Thanks for the insight into bedroom life guys!


I would say, about an hour and a half mon- sat, then 2 hours sunday. So about 11 hours a week.

Edit, should have worked it out more before i voted!

between 10 and 15 hours I'd say. Bit less at the mo as I only have my skink and ackie with me right now. But at home with all the leos and 3 cats its about that. All the heaters are on timers so I mainly spend time feeding them and letting them out to explor/excercise or just watching them

in the morning i mist my fire sal, change all the waters and feed my sal and beardie which takes about half an hour.
Later on ill give my beardie a few mealworms and a few crickets as an extra snack(cos hes really active and burn of everything he eats) and handle him, which takes about an hour cos i play with him for ages cos hes funny. then when im going to bed ill feed my leo and hold her for a little while which takes about half an hour.

So per day-- 2 hours.
per week-- 14 hours.

not bad for someone that has school everyday and gcse coursework to do all the time

And i plan to up my exotic family a bit soon

Get a room Nerys lol

It's hard for me to work out cuz I have so many different things to do like I will do waters in the geckos then go have breakfast and when I come back up to get ready I will do the snakes so mine is scattered really but I would say 30 minutes for the dogs a day for feeding, non of them are keen on going out so walks are really as and when they are asking to go maybe 3 hours a week.
The rabbits, guineas & rats get an hour a day for feeding and cleaning but then when the weather is good they are out in the run 1 at a time cuz our other run broke lol so again it's a case of put one in the run do a few jobs go back and swap them over.
Ferrets at the moment are taking up the majority of my time as I have one that has been neutered in the house and the rest in shed/run, then the next week I have two in that wee after neutering and the rest in the shed etc etc. so again I spend 45 minutes with the outside ones and intermittent throughout the day with whoever is indoors.
The geckos, beardies, chams, uros take about 30 minutes to feed I have that down to a fine art cleaning again I tend to do three vivs go and make a cuppa go back and do another 4 etc.
I would say 20 hours a week? I dunno as I said it's so hard to work it out when it's so scattered, I would love to be organised and do two straight hours a day then carry on with living but I am always busy in one direction get weigh layed doing another job and start that then go back!!!!

Ahem, I selected '1-5' but that's because I only have stick insects right now Still, I have to do battle with the local bramble bushes once a week to make sure they have leaves to munch on, lol.
