Many of us have had at least one unusual pet during our lifetime. What is the most unusual pet that you have ever had?

I would say mine was a pet skunk. It was deskunked it could not spray anyone or anything. it would try but it had it's spray part cut. I had to get rid of her though because I had a cat that was there before her and she was mean to my cat and they would fight a lot so as bad as I hated to she had to go to someone else that wanted her. I did make sure that the people that got her had ferts so that they would be good for her insted of my cat of course we had had him for along time before we got her.

I don't think I would want a skunk for a pet, but I have heard of people having them. I can imagine the combination kept the fur flying. Glad you found a good home for him theough, Shaun.

I had chicks(babies of hen)and they were unsual to me because I actually hate them,and why I hate them is I am scared of them cause they are so soft and yukhy....My sister bought them for me which I really hate,and so they were very unusual for me..

We had baby chicks once when I was a kid. They were adorable. I didn't get to enjoy them for long, however, as they were just being incubated in our back porch for awhile.

Our dog is the most unusual pet I have ever had in my lifetime. He seems to understand what we are talking about, and seems to be so aware when we are talking about him. I used to think that dogs would only understand what their master is saying to them by the tone of the voice, but it seems our Casper gets my point even when I am almost whispering! He is also a very affectionate dog. He beats us to the bed at night when he knows we're about to go to bed. He just loves it when he's the center of all the attention, and he thinks he's in competition with our youngest child! He's almost human and seems to believe that he has just the same rights as every child has in this family.

Most of my pets have been dogs, cats, ginny pigs, and fish. But, my hubby's family had a pet monkey when he was growing up. LIVE IN PEACE

I had two monkeys and they hated my ex-husband. I guess they knew something I didn't. LOL

Mice? Eek! Oh, pyewacket, they are the bane of my existence. I will freak out if I even see one. Shortly after moving into the apartment where I now live(for over 5 years), I discovered that I had one of these unwanted guests. My sister and brother-inlaw had to go out and buy me some traps and bring them over. Then they had to stay with me for a couple of hours because I was afraid to go to bed. The trap caught the mouse overnight, and my brother-in-law disposed of it the following day. I thought I was going to have to move out if I saw another one, but luckily I have been mouse-free ever since.
