What Pets Have You Had.

[Bushbaby]

Down the years, what animals have you kept as pets?

My list is:

Dogs - shared with the family of course, at least 6.
Cats - shared with the family 20+ over the years. I have one at home with me now.
Goldfish - only the toilet knows...
Birds - none (sister allergic).
Snakes - 3 Western hog-nosed snakes. Gave away two years ago.
Lizards - 1 Chinese Water Dragon. Gave away last year.
Rats - 3, all died of old age eventually.
Degu - 3, very very noisy, found a new and happy home a month ago.
Pigs - 1 pot-bellied pig, didn't stop growing so at a petting zoo now.
Tortoises - at its peak, 41 leopard tortoises, we still have one retired female living in the back garden in Cape Town.
Ferrets - 2. My babies, loved them to bits but housemates were not as taken with them. Conflict led to them being rehomed with a friend.
Plus the usual mix of silkworms, caterpillars and frogs...
My green stick insects live at work.
