No real reason, just wondering if any of you have or had animals you couldn't bring yourselves to have ever again and why?

I will never own Russian dwarf hamsters again. Bitey little sods.

Budgies: Christ, the noise! Constant chirruping, screeching, grating sounds, and the ACKACKACKACKACK din from them when you're sat there and your heads splitting, just NO.

Dogs: Have 2 at the moment, I don't see myself having them again in the future, like toddlers, always wanting attention, barking at nothing, standing in the bloody doorways of the room I need to go in, trying to get on my lap when I have a hot drink, etc, etc, I could go on😂

Rabbits: Too upsetting when they eventually die, I always think they're like small dogs without the constant fuss!

Like the title says, this is a light hearted thread, I'd never hurt an animal despite thinking WHY DID I GET THIS BLOODY THING?

Over to you lovely ladies!

Mice. I had girl mice and 12 at one point after buying 2 pregnant females. They are so cute but smelly and it is hard when they die since the oldest one I had was 22 months old - there were some who died by misadventure and one blue girl who was an escape artist.

It did make me a vacuuming ninja mind but the heartbreak when they die sucks - any mouse more thatn 12 months old is certainly late middle age. I also bought them from pet shops - I was a child then, but it is best to buy them from a mousery or rescue.

I might have rats but mice - never again and the males cannot live with other males unlike rats.
