Ok so we have seven

House cat, house rabbit, canary, 2 gerbils and 2 fish.
Our house is more than big enough for them and their enclosures gives them plenty of space. First question, Aibu for having so many haha? And second how many do you have?
My name kinda says it all... Grin

2 cats. I would fill my house and garden with animals but dh is very unreasonable.

I'm working on bunnies but no luck so far the bastard

1 African grey
1 Indian ringneck
1 eastern rosella
1 house rabbit - well he is now since we rescued him.
Dds also Pet board so we have numerous animals in the house at any one time. We've got 2 house rabbits and 2 ferrets at the moment. The ferrets are outside.

4 dogs, tropical fish tank full of fish, 2 rabbits and 2 guineapigs.

we have a lot, 2 rabbits (they live outside), 4 cats, 2 dogs and 5 fish! (but fish hardly count, do they?). We have a lot of love to give in our house and plenty of room, plus there's no squabbling between the cats and dogs which is great!

Two house cats and a puppy Grin

2 tortoises
Tank with 7 warm freshwater fish and about a zillion water snails. Snails aren't really pets though - more like glass cleaners and fish food.

I'm hoping to adopt one more tortoise.

Kids desperate for a dog but no way with the long hours we work. Otherwise it's 2rabbits , 4guinea pigs, 1 hamster , a load of weird and wonderful insects that I tend to avoid, fish in the pond and 2 horses which are out on loan until I've got less work on and have enough time and money again.....fingers crossed. The rabbits and Guineas take up a huge amount of time considering their size as the hutches/runs are cleaned out most days , their massive runs take up most of our little garden!

Fibbertigibbet · 21/05/2017 22:55

2 cats. If I had things my way, it would be 4 cats.

Northernmum12 · 22/05/2017 00:00

5 horses, 3 dogs, a cat and 2 rats or as I like to call them 'too many'
Wouldn't be without them though

FairyDogMother11 · 22/05/2017 00:01

We have 2 greyhounds and DP also has an ancient bearded dragon Smile

I don't like animals, so just a fish tank for us, although there is a nest of baby swallows on one of our walls.

3 dogs, 4 cats, a horse, a pony, 4 sheep (totally aodrable), and 16 chickens - all our animals are rescues apart from the sheep. Picked up the latest 6 chooks yesterday - mainly bald but so happy to be out and about in the paddocks.

jarviscockatiel · 22/05/2017 18:31

A free-flying cockatiel, 5 chickens, a rabbit, a tortoise, an African pygmy hedgehog, 2 gerbils and a million fish (they keep breeding!!)
