wishfilly]

With all these people suggesting various big/exotic cats, was thinking I would definitely love to have an African Wild Dog, and/or a Maned Wolf.

I take it that it's a sign i have grown up at last, that i don't actually want anything

(except more ponieeeeeeeees!!! oh dear, i am still 10 years old after all)

 

[EventingMum]

As a child I wanted a pet monkey, I think the idea came from reading the Swallows and Amazons book where Captain Flint had one called Gibber! Now I'm happy with dogs and our remaining house cat, oh, and of course, horses!

Not even a unicorn?

 

[PurBee]

Praying mantis - theyre sooo weird i find then fascinating - and they are kinda groovy as they love a boogie ?

 

[windswoo]

Orangutan and a sloth.
They can both live in the trees at the back of the yard.

Aside horses and dogs, my favourite animals are parrots and I live with 9 of them (Greenwing Macaw, Yellow NapedAmazon, Dutch blue Lovebird, AfricanGrey, 2 Senegals and 3 Black HeadedCaiques) Plus I have rabbits, gerbils, Crested Geckos and an Ackie Monitor
Other that that I guess it would be Alpacas

I have a ton of roaches too but I'm afraid they are dinner for Stretch, the Monitor lizard ? ??

I'd like a little herd of wild piglets. I saw some two or three years ago, trotting along up the hill past my garden, not caring to stick around due to distant shots from a rifle.

They were GORGEOUS. Various colours of black and chestnut, somewhat spotty. They looked like they'd all come from the same litter.

I ran up to the back fence to prolong my view, trying to hide among the bushes so as not to scare them off. But they saw me of course and scarpered quick smart.

Ackie monitors are super cool!

Hyena.

 

[Griffin]

I adore my house rabbits so much but I would love to adopt some guinea pigs (obviously not to live with the rabbits). I just don't have the space though for them inside though.

My ultimate dream pet would be a squirrel! I don't care what colour because all squirrels are cute in my opinion! I get so excited when I see squirrels out and about.

 

[flat3]

Otters and penguins for me ?

I do have a phobia of fish though so would need to work through that ?

 

[Esmae]

A Jaguar. So beautiful.

 

[Ratface]

A giraffe, please. I love the way they blend in with their environment and then you suddenly notice their huge eyes and long eyelashes peering out of some random foliage . . .

 

[spotty_pony]

After looking after one this week I now really want a pig!!

 

[AmyMay]

A Sloth and a Lion please. Oh, and an Otter ?

 

[adamntitch]

No other takers for the roaches??

They are adorable. Look at this random man on the internet with his cockroach! He looks so happy. One day, OH will give in

if you want a pair i have a few going spare lol

 

[adamntitch]

coconut/robber crab i know where i can get one but there nearly £400 each lol

 

[TPO]

A panda, specifically a baby panda ?

They always seem to be up to something and just rolling about getting stuck places. Too cute

You are welcome to one of our squirrels....its enormously fat and has chewed a hole in one of the wheelie bins. You can hear it thudding about in there and ripping all the plastic bags. If you open the lid it leaps out vertically like a bad tempered jack -in- the -box !

 

[Bucked_off]

Hmm... so many animals to choose from.

• A beluga. I think they're adorable. My friends also call me Jelly Belly Beluga (don't ask). Not very realistic but oh well.
• Turtles. 2 named Frank and Ralph
• Dogs- Australian Shepherd, Samoyed, basically any mid sized or largeish breed.
• Ducks- I have three right now- Puddles, Splash, and Lucky (we call him Lucky Ducky). They're all Rouen ducks, so they just look like really big Mallards. But I think Runner Ducks (they're hillarious) and Cayuga ducks (I want one named Pepper) are also amazing
• Goats- they're hilarious. But I'd have so much trouble keeping them contained
• a donkey- especially a mini. So cute!!
• I'll probably think of lots more I wish I'd added after I post this, but this sums up my top non-horse picks.

I would like to be able to sensibly keep (in a suitable amount of space) both camels and giraffes. I know camels are not everyone's cup of tea but they truly are extraordinary animals. And giraffes....just too beautiful. I mean a camel can go just about anywhere and they are intelligent, loyal, tough and wonderfully bizarre looking!! For now though, dog and ponies are enough work lol.

 

[TwyfordM]

Serval, cheetah and black leopard. A couple of elephants and a big monitor lizard. Maybe a zebra or two as well ?

 

[MagicMelon]

I’d love a pet fox … despite me also thinking it wouldn’t be right or fair to keep a wild animal as a pet ??

Same here! They always look so fun but would never have one for that reason. Ive also thought ferrets look fun but I wouldnt like to have to keep meat to feed them. Would happily collect cats given the choice, would like to rescue them. Id also quite like a zebra, I know some people do have them, I do think they should be in the wild but Id just find it interesting to see how they were different from horses (more wild?).

 

[poiuytrewq]

If love a monkey! Not in a cage just swinging round the house ?
They used to sell marmosets and some other little monkey babies in the pet shop I passed on my way home from school ?
I used to walk a long way to a different bus stop so I could go via the pet shop, they just mesmerised me.
Obviously shocking looking back and not something I’d ever do really. They are just such amazing little things
