Whats the 'worst' pet you have ever had?

Pretzill · 03-08-2013 01:46AM

Never had a bad pet only had bad humans. It looks like rabbits are winning the baddest pet award so far. Who knew?

A peri winkle. After a night on the beer we had to go our separate ways, and by separate ways I mean down the gullet.

My mate Paul had a **** pet, Rocky was its name.

Yep. It was a stone.

Paul took that stone everywhere, tied to a piece of string.

It looked a bit like a duck, but a duck made of stone.

There's more to this story... but it's a "roller coaster", I warn you all.

A ferret, was a mental bugger, never knew that they give off a bad smell when they startle themselves either

Ferrets are great pets. Have one myself and he's a great little pet and good hunter too.
Chipmunks were pretty bad pets. Vicious bast4rds.
The worst was a Bosc or savannah monitor as they are called aswell. This thing was 3 foot long and had good bit of weight in him. He was very aggressive.
Long muscly tail that was serious quick to lash and whip you and jaws that could crush fingers.
Have enough scars over the bast4rd

Great if you've got mice, I hear... or rabbits... mammals of dog size or smaller, in fact.

My bunny Bugsy( inventive name or what) used to chase me up the garden! Little did I know he was using the excerise to flick his legs and spray pee on me! Loved him so muh. He died after knawing on our creosote painted wood shed!!!! Never even crossed our mind that it would harm him! Miss you Bugsy xxxxx

None of my pets were really bad. The dog did make a habit of humping my arm if I sat on the ground and was the perfect size for her mouth to be at my ear so she would be panting and whispering sweet nothings in my ear as she went to town on my arm. Try pushing her off and she would jump back on.

The dog also learnt that if she had a sock someone would take it off her and put it back so decided to hand my mum a sock(would normally do her best to keep it), when my mum came back the dog was finishing her lunch.

Always wanted to get ferretss.

Goldfish the ones I had never lasted more than a day had to keep replacing them.

I had one that lived 10 years! They're very boring pets though.

I had tropical fish for a while. One day I was cleaning the tank (a horrible job, and you get nothing back from the fish) and the next day I noticed one of the fish was missing. I assumed it had died and been eaten by the catfish until I found it's shrivelled body over the other side of the room.

I used to collect ladybirds and keep them in a jar filled with water. No one bothered to tell me that ladybirds don't live in water.

Goldfish, most boring pet ever.

Ours weren't boring when we came down to find 1 and 1/2 goldfish in the bowl, it was obvious what had happened. We had a pair of little terrapins in with them and they were still nibbling on it

Boscs can be lovely, I've held a few nice older ones in Reptile Haven, I've heard the babies are nippy at first though.
You have to be careful picking them up, one of the lads in Reptile Haven picked up an adult who was trying to get into a shelf with bags of woodchips, whatever way he picked him up, he put pressure on its bowels and it shat all over the floor

Worse pet we've ever had was a cockatoo I got in a market in Paris. When I came home from Paris the bird went two days ahead of me on Aer Lingus cargo. It never got tame, it did get to the point though that it would take one of it's toys off you and then fling it on the floor.
Beautiful looking animal, didn't make a beautiful noise though. And he used to peck holes in things.

Worst non-pet animal we had was a horse. My uncle and his friend who supposed know about horses came with us, looked at the horse's teeth and agreed that he was five or six years old.
After we bought him one of the instructors at the Pony Club said he was only three years old.
He was hard to catch and the last time I rode him he threw me off.

At the moment I have a wild little iguana, have her three years and she never tamed down. I've had iguanas before and they all tamed down (one male did get aggressive at about 6-7 years old age)
I miss having a tame iggy

The mother's female Bichon Frise is a lesbian cat rapist. She waits for the cat to fall asleep and then aggressively humps her. The humping becomes more aggressive the more the cat fights her.... The poor cat is traumatized and sleep deprived!

When I was 10 I bought a stick insect which I named Trevor. Turns out stick insects aren't interested in much else than looking like a stick...may as well have bought a stick!

Mr. CooL ICE · 03-08-2013 11:27AM

When i was 5, my parents bought a terrier from a puppy farm, being none the wiser. The guy was insane. My parents wormed him on the first day and he pretty much crapped out a small pile of worms. He was loud, aggressive and couldn't be housetrained. After 10 months, I arrived home from school one day to hear that he "had gone to live on a farm with other dogs". Despite being 6, I didn't cry. Was glad he was gone.

A few years later, my parents recognised a name in the newspaper. Same guy they bought the dog from was jailed for animal cruelty.

Travis, my Iguana. Since he was a little baby lizard you couldn't wear any clothing with zips on them as he'd try and lick them constantly. Also you can't sit and watch telly or go on the laptop and let him run around the room, oh no, he HAS to sit on your shoulder/head. Even now and he's fully grown at 4ft! Complete header but I love him.

Don't even know why i'm posting in the ''worst'' thread 'cus he's not the worst. I just wanted to tell you how awesome Travis is.

When I was a kid one of my friends had a hamster who was a vicious little ****er, used to bite everyone.

My worst pet was a moth. I kept it in a Ferrero Rocher box. I was a weird child.

Totally useless yokes altogether. I'd rather keep a snot as a pet, it would be more interesting

Maybe 'her indoors' finds cats more interesting than him outside.;)

There is one up in aquatic village and is puppy tame and around 5 foot. He was in same enclosure as the tegu up there and the two of them got along so well. The tegu is lovely and I've neer actually come across a bad one.
Came across a Nile monitor that should've been out down. Wasn't just aggressive but was determined to attack people through his enclosure.
Apparently all Nile monitors are the same. Very few are tame

I adopted an African kid off an ad on the telly. He still hasn't arrived yet. Worst pet ever!

Saved up my pocket money,a pound a week to buy Hoppy,a beautiful white rabbit.

Managed to get the required 5 pounds together to buy Hoppy,had a hutch prepared,rabbit food,the works.

Finally the day came,it was time to pick up the rabbit.There was great excitement in the house.

Got the rabbit home ,watched with delight as he jumped around the sitting room.
Next thing a cat appeared at the window and stared intensely at Hoppy.

Hoppy on seeing the fcukin cat had a massive heart attack,keeled over and died.
Had him a whole 10 minutes.
C unt.

One of my favourite cats, named Angry, killed a whole hutch of young rabbits. However, he spent most of his later life blind in one eye due to an un- rehabilitated hunting spaniel. I buried said spaniel after he died from poison laid by a neighbour who's sheep probably died from 'worrying' by a much younger dog.
Still waiting for that neighbour's death notice.

I had a hamster called Rasputin, he would climb along the sides and the top of cage to follow to your hand to bite it, so as you can imagine feeding time was fun. He also ate my curtins and anything else that was in the vicinity of nis cage .He eventually committed suicide by jumping off the top of the cage and breaking his neck.

Big Nasty · 04-08-2013 04:05AM

Pics of the ferrets and iguanas please!

DEFTLEFTHAND · 04-08-2013 04:06AM

Probably the numerous goldfish we had during my childhood. The little guys seemed to die off fairly quickly.

Our cat at the time would sit on the table which their bowl was on and fish his paw around the water. He never to my knowledge caught one but I reckon he sped up their demise. The poor little fellas probably had heart attacks.

My friends cat had a few kittens, she went off to work one day when they were a few weeks old and came home to find the dog had killed them by licking them to death.

I never really had a bad pet although I did have a jack Russell who would snap at me whenever the feeling came over her. She was lovely the rest of the time though.
