It's messy & hard work to put an insect in a pot?

Maybe you're tired & cranky

HintofBream · 25/07/2013 06:32

It is better in a pot than in a bugwidge.

(Background info: a bugwidge is:

Bread
bug

As I alighted on this thread, I had the sinking feeling its another one of those hamwitch ones that goes on for 15 pages and achieves naught. Enjoy your day y'all.....

Is she allowed a quiet pet?

TantrumsAndBalloons · 25/07/2013 07:23

Well. I don't understand the pets at home reference tbh.

But, bugs in a pot?

Well depends what type of bug I suppose?

Sparklingbrook · 25/07/2013 07:24

Doesn't sound that messy and hard work. I don't imagine the bug is happy though. Poor bug. Sad Has it got food and water?

AKissIsNotAContract · 25/07/2013 07:24

Aloud bug? I would have thought bugs were pretty quiet.

I think it may be depressed and best that you release it......

BringBackBod · 25/07/2013 07:29

I would just set the bug free, it'll be easier that way.

Montybojangles · 25/07/2013 07:29

Are you saying she is not allowed any pet at all? Or just the bug?

Pets are good for children, teaches them some responsibility and caring.

Are you in the uk? If you describe the bug maybe we can identify it and tell you what it might eat.

It might be a bit cruel though if it's a flying insect and it's confined to a little pot. I also imagine it would get pretty hot in a pot in this weather.

redlac · 25/07/2013 07:29

Yawn

malcolmtuckersmums it wasn't really funny the first time either :)

CinnabarRed · 25/07/2013 07:30

Don't let her put bugs in pots because it's cruel to bugs.

The bug will not have made your DD poorly.

phantomhairpuller · 25/07/2013 07:30

Oh boy, you're back. And FYI- it's allowed not aloud Confused
