To knock on neighbours door everytime their bloody pet wakes me in the night...

[DrDumbass]

One of my neighbours has recently acquired a pet that is kept in the garden, in a hutch. It has kept me awake pretty much every night since they had it as it makes a loud, almost chirping noise pretty much every 20 mins to half an hour every night.I work 40 hours a week, have a 2 yo son and are entertaining my family this weekend for my grandads 90th. I feel absolutely fucked.What the hell kind of beast of burden do they have over there and what can I do about it?
Just realized I have posted this twice, sorry am very sleep deprived.....

They are bloody noisy. I'd go and tell her they are keeping you awake every night op, and ask what she plans to do to solve the problem.

This thread is the most fun I've had in years.

Capybaras as pets indeed.

I'm guessing it's a meerkat. If you get an eagle owl and sit it on the fence, the meerkat will shut up pretty quickly, and your NDN then will have to deal with a hooting owl.

To be fair that's fairly bloody constant noise.

Ring the council.

Capybaras as pets .

There was a Mumsnetter many years ago who saw a herd of wild capybara in a field in Norfolk. They escaped from a zoo and have been living and breeding in the wild.

More likely to be a herd of coypu, they roamed wild in the Broads until the late 80s. Look like capybara, but a bit smaller. They do whistle to each other.
