7 Chickens, 4 Cockatiels, 2 Dogs, and 2 Cats.

1 Cat named Snowflake :wub: even though she's not white.

Two Boston Terrier's, Spot and Carly. The best dogs anyone could ever have in my books.

I used to have lots of 'strange' pets.

I had a pygmy hedgehog, alligator, dozens of hamsters, a rat, gerbil, too many wild birds to count, and I've had dogs all my life.

neat! :)

The only aligator I ever had, had me more than I had him!

lol. :lol:

I didn't have him for long though. Haha! The species I had would get up to 4 feet. I would of eventually had to turn the back yard into his habitat. I don't think my neighbors would have liked that too much. :D You know, kids playing in the yard... people walking around the block... alligator in the back yard. Lol, just doesn't work.

I'd rather have an orca in my backyard!!! lol!

1 Pekingnese/Japanese Chin Mix
1 Finnish Spitz

My wife was given a japanese spitz for a wedding gift. But we wern't able to bring it back over here, so she had to give it to her sister.

Finnish Spitz are cool. B)

Just this guy. :) Mac, the border terrier.

5 chickens, 1 cockateil (we ahve had about 6 in a year we have a bad record as far as cockateils go) 1 silky terrier, crickets (at first were food for my oscar but i really liked them so now they have a clear tupperware container in my room to call their home)

awww what a cuttie!! hey, my cockatiel is nearly 8 years old.

Leema: Mac looks exhausted! :)

I have two hampsters. The top one is Seb and the black one's Tess..

i keep these

whoa!! :o They are beautiful.... I love the first one.
The "prickly" looking one. :D

yeah B. mendica is an awsome its a desert species from africa. decently cheap because its kept by most breeders. if it were spring or summer i would send you one for the cost of shipping. but its too cold right now.

the other one is a common chinese . you can often find people giving them away. i gave away between 60 and 100 last fall.

At home:
1 Peek-a-Poo (Pekignese/Toy Poodle) Chewbacca~
1 Yellow Lab~ Raider
2 Cockatiels~Tiely and Gabby
and my brother has guinea pigs.

1 Betta Splenden~Ace~

Chewbacca looks cool erin B) ..excellent name too :lol:.

want another cockatiel?

How long do they live? I've got some that look like the second one, except they are green, in my yard.

most live a year. but the chinese live 6 months

Those mantis things (don't know common name) are awesome. What do you feed them? We usually find big green ones in our garden in the spring. Then we usually see little babies.

They look like the second one, most we see are green. I have seen a few brown ones, though.

no not really. I forgot, I have 3 horses.

crickets are like 12 for a dollar at the pet store so its what i useually use

but you can feed them virtuallt anukind of bug or spider . the big ones also eat mice and humming birds

this is a giant asian mantis they can draw blood from you if they get mad and they get like 6 inches long

omg that is crazy they eat birds :|

hummingbirds are protected by the law and die within an hour if kept in a house or greenhouse.

Hummingbirds are beautiful. My grandmother has one of those nectar feeder things that you hang in your yard. Lots of different types of hummingbirds come to it.

i somehow doubt that praying mantis cares much

why do they die

Not according to this source: http://www.waynesthisandthat.com/hummercare.htm

That's what I heard, but we have better technology now...

Hummingbirds can die within an hour if they stay active and do not feed from what I understand about them.

I have seen the videos of those south american mantis's catching and killing and eating hummingbirds on the discovery channel. It's an amazing sight, even if it is only on TV.

that's the only enemy of the hummingbird. ;)
