How did you end up with so many? How long does it take to look after them all every day? I assume you must work/stay home to have enough time?

Cows Go µ

Wow, and I thought our 2 terrapins, 3 dogs and 4 cats was a lot. That is seriously a whole other league

stepbar

3 dogs and 2 cats. Have 1 dog now. God I feel so inadequate.

Harris

I do work from home & have a small business that involves animals - I have 3 other adults who also help to feed & keep the critters happy.

Dogs & cats are all rescues that were dumped on me! Some of the parrots are rescues too as are the turtles I forgot to mention & Toni the tortoise. If you have a routine the feeding & cleaning are ok.

A Doozer

Wow! That is some list.

Moi?

3 dogs
5 horses
And a bonsai tree called James.

spookymuffin

That is an insane amount of animals!

I love coatis and hedgies myself and hope to own some in the future. For now I have:

• 3 Degus.
• 4 Goldfish.
• 10 adult Bettas and about 50 fry.
• Too many Apple Snails.

I'm currently on the lookout for a nice pair of young male gerbils to put in the spare 15 gallon tank I have.

Ruu_Old

Just two cats right now, sometimes more when we are foster parents to a few kittens a couple of times a year.

joyce2009

Lot less than what we did have between homing rescues and old age/natural causes loved having lots but it's easier now having just a few.
No plans to get any more for a looooong loooooong time.

Perhaps a fawny coloured greyhound when we retire lol.

They are only active at night - do you have lots of stuff for them to climb on? A nice big sponge that is always wet & try it on lots of food - some love peanut butter (good for adding salt) & salted popcorn is good too. Other than that - play with it - & if you get pinched stay VERY still till it lets go! If you move so much as a millimetre it will pinch harder - not fun!

dee o gee

At the moment:
1 dog, a cairn terrier x
1 cat
1 syrian hamster
1 dwarf hamster, used to have two but his brother died 2 months ago
and two pigeons that visit our garden every day!

Ever:
1 dog
2 cats
1 rabbit
1 gerbil
1 syrian hamster
2 dwarf hamsters
and many many assorted types of fish!

Eyeore

Wow thats a lot of pets!
I have two Springer Spaniels and a Cat and thats more than enough to keep me busy

Amberjack

Gosh, Faysey, that is a lot of animals, but fair play to you for taking them all on.
I have 2 (mental) Springer Spaniels, 1 Jack Russell and 3 cats - I'd love more, but hubby says enough!

Hermit07

Yeah I have the sponge, the anti chorine drops, pellet food and a house for him to hide in.

He seems to like dog food pellets. I did notice last night he was trying out for size the new shell I left in for him:D

I always wonder if he is warm enough???

ghost_ie

Three dogs right now but in a former life we had tropical fish in an aquarium, goldfish in a pond (until a heron visited one morning), 2 snakes, a hermit crab, 2 pirhannas (in a tank), linnets and canaries, and 3 chipmunks. Mornings were hilarious - feed fish in aquarium and pirhannas, feed snakes, turn kettle on, feed chipmunks and birds, grab food for outdoor fish and throw into pond, wash hands, make coffee and put out breakfast for children and other half. The hermit crab was fed by the daughter whose pet he/she/it was.

PetrovthePrat

Flipping heck,I dunno how some of ye are doing it! We've the one dog,a pretty energetic Lab X GSD and he takes up just about all our time. Well,I've the one dog,"herself" has the dog and a me!

We've one male Shih-Tzu and one cat, our four kittens all moved to their two new homes at the weekend. We're thinking about a female Shih-Tzu (with potential puppy-joy). Planning a tropical fish tank too. I'd love to get some hamsters and some terrapins but with our giddy pets I'm not sure it'd be a good plan.

mlettis

1 dalmatian ( like having 3 extra kids )

VERYinterested

I'm getting a Kerry Blue on Saturday, 5 month old female and I can't wait! Our last dog, an Irish Terrier died in May 2008 and we've only just come around to owning another dog. The death of a treasured pet is very traumatic, but I think (in hindsight) the best thing is to get straight back in again soon after. I think we waited too long but can't wait to make up for lost time.

Plus we've got hundreds of birds visiting the back garden, (I know they don't count as pets) but some are very familiar to us, amazing what a few fat balls, peanuts and Nyger seed will do to transform the place!

We have two cats and are thinking of fostering kittens with the DSPCA, but i was concerned that they wouldnt allow us cos we already have 2 cats. Obviously no problems no??

Magicman1

1 Golden Labrador - Sophie
1 Border Collie - Minty
1 Yellow Bellied Slider(turtle) - Michelle (geddit? Mi-shell!!!) my wife's idea!

2 kids - Sean and Hollie
1 wife - Bridget

ddc

We have 2 Westies but we also do Doggie Daycare in our home so we always have a variety of them that we treat like our own but I don't think there is any beating the first list!

I laughed at that!
Why James?
I've got a young un-named chilli tree,
A German Shepherd/Doberman mix called Molly (really clever and brilliant guard dog).
A gorgeous but dumb Doberman (Nigel) and a really destructive baby Rottie called Ella, a demanding cat (The Boss) called Cathy, 5 Horses, and 2 Tortoises, (Smiff and Mr Jones).

At the moment: 1 doggy and one bunny rabbit:D
