AliceBell64468 aww they are gorgeous lovely names thanks for commenting its great seeing everyone's photos

kate1310 aww your two are beautiful! I really want a little one to add to our collection lol

AliceBell64468 lol I would love another but the insurance is so expensive

DeBunny do you have loads of pets lol my kids had hamsters and gold fish when they were small but I have only had my 2 wee furbabys I just love animals

kate1310 We’re ‘down to’ 11 now

This includes reptiles, rodents, invertebrates and more. We don’t count the fish, the clean up crew or my partners ant colony though

I am very passionate about rabbits and hamsters in particular, I used to foster them too. The reason most people don’t usually enjoy them though is they don’t give them enough space and other things they need, they are actually more complex than people realise. I certainly wouldn’t recommend either as children’s pets. But of course parents should never put full responsibility on to them and I believe even if a child gets ‘bored’ of their pet, they should be taught it is a living creature, part of the family and you can’t just rehome them to get something different.

I actually think a giant millipede is much more suitable, although I adored my hamsters when I finally managed to have some as a child

I longed for pets for so long, I think when I moved out, I couldn’t help myself and it’s been non-stop. We are taking a break from taking on anymore at the moment though, need to focus on health and other things, but some of ours will be with us a whole lot longer yet.

I couldn’t see my life without any animals, my niece is a little Dolittle too much to my sister’s annoyance haha.

DeBunny omg are yous lol iam bad enough with just 2 dogs lol my partner wants a reptile but I keep saying we don't have room for a big glass cage lol aww did you foster animals that would be absolutely amazing I have a garden full of dead hamsters yes a lot of kids want pets then get bored and the parents give them away I could never do that hope your health gets better

Leannexxx aww was it they are great dogs if they have the right owner lots of people think they are bad just because there owners get them that way it's so sad I know a few friends who have them and they are big softys thanks for your comment

kate1310 there a great family dog had male and female fantastic with my kids too at the end of the day any dog can attack it's how there brought up

Leannexxx yes my thoughts exactly its the owners not the dogs

Howmuch kids always want them then leave there parents to do everything lol mu granddaughter has 2 cats she's obsessed with cats thanks for your comment

SamGoodship awww how cute

SamGoodship awwwwww, beautiful eyes

jdible it's beautiful love the wee coat

SaveMeSunday my girls are so cheeky but want cuddles all the time they won't go out for the toilet until I rub there tummy it was ok when it was just the 1 but now the both of them do it as soon as you say are you going for a pee they both roll over onto there back wee cuties

Pinkspirit aww so pretty my wee girls face is getting really white these last few weeks hate seeing her get older

kate1310 l totally agree, we want them to stay younger for longer as they are not around long enough, my four paws was fox red but also has all four paws grey now, young children often ask 'is she wearing boots'. She may have a sugar face but will always be my baby

Pinkspirit my wee leynas paws are white now she was red in colour also but I notice a bug difference in her colour she's getting so white I just want her to be with me forever my wee furbabys

jjs1985 my mother in law had a German shepherd she was a great dog and hyper all the time lol

slightfoot omg is she 20 shes a wee cutie thats a brilliant age aw were they 17 thats a great age hopefully I will be celebrating my girls birthday when they are 20

kate1310 yes she has done really well but she has a few health issues now, they can't be fixed without surgery which she can't have due to her age and heart murmur, soo it's a case of making her comfy, plenty of treats and cuddles untill they time comes, probly a few months at best xxxx

slightfoot omg thats so sad big hugs must be terrible for you my wee leyna has a slight heart murmur hopefully hopefully nothing comes of it give her an extra big hug from me take care x

kate1310 they break our hearts in the end, but she's had a great life, and she's living her last few months like a little queen, fish, chicken and treats on tap, heated blanket and loads of fuss and cuddles. The heart murmur is only a problem now because she is sooo old, her son lived with a heart murmur from birth and it never caused him any problems, so I'm sure your little furbaby will be ok xxxxx
