Ever had any proper pet disasters?

I have We used to keep sharks and stingrays, but the stingrays always died. They are not at all hardy and die when stressed so they come with no guarantee at all, bought one for £350 and it was dead by the time i got it home, it was fine in the shop and the shop is only 5 minutes away but the stress of moving from A to B was too much and it popped its cloggs. Another one seemed fine, he was feeding from my hand, happy to be stroked, but died over night - water was perfect as not only was i testing it everyday i got it tested by a specialist vet when it had died. They put it down to stress

You ever had any bad luck with pets?

I once tried to breed my own crickets. Never got it right, the eggs, hundreds of them over time, always went wrong. Not much of a disaster and not expensive, but I don't think I've failed so badly at anything else. Always did well with fruit flies and my mantids.

No really no, other than a few rescues that were too far gone and didn't make it, but that wasn't a disaster, they had a better chance with us than where ever they were previously.

I had a miniature shetland colt run up the stairs in my mums house once she never found out but that was a nightmare I brought him and my other one up to the house to hose them in the garden but he untied his lead rein and off he shot

We got him down the stairs before mum got home but he was kicking and squealing all the way, they arent as dumb as you'd think, lol. Fortunately his bowel was apparently empty so there was no evidence
