Which animal that isn’t a traditional pet would you most like if you could? A penguin or a cow for me.
One of my lockdown addictions has become cute animal videos on YouTube, particularly unusual animals being rehabilitated. I know it's terribly basic, but the heart wants what it wants, and this house beaver is just too much.
I'd have a honeybadger. Tough little bastards but cute too (if you ignore the snarly teeth and giant claws obviously). I'd name him Wilburforce Gibletmuncher.
Ive always liked the idea of some ducks waddling about the house. You can get nappies for them so they dont shit all over the house.
All I’ve ever wanted is a tank of Piranha but apparently they’re far too quick to CHOMP EACH OTHER so they’re difficult to keep.
With no thought for how any of them could logically be pets in real life, I want the following: Opossum Possum Wombat Capybara Tapir Hippopotamus Raccoon Alpaca Llama One of those tiny pigs Normal size pig and then your more realistic exotic/uncommon pets like frogs, puffer fish, African Grey parrots, hedgehogs, lizards etc I have successfully manipulated my Facebook algorithm to serve me almost exclusively animal stuff on my news feed (99% of my human friends are muted) and it’s such a happy place now
They had an axolotl for sale in the pet shop across the road from my old house. I felt it looked really sad.
These African pigmy goats look like amazing little things to have around: https://www.instagram.com/goatstigram/
A sheep farmer that I do the books for has llamas in with his sheep. Apparently they are excellent protection from foxes and dogs.
Yep, they're cool as fuck too. We went to an alpaca farm once just to hang around with some of the hairy bastards.
Because Stylish Anteater is a better idea in a Paris flat? Just the concept of a pet crow. A friend of mine had a crow as a child. His name was George.
