IS Your House Like A Zoo?

[stephenie191]

I don't feel like sucha freak now for wanting more pets

People often think i'm wierd for having the animals i do, never mind anymore but i have never really holiday'd so im not giving much up

[Keeky101]

I have 6 cats, 2 guinea-pigs, 5-6 tropical fish(I dont know if my Khuli loach is still here...=/), 1 mouse, a baby cham, countless spiders and about 90 flies lol =D I have also adopted an orangutang who lives in boneo, and I call the geckos that live in and around my grandparents house me "pets" lol, they r really cute

Everyone I know says I have a zoo and they love it (especially some of my younger friends), but 2 peeps in paticular (who shal remain nameless) say that I have too much, but if you can afford the right care, then you can (in theory) have as many as you want!

My auntie has always had alot of animals and most of my family have always said "your turning into your auntie". We are the about the only two in my family that love animals, She currently has 6 dogs, 4 gerbils, 2 cats and a budgie. At the moment i have the 2 dogs, 4 tarantulas (with 2 more on the way), 2 scorpions (with 1 more on the way), 3 leos and 1 egg (not sure if it's fertile or not). I told my auntie what i've got now and will be getting soon and all she texted back was your nuts!!!!
As for going away the furthest i go is my mum's round the corner when i stay over to babysit my daughter the longest is for a weekend, the dogs come with me and i nip home and check everything else. When i went to rockness this year my mum dogsat and a mate checked that mats were ok but i just fed leos on fri before i left and then mon when i got back, and charlotte was fine.

yeah it is getting like a zoo, especially since i got more into geckos than snakes!! seriously considering loosing a snake at least nowdays.. getting over run. lol

we have a lot of animals...
people have even asked me while studying legislation if we needed a zoo licence!

[I had to point out that being as we're not open to the public, no we don't! ]

we have: 2 dogs (with puppies on the way), 2 cats, mice, rats, spiny mice, a 4x2x2 community fish tank, lots of various snakes, a tegu, some leopard geckos... i think that's about it. it's mostly snakes, poss about 70 odd in the house at the moment, but that includes a batch of cf royals and a load of corn snake babies..

there's always more we want... there's a ever growing wish list..
there always seems to be something we're waiting to arrive.

but animals are our life. i'm studying animal management at college as a backup as we are developing a business around animals.

it costs a lot. but it's what we want to do. we're lucky to be going on holiday in just over 4 weeks.. and have people nearby who can look after the animals..
