    At the minute only two---1 cat and my Sammy.
    Most ever at one time was 4 dogs when I lived at home---all strays that myself and my dad picked up and gave homes to.

    I live in deepest Laois.

    The gf is a breeder of exotic pets. We breed hamsters and gerbils for pet shops. We are trying to get our pet shop open in the new year. At the moment we mostly sell privately.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 274 ✭✭FAYESY


    Hi Illkillya,

    You wanted to know what Degus, Sugar Gliders, & Shaws Jirds are.

    Shaws Jirds are like giant girbils - loads of fun & very very cute.

    Sugar Gliders are marsupials & are like flying squirrels so adorable

    Degus are similiar to Chinchillas & are very active & talk alot!

    If you visit the web site www.smallandfurries.co.uk they have pictures & loads of info on most rodents & exotics.

    Take Care

    Fayesy :D

    I've only got one dog!!!! Boo. An English Springer Spaniel.

    But she's the most intelligent creature I have ever come across. I swear to God, she's something else. I know everyone says that sbout their pet but I mean it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 702 ✭✭✭roxy


    oh the dog's name isn't Boo by the way! That was just me expressing sorrow!

    No real pets as such but there's two big spiders living in my porch that we call Cleetus and Billy Bob. Can't really claim to own them as pets but I'd kinda miss them if they weren't around.
