To ask you to send me money so I can....

[brasty]

buy an enormous field and outbuilding to house a herd of capybaras?

Overwhelmed with cuteness, I'll send all my money now. I will live in the field with all the splendid furrinesses.

I'll send you a million rupees if you agree to one giraffe...

Giraffes apparently cost $40k to $80k. A bit more than a million rupees.

I didn't say I was sending a million rupees to buy the giraffe 😝 My donation was if a giraffe would appear somewhere 😂

Oh, ok then brasty, the squid are in! It's upping the costs a bit to build an aquariam for fifty billion of them, though.

If we're having an aquariam, can we have baby turtles?

Yes, yes, yes to a Giraffe! They are a firm favourite in this household.

A few Seahorses/turtles/ducks too OP

Yeah I think an aquarium is a step too far, but just proving squids can look cute.

mustbemad Oh go on, buy me a giraffe.

I met a dassie on Table Mountain.

What about some Valais blacknose sheep?

Soupforbrains - are you sure???

I adore Capybaras! you can see them in the wild in the south of France. They're so gorgeous.

There are coypu in France, but how would capybara get there???

Moose Those sheep are gorgeous. Maybe I could get a couple for the garden? DP would like it as no more mowing of the grass.

I only need £2000 to buy two of those lambs. Plus a bigger garden realistically.

OMG Quokkas are cute but evil fuckers: mentalfloss.com/article/57159/6-things-know-about-super-cute-quokka

There are lots of coypu in France, similar to capabaya though.

Those sheep look like stuffed animals

OH will stretch to one giraffe if he gets to name it...

I also think you should have guard geese 😂😂

OP you could lamb share with neighbours & rotate the gardens they inhabit 😃

Can't send money, but would you be interested in a colony of Prairie Dogs for the Mumsnet Menagerie?

There are tons pa capibaras where i live. Here they are called capivaras. They are lovely and quite shy and they poop a lot! They walk around the lakes and will sometimes come closer to my dog and cuddle! (My dog ia trained and loves cats, rabbits, etc). Really cute.

Also you need a Jerboa

Can we have some chinchillas??

Inthetropics That sounds amazing. Guinea pigs poop a lot too. Love that they sometimes cuddle your dog.

I love the praire dogs falling over.

As long as I can come live nearby with a view of them from my window too. I love them! There are similar looking rodents that are small dog sized which I'd love too!

I'm in - but mainly for the otters
I would also love a weasel or 2 but as they are apparently viscious hunters it might not be a good idea

Have you been to Whipsnade Zoo? They have loads of capybaras wandering around there (they poo quite a lot....)
