The Unconventional and Eccentric Pet Thread

[Lily Adler]

We all know dogs, cats, sometimes birds and fish are the ideal pets. But if you were to get an oddball choice for one, what would it be?

I use to have a pet ferret when I was younger... that was unconventional


if I had to pick one, now? Fennec Fox's are cool
(hypothetically speaking of course, owning exotic pets is abit unethical)

I would want a Raven.

I think even a regular fox would be very cool. I've seen pictures of domesticated foxes and I've always wanted one.

It's a living Muppet!

If I wasn’t such a nervous Nancy, I would love a pet hawk. Or an iguana even.

When I was a kid in California we had a desert tortoise that lived in our back yard. He was very cool. Ate lots of lettuce.

I used to have an African Dwarf Frog in my aquarium.

And speaking of frogs; I've strongly considered Dart Frogs before. They are only poisonous if they eat the right kinds of insects so after 6 months or so in captivity they are safe to handle, although I would avoid touching as much as possible. Bonus though: a lot of them are captive bred now so there is that much less ethical dilemma about any more wild caught ones being taken from their native habitat.

When I was a kid I thought about keeping snakes but that's not as appealing anymore. Plus my cats would love to try playing with a snake more than a frog.

a wombat!

 

[squeekness]

What does a wombat even eat? Lol....

 

[cregsim]

Man, Ferrets are awesome. Friendliest pets I've seen beside dogs. Very playful, intelligent and fun. Don't be shoeless around them, feet are delicious to them. Also, they are a bit of a flight risk when out of their cage. Keep doors well shut. Don't just jump on a wrinkly bed, you may crush him in his hiding spot. Also, they stink.


Most of the unconventional pets out there I wouldn't have due to the smell.

Hamsters, domesticated rats... I've heard pet rats being compared to dogs and having individual personalities.

I actually like the light musky smell of ferrets.

Outside of a dog or a cat, a ferret would probably be my choice, too.
