[mumofbeautys]

Dear Santa I want

A real micro pig
A real tractor
A tree
Snail farm
Shovel and spade
Mud pit
Chicken house
Hedgehog

Do u Think she may be disappointed with Xmas this year lol

[MyCarHasBrokenDownAgain]

Have just uploaded a picture of one of my snails for you! :) Though tbh I would get captive bred ones if they're a child's pet unless you are very strict with hand washing etc as wild caught can carry some nasties.

[mumofbeautys]

I can't get anything that is likely to carry anything as she is prone to infection .. also no like furry pets either xxx do u need to feed them lol x

[thebody]

shovel and spade sounds a bit deadly!!

[MyCarHasBrokenDownAgain]

Yup, have to feed them :) They usually just have a varied selection of fruit and veg ... current favorite is corn on the cob. They also need a cuttle bone for shell growth ...

I wouldn't imagine captive bred snails would carry anything, though there are lots of snail sites you could ask on.

[mumofbeautys]

Lol the body I'm scared it's for Santa if he doesn't bring the micro pig x

[sandiy]

Does she mean fur real as in fur real friends? They have some cute piggies Failing that Have you planned any trips away because pennywell farm here in Devon could provide the experiences she wants.Egg collecting goat milking lamb feeding and micro pigs It's lovely.I don t work for them by the way just have had some amazing times there.You could get here a "magic ticket" so she can have all the things she would like.Download loads of pictures links etc.Maybe do a scrap book

[sandiy]

Oohh or a guinea pig I love mine they are lovely lovely animals and can live indoors.

[mumofbeautys]

We can't go to the farm her immune system v weak at the moment and can't have furry pets x
What the fur toy pig things ?

[giraffesCantGoGuising]

A real tractor - that sounds fun

[MrsOakenshield]

shovel and spade?? I am impressed that she knows the difference! (I don't. I know there is a difference, but not what it is. Different shape? Usage??)

[mumofbeautys]

I don't think there is a difference lol

[MrsCakesPremonition]

Spades are for digging holes - they are vertical, smaller and sharp.

Shovels are for scooping up stuff like snow or manure - they are horizontal, large and wide with turned up sides.

[Mummytotwox]

My daughter told me I was soo meannnn today and cried and hid away.. Because I would t buy her a real horse.

[mumofbeautys]

Lol Mrs thanks for that .. Don't think she's know that though but would be impressed lol

[mumofbeautys]

Oh mummy between us we can open a farm lol

[youarewinning]

She sounds fantastic! I bet she'd love a farm themed room - can you get farmhouse type wendyhouses - you the know the ones that pop up? Sounds like she's imagining the outside world whilst she's inside poorly and you bringing it inside will be amazing.

[ThisIsBULLSHIT]

You can get her a tree! DH got one for his godson once.
And a shovel.
And some giant African land snails! (Although they breed a LOT)
And a mud pit.

And maybe a chicken if you have space!

[Mummytotwox]

Let's do it ;) ha

Thing is she does go riding every week, but that costs enough as it is ATM!

[UniS]

when you don't have the space for a "real tractor" these are almost as good.bruder toys
Hours of play value. things work, like loaders, tipping mechs, telescopic reach arms AND the steering ( thanks to a sun roof and and removable steering wheel on an extension ).
My DS now age 7 still plays with his bruder tractors and trailers. moving stuff around. When he was given his telehander aged 3 he treated it like a pet.

[StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes]

here is a fur real piglet

[YoDiggity]

Does she need to stay indoors a lot because of her health issues? She sounds like she is craving the outdoors.

Can you take her somewhere where she can do 'farming' without the livestock? Do you have a balcony for growing things?

[mumofbeautys]

Yo dignity at the moment yes .. both my girls have cystic fibrosis . And hers has been severe leaving other complications at the moment her immune system is weak plus she needs her oxygen x we have no balcony or garden x

[Sparklymommy]

Have you considered a bonsai tree? You could make a little garden in a globe for her to tend to.

She sounds adorable and clearly adores animals and farmyards. I hope you can find a way to give her something akin to her list. Is her health always as bad as it is now or could a trip to a farm be arranged when she is feeling better?

[YoDiggity]

Where do you live? In a city? Which one?

[mumofbeautys]

She will eventually need a transplant x

And we live in London x
