Small Animal Thread

Anybody else have a little furball at your house? That would include rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, rats, mice, guinea pigs, sugar gliders, chinchillas, and others like these. If you do, post a pic or say something about it...



Here is Sunny, a mongolian gerbil (color is pied yellow fox)

I've had hamsters, mice, guinea pigs, chinchillas, erm... and also some small animals of the non-rodent kind.

Right now we have... 13 hamsters (10 babies).

 

[Michaela]

wow...

Only 1 hamster left now. I had 5 at one point but they unfortunately don't live terribly long. My last dwarf hamster died yesterday so I'm left with 1 Syrian now who's older than dirt. She's about 3 1/2 years old now and outlived all of the others. I also have 1 guinea pig and 2 degu's which look kind of like large gerbils and make a TON of noise.

I used to have a hamster a few years ago til I found out I'm highly allergic but now my brother has 2 rats .

I have one hamster, a black Syrian. He's a sweetheart and I love him to pieces.

We have 1 Dwarf Russian Hamster and he is the sweetest, cutest little guy! Jerico is his name and curiosity is his game He makes little clicking sounds and talks to us all the time. His cheeks are always stuffed full of seeds and makes him look like a chipmunk. He is very docile and let's us hold him and play with him.

A friend of mine has a hamster about to give birth and I'm going to get one of the babies. It's a caramel colored Syrian. We had one about a year ago that died at almost age 4! It was also a very sweet little guy.

Gotta love our little furballs

Ferrets are cool, my brother has 3 of them. they like being thrown on the couch and make their happy chirping noises and retaliate an attack by biting your socks. they also enjoy to storing food inside the couch or under the stove.

We have birds and a rabbit and a guinea pig at the moment... we've kept rabbits for 15 years. Here's a tapestry I did some time back of some of our pet family. I'm glad I made it cos it reminds me of their characters... Charlie my Cockertiel is still with us.

 

[Michaela]

Didn't show up, Crofter. At least not for me...

 

[Crofter]

Can we maybe not put pics up on here from a host site..? Not sure so I will attatch them as files... it it will accept them... it don't seem to like my pics.

... well... got two to load in the end.

 

[Michaela]

Really good Crofter!

I love animals - and have many.... but I don't let any of them live in the house. They are happier outside - and my house is cleaner and smells better for it.
The dogs however get to come in during the winter months at night when the weather is cold - we let them sleep in the laundry room. Otherwise they are all OUT. We have lots of wooded acres, a big barn, fields, etc... they prefer to be out.
And absolutly no cats in the house ever. I do love cats - but not in my house.

I raised rabbits when I was younger. Now I just have a bird, a Quarker Parakeet.

 

[Michaela]

i suppose birds could go in the small animal section...never really thought of it

I have one hamster, a black Syrian. He's a sweetheart and I love him to pieces.

We have one of those too. He's the father of the last litter we had... and one of the babies looked just like him. They're all gone now though.

I had a hamster but it died. Actually we had 3 of them but the other two belong to my sisters. Now we just have lots of everything else.
