What pet?

Me and the hubby want a pet but we don't know what to get.
I'm allergic to cats and dogs (they trigger my asthma and I get a rash and runny nose and itchy eyes etc) so they are out of the question. I hate dogs but love cats but it's not just the allergy, we live in a one bedroom flat on a main road so not the best environment for a cat or dog either.
The other half wants a hamster which I find quite amusing
Always thought youngsters had hamsters although one of my friends has a hamster and a dog.
I suggested a bird but hubby said he doesn't want it flicking s*** at him :yeees:
Can you think of a pet that is pretty easy maintenance who would not require a great deal of space?

Or gets rats! With rats you'll need 2 cos theyre sociable, animals and so friendly and love being handled. I'd have some now if I could afford to look after them
:yes: I'll give you mine, he is dumb.
Though it depends on what you mean by not needing a lot of space... a turtle like a slider or painted is going to need about 100 gallons.
Birds aren't monkeys or this guy they won't throw poop at you
Though I once lived with a bird and never slept past dawn, stupid annoying fucker.
:O! I want some sea monkeys now
I say get a turtle!
Sea monkeys are funny...until a big one grows and eats them all...bad times.
Me and a friend today decided that I would get a chicken and she would get a duck and we would make a ducken...or a chuck we weren't sure
Mine is. Yesterday I found him stuck upside down on his rock with his dock on top of him... how he even managed that I can't begin to comprehend.
they eat eachother?!.....matter of fact, i dont want them now. I use to get freaked out because they would get so big that i could see their beedy eyes from the other side of my bedroom, and i would jsut use to keep thinking they were staring at me constantly....:|
lol can gerbils sway? Infact what does a gerbil look like? Haha
Yes I suggest not getting a cat not just because your allergic to them but because with their old age they tend to walk into things, fall off things, dribble and occationally pee in the shower.
post of the week right there!
like a cross between a rat and a mouse? but i could be thinking of guinpigs!
Hahaha I agree!
No you're right - gerbils look like large mice but they have furry tails.
Just remember they live for about 18 years. They are lovely animals though.
I have no idea how birds can flick s*** at you, he reckons his mate had a parrot once that use to do this.
I love animals, remember going into a pet shop once and there was a parrot and I went over and said hello to it (like a cutesy hello) and it said hello back, I was only young and didn't know some parrots could talk and I thought it was amazing!
Sea monkeys! i thought they were cute?
They have evil eyes! no emotion! the top right one is out to kill!
Uuummmm... really?!
LOL@ this- the first time i've properly laughed all week! the one on the top right really does look evil...:chin:
