Does anyone else have any random animals which live in the house? We used to have a chicken (she wasn't ment to be a house-chicken, but she was so friendly, she used to sneak in, sit on the sofa and watch the TV so we'd just let her otherwise she'd sit outside the french doors staring at us!).

No! That's the weird thing! She'd go back outside to poo, almost as if she'd been a dog in a previous life! (gawd, I can't bare chicken poo - if she'd have poo'd in the house we'd have had chicken curry for tea!).

we just have a couple of fish and a cat! i'd love a couple of guinea pigs, but my cat would have them for tea! he is a bit of a delinquent thug, come cat burgler, but a soft as anything and always comes to sit on a lap if he can find one ... even a baby sitting on the floor is fine as far as he is concerned!

i used to know a couple of minders who both had parrots.

I have 2 bearded dragons called Rosie and Spike. They have babies - 5 of them which are still very young and we are not keeping them for much longer, once they are a few months older we will be selling them, so we haven't named them

We also have a tortoise called Tuck

and a 7 year old Lhasa Apso dog called Bilbo

i have two cats...petal and flower (parsley died 3 years ago)

we used to have a house bunny called Peter (original) who loved the theme tune to neighbours and would hop into the lounge and sit on the sofa to watch it. he has a litter tray and a house but favoured under a bed to sleep.

I also have a 6ft1" long haired yeti answering to the name of Paz, Salty or Phil depending on who calls him. He is nearly house trained but still drags in bits of motorcycle every so often. He is like a baby really as he needs feeding every 4 hours and drinks from a bottle at times.

he is free to good home

We have 6 african snails, 1 gerbil called bubbles, 2 fish, houdini the hamster (appropriatly named!) which is my daughters, peaches the cat, charly the dog, molly and fred the grumpy old rabbits and thumper the bouncy freindly rabbit who keeps trying to come in the cat flap, and last of all lettuce the guineapig who is fat and old and fed up cause his partner died:ohdear:

think thats it, my partner wants to adopt some rats as we had them before and they were lovley and friendly but we just dont have the space indoors for them.

I had a Nikon D50 and a Nikon D300, both are Digital SLRs. I sold them though to get the deposit together for the flat when I moved in with my partner. I wish I still had one of the cameras, I miss them :(

I used to do photography, kids and animals :D

For many years (and inspections) we had rats (in a cage). House-rabbits - never pooed in the house only in cage. Guinea pigs (only pooed in cage). I had a friend sit on the sofa chatting and a guinea came and sat quitely next to her and after a few mins let out a loud squeak and made her jump. They only roamed when the mindees went home. unfortunately they are now all roaming free under the flowerbeds:( .

Just got the normal three cats & a dog now.
