This has probs been done before but i just wonderd who has what with regards to animals! :)
I have:-
2 bulldogs
1 cat
1 cockatoo
1 cockateil
doves/finches/canaries/quails etc aviary birds
1 Raven
1 Duck
1 Rabbit
2 Guinea pigs
And an ace rat..until mum made me return him :evil:
oh and my mouse and hamster died recently :(

The amount of animals could possibly be due to the fact that i worked in a pet shop for the best part of 18 months until 3 weeks ago :D

No but some people do like to have their pets *stuffed* once they pass.
I saw an episode of peoples court or something where a lady was sueing a taxidermist becasue he did such a poor job preserving her dead pet chinchilla......she brought it in.....he did do a poor job. I can't remember who won the case.

And the mice's names are:

Ben (female-- 1 year, seven months)

Awwwwwww... that would be so kewel. If I didn't have cats that is. Though I suspect the raven would likely come out on top. But still... not a good match.

Well, the mice are in a well-protected, large cage. For awhile, the cats watched it like they were tv. But since then they've lost interest.

None of them have ever caught a mouse anyways. Don't think they'd know exactly what to do with one, hehe.

The most ceratinly do. :)

Back in the day when I used to let mine out of his cage and roam aroung the house......he would alway bounce of the wall to make a turn in direction instead of actually turning like us or any other animal I can think of at the moment.

Neat little animals.
Native to the Andese mountains in South America, they alsomt went extinct becasue their pelts were highly sought after for coats.
They have very soft and thick fur.....80 hairs per follicle.
