But he doesnt seem interested in the reptiles

Be aware that can change. My cats seem terrified of my geckos... but finding pieces of escaped pet slow worm in my front hall (still squirming - ) is not the highlight of my life.

I wouldn't bet that, given enough time to 'get brave', my cats would go for anything but the larger snakes or the two bigger lizards.

Think my only pet disaster was finding out my whole collection of Eastern Collared Lizards were male.. oh well..

when I was a kid I killed a hamster through dehydration BY ACCIDENT!! lol

thought it was ok, and cleaned it out, but the sawdust had got into the water bottle and solidified (I didn't notice) so my poor lil hammy died I still feel guilt about it 15 years later...

my worst disaster and biggest mistake was my dog(rottie bitch) killing my tortoise around 3 years ago,found the dog in her bed with half a tortoise,i`d paid £240 pound for the tortoise 2 weeks before and had paid £250 for the rottie,the rottie i rehomed cos i couldn`t look at her after that so i lost around £500 in one day.lesson learned the hard way.dogs think tortoises are chewy stones!!

I bought a black lab, my first eva dog, named charlie, got him home and didnt think he seemed very puppy'ish...didnt want to play etc.....popped out to shop, when i got home, opened the door, calling his name, no response...pushed the door open and he managed to heave his body out his bed b4 being sick everywhere and colapsing......rushed him to a vet havin not even had him 24 hrs, he spent the next 3 weeks in a animal hospital, the breeder had sold him to me KNOWING he had parvo virus and had all her dogs culled as were also infected....£2000 in vet bills later, the infection managed to get into the area of his back leg where the drip was and infected that so he had to hav his leg removed......vets told me he shoulda died...but he made a full 3 legged recovery and was the strongest animal......AND MOST LOYAL....I have eva owned...dad said it was cuz he knew what I had done for him........we nicknamed him charlie tripod hehe
