Do you have a unique pet or would you like to have one?

We used to have several guinea hens, but they were all killed by owls late at night while they were sleeping in our windowsills. We do have a peacock and 2 peafowl still though. The peafowl are mean little suckers and they chase the cats around the yard sometimes. The peacock is pretty nice and very beautiful with all his bight feathers.

Hubby has thought that he would like a hedgehog. That would be pretty unique! It would be impractical for us to have any living pets where we live, at least at present, so we will have to think hard and long about this one. Otherwise, I would be right out to your place trying to get you to give me one of those little goats.

nope but i am a unique one

Mostly I've had cats, dogs and fish. My Dad had a pet goat for a few years that was named Ace but he had to give it away b/c it kept attacking thier cars and trucks. One of our foster kids had a pet Gecko for a while that he named Gieco LOL **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

We used to have an iguana. When we got him (some lady was giving him away for free) he was about 3 feet long. He had a giant cage in our bedroom, and during the day, he would free roam in our bedroom, he only slept in the cage at night. He was so funny! He grew to about 6 feet long. Unfortunately, we found out we were pregnant with baby number 5, and the baby had to sleep in our room, which meant his free roam days were over. I was not comfortable leaving him in his cage all day every day, so we gave him to a friend of ours that raises various reptiles. We still visit him often, and he is one big ol guy now. LOL He was awesome, and someday, when the kids are all bigger we want to raise another one.

My unique pet was a squirrel. We had raised him from a baby, my son had found him on the side of the street after it had rained and he brought him home. He was probably 4 to 5 weeks old at the time. We had him for 7 yrs., and he passed away Sept 2007. His name is Junior and there isnt a day goes by that I dont think about him. The state I live in I wasnt suppose to keep him for a pet, but he was unreleaseable because he wasnt afraid of cats or dogs, and we were afraid he wouldnt last long in the wild. He became sick and I couldnt find a vet to help me, I was able to find antibiotics and we thought he was going to be all right, but it wasnt to be. I have a photo of him sitting on my husbands head, he was truly a good little guy, and is missed very much.

LOL! that is so cute! I love that story, and I think its pretty neat when animals adapt like that. I have a box turtle that I love. He is not too unique, but I do love him. I Would really love to one day own a flying squirrel! Flying squirrels are the oldest living line of modern squirrels (modern, as opposed to their precursors, the early-Eocene squirrel-like rodents called "paramyids"). Evidence of their relative's existence goes back to the late Eocene period, between 38 and 55 million years ago! Tree squirrels made their first appearance on this earth during the late Oligocene period, about 30 million years ago. Ground squirrels came in waves, with some appearing 28 million years ago (very late Oligocene period), late Miocene period (8 million years ago) and very late Pliocene period (2.5 million years ago). http://www.flyingsquirrels.com/origins.html
