They do don't they?

My kids are desperate for a pet. Me, not so much. I've said they can have one that doesn't poo. I'm safe now, aren't I?

Unless they ask for a robot dinosaur, yes, I suppose so.

Birds don't poo. It's called something else, cos it's wee and poo at once.....I think. Could they use that as a loophole?

Owls make pellets don't they? Not actually poo?

I can recommend pet tarantulas, I have three Smile

Tarantulas use practically all of what they eat (mine like crickets, hate locusts). What they don't eat is turned into a tiny little white gooey blob, no bigger than a grain of rice and completely odourless.

If they happen to eject it onto the glass wall of their tank, it looks a bit like a tiny bird-poo, else the liquid evaporates and you're just left with a tiny white speck. Tarantulas only need their tanks cleaned out once per year.

They are the ultimate low-maintenance pets!

Of all the suggestions I thought I'd get, and therefore seriously consider, I never thought there'd be bloody spiders! I would rather run poo on my eyebrows that LOOK at a spider!!!!

Stick insects poo. And they're an insect so that's out.

What's that picture? A gnu?

if the op was planning on using this thread for proof I'm in the shit aren't I?

What about a Mayfly? They don't have mouths so surely can't poop. They only live a month a most so turnover would be high.

Perhaps there's a subscription service, mayflies monthly or something?

Or a pet rock? I'm fairly sure they don't either.

Poor kids, get em a pet. Something low maintenance like a hamster?

A genie pig? Does it grant wishes? Surely you'd put up with a bit of poo if you got free wishes. You could wish the poo away for starters.

Snakes.
They poop but not very much and it kind of dries and turns powdery, like dust I guess.
Or ferrets. Yes they poop but you can train them to do it in a Small corner tray that you simply empty.

Or a pet Furby? They just poo batteries.

Or, if your the 8 year old me, chickens, they poo eggs for tea. Smile

Choose your pet carefully, get two of them and they'll.... hmm...clean up after each other.
