I really want a pet. I've always had a cat at home but now I live in a flat so can't really have a cat or a dog.
Just been to the pet shop to have a look, there were some really cute fluffy bunnies but they are not really suitable either.
Was thinking maybe some sort of fish or reptile? Anyone got any suggestions? I do go away at weekends sometimes so it can't be something that needs me to be there all the time.

plus they are pretty clean
besides that its going to have to be the boring fish ..(soz ,i hate fish)
unless you go for some kind of bird..:)
happy hunting!:thumb:
Edit: they only have a lifespan of a couple years
They are also evil little buggers... well the ones I used to know were anyway
Get a goldfish, and we can be fishy friends! :sour: hehe!
Take it with you, keep it in your pocket or in your bag
Say its your lucky gerbil, and you cant fly without it
You could keep him in one of those draws you have on the drinks trolley when your working :thumb:
It depends how squeamish you are about what type of pet you get. Rats are great pets, very intelligent, much less vicious than a lot of other rodents and they don't smell like mice do. I think gerbils are pretty boring, hamsters are quite cool but make a lot of noise at night which is when they're mostly awake and you're trying to sleep!
Rabbits and guinea pigs are quite good - friendly and don't take up too much space, and can be house-trained. Quite high start up costs though, a decent sized indoor cage will set you back about £70.
Otherwise you could go a little more alternative? Chinchillas and degus are fantastic, fluffy and fun
If i were you, i'd get a rabbit or ferret. But i can't have one any more, my kittens would either eat it or be scared of it
Ferrets and cats often get on pretty well!
They are VERY high maintenance though, and need at least 2 hours of dedicated playing time every day, as well as loads of attention. Very cute and very entertaining pets though, although they are a bit whiffy at times!
Although on the flip side, they sleep 20+ hours a day, so perfect for people who are out at work for a lot of the day, as long as they get enough attention at night
Hmm. I might try and persuade my boyfriend that it'd be a good idea to get me one for our anniversary :chin:
Neutered ferrets aren't full on stinky, but both sexes do have a slight smell. It's not really unpleasant (reminded me a wee bit of treacle) but it is always there. But then again, all animals do. As long as you keep them clean and healthy it's nothing terrible.
Customs Officer 1 'What's the matter ?'
Customs Officer 2 'That air hostess.'
CO1 'Yes ?'
CO2 'When i asked her if she had anything to declare.'
CO1 'Yes ?'
CO2 'She showed me smomething small, warm and hairy.'
CO1 'Yes ?'
CO2 'And when i went to touch it.'
CO1 'Yes ?'
CO2 'It bit me. I've never seen one that can bite back before.'
they are around 20cm long, breed easily and are also edible.
Yay fish! But they might get upset as I cook a lot of fish.
