My dad had a rat for a pet once. Long time ago, when he was a kid, during Great Patriotic War they were evacuated from Moscow to some village up north. He found a rat baby with a broken leg trapped in a rattrap. She was alive and crying. So he freed he, and took home. As dad told us, regular rats are actually very sweet, and very smart. He called her Zoyka, by his aunt.
Her bed was in an old show box, but she just loved to sleep above the oven (huge things in old Russian villages, there is a place to sleep on top of them, the warmest place in the house in winter). He did not let her go outside on her own because all cats and dogs would have been after her. She grew up very large eventually. When they return back to Moscow, he took her with him.sfinxCZ said:What do I wish - talking unicorn and snow leopard

Or Francesca had ocelotes? I am also with Daenerys Targaryen and her pet dragons. They are cute, you can potentially fly them, and they provide easiest way to do barbeques - just give an order, and fried meat is ready.

With rats for sure, and maybe also with mice, the females are definitely more intelligent. The females are more curious, more willing to explore and try things, more willing to learn; the males are lazy and territorial.
I think this has to do with how rapidly and successfully rats can colonize new places. Females leave the nest already knocked up by their brothers (they have no incest taboo), and they're off to do what they do best, which is find a new place to make a nest and raise babies. One female can take over a whole house, a whole ship, a whole island this way.
I have a new 340 litre aquarium, which is the new home to the fish I've had for the past 4 years. I have around 20-30 guppies or possibly guppie-endler hybrids -- I don't know what they are. I haven't had much luck keeping store-bought fish alive for more than a few months, but the fish that are born in my aquarium do well and I'm probably on my 5th generation of them now.
I also have a very big ragdoll cat. He's very cuddly and a total coward.

I have 4 turtles. When I come back home from work they are always happy to see me because I feed them.
Ah, okay. Sounds like an elusive specieshjorturerlendsson said:Well, there are apparantly six species and a lot more breeds than just the common one. It seems belongs to one of the other 5 than the common guinea pig, though apparently the danish name "dværgmarsvin", meaning "dwarf guinea pig" is not used for any of them on English, so I don´t know what species it is really! x)It´s also a bit sleeker than a normal one, not as chubby
A 340 litre with just guppies?! Sounds like they're very free to do what they do best then: breed.hjorturerlendsson said:

My husband adopted a stray cat that he called "Guppy" because she had a large belly. A week later, he was the owner of a cat and three kittens. That word has power.
I think she really has ocelotes, but this really didn't came to my mind, so thank you - I am changing my vote for ocelotes ... they are pretty much same like leopards and we will be able to talk about our pets with Francescavivaxardas said:Ciri and Francesca Findabair.

And there is always that little thing that you can conquer whole world with them (or at least one state near Pontar river

Yeah, I know. The problem is that I get my water from a river with a lot of dissolved minerals. Only African ciclids and some of the hardier live bearers will live in this water. Since breeding live bearers is easier I went for the guppies. I used to have sword tails when I was a teenager, but I hate the way species behaves. Guppies are much nicer creatures.
You need quite a bit of room for a iguana, they grow to 1.60m in about 3 years.mariobros777 said:

He (or she, can't tell yet) is still very skittish, but he is starting to calm down now. He does not seem to like my hand if I want to pick him up, but he really enjoys me stroking him when I'm holding him.

To get them to stay healthy you need a basking spot and UVB light. The spiraling lamp is a truelight lamp for reptiles.
I am a bit worried about the damaged spot on his back, I only noticed he had that after I bought him because he was shedding skin at the time. I hope it is just some damage and not a skin disease...

I also forgot to mention that we have a pair of kestrels in the back of the garden every year, which breed 5 chicks every year lol. It may be the reason that we never have problems with mice in the house anymore.
Don't have a picture of the bearded dragons at the moment, but they are as tame as you can get them. I usually let them walk around in the garden when the weather is good enough. They are extremely quick if they want to catch insects. They really seem to like bumblebees. They actually position themselves next to flowers so that the bumblebee is easier to catch.

I like geckos, my house is full, especially in summer. They take care of mosquitos and flies (when cats do not try to kill them first) ^^
Ah, I see. You may know this already, but Tetra has a good water conditioner called 'AquaSafe'. Maybe it would work on your water? My glass catfish kept getting sick and it stopped after I began adding AquaSafe. It's expensive, at least in Sweden, but it's worth it.Thothistox said:
