Kaoskat - DO YOU HAVE A SQUIRREL AS A PET?!!

Sorry for shouting, but goodness me that is exciting. How did you get a pet squirrel?

[kaoskat]

Pocket was separated from his parents during Hurricane Katrina as a blind infant and hubby nursed him back to health. After numerous attempts to find a rehabilitator  to take him, he just ended up getting stuck with us permanently. He was actually released once but ended up back a couple of days later with a broken leg.  A few years ago he was give permission to stay by animal control because our area is too flooded with orphan squirrels as it is and few places are able to take them in. He's about 7 years old now and would not do well in the wild. They start getting slow after their first few years and end up getting killed in various ways when they aren't fast and agile enough anymore. We've raised a few others who were successfully released but Pocket is just a special case. I do NOT recommend squirrels as pets. They are very dangerous and vicious when they reach puberty, with rare exception. And they actually will go straight for your eyes when they attack. You always have to be careful with them (even Pocket) and remember they are wild animals not pets. They are alot of work and while they may be cute, they certainly are not cuddly. They really are not good pets.

It's really good that you're looking after him, if he wouldn't survive in the wild. I understand they're wild animals, I just always thought they were adorable and wanted one. I hope that one day I'll have a house with a garden where I can feed squirrels, since they're that tame in parks here that they will come right up to you. But obviously they have plenty of space to escape. I wouldn't try to keep one in my house! I do think it's wonderful when people rescue injured ones though.

To be fair, despite the fact that she is domesticated, I think my rabbit still has a lot of wild rabbit in her. She does not like to be picked up and she tends to run away from me quite a bit! She's getting better though, she's a lot friendlier than she was when I first got her. She still has her instincts though, and I think she believes I am a fox really, who is just spending a long time pretending not to be a fox and will eat her eventually 

Also, was one of your pics a hedgehog? Is that another rescue or is she a pet? My friend keeps African pygmy hedgehogs, they are very cute.

And there is a new baby coming home next week.. can't wait!

kaoskat, your babies are so cute! I just love Puni, how unique. But seriously, Luna is adorable. I heard Sugar Gliders were hard to take care of. I have a red-eared slider turtle too, actually my roommate and I take care of him together.
Are Shayde and Lady Galadriel pigeons ? ((I love pigeons, I think they make the sweetest noises- I live in a city and most everyone hates them, but I saw one injured a couple days ago and couldn't just leave her there so I got to take her to the rescue center, poor thing!))


This thread is making me homesick! Evelynea- PUPPY! Seriously some cute stuff there!!!

stopxmotion - Sundance looks like a little fox 

[Enolaalone]

stopxmotion - that Collie is adorable! I want her!

In fact, I want a lot of the dogs on this thread so far

Allie

And here she is trying to fit into her bed from when she was a puppy. When she was a puppy, she stretched out and barely made it across.

I didn't think I posted a pic of Noli........ She died a short while ago. She was a pet though. Well, she was a rescue pet. Her previous owners tried to give her to a rescue we sometimes foster for when they no longer wanted her. The rescue only accepts dogs and cats but they called us and asked if we would take her in, so we did. She was an African Pygmy Hedgehog.

Sugar Gliders can be difficult sometimes, but at least with Luna, once we got the hang of things it wasn't so difficult. Their diet requirements are sorta specific and complex but it becomes routine. Luna is super sweet and I think she may be easier than most.

Shayde and Gala are African Ringneck Doves. They can be really noisy and pretty darn picky about their food (at least our 2 are), but they are great birds if you don't mind their quirks. They don't really bite like alot of other pet bird species sometimes do and are relatively easy to care for if you have the space.
