To ask what is the worst pet you have ever had?

[TomLee475]

I had a cat for 3 weeks , first cat , didn't realise it scratched I was 16 at the time , quickly sent the cat back.

Ah you’ll get ripped to pieces on this thread. Mumsnet frowns on people returning pets - in a big way!

Hamster. Boring as fuck

Hamsters. Boring, noisy at night, smelly.

Hamster had stress issues used to trigger hibernation in any weather, also bit me a lot. Still didn't get rid of it though

I had a tiger. I had to drug it a lot or it would try and mail you to death. So it was actually quite boring

Maul you!!

I don't know why but I feel quite sure that the OP already knows that

Are you Siegfried or Roy?
I looked after our hamster but it gave me no joy

Goldfish... They just did nothing!!

Hamster, asleep all day and fucking manic and noisy at night...never again!

Gerbil. I had an old aquarium I’d happily kept hamsters in for years. Fucker jumped out on the first day. Never saw it again.

Definitely a Syrian hamster. Little bitey bastard

Hamster. Got pissed up one night (me, not him, man at the shop had promised me he was a him) got up with a massive hangover and he'd had six teeny tiny babies. Load of old shit. And also, they eat their babies if they don't get enough protein so I had to feed him rare roast beef for weeks til his babies were big enough to find homes of their own.

Hamster. It used to hang off my arm by its teeth.

Indian stick insects. Laid eggs like buggery and as they got towards the end of their lives their limbs fell off. They only ate privet and I live in an area where there are no privet hedges. Had to detour on my way home to get them food. Also boring as hell.

Cat.

Poops and vomits in awkward places. Keeps trying to trip me up when I’m coming down the stairs. Sneaks into my wardrobe for naps. Ripped my sofa arm to shreds. Tries to sleep on my head when I’m in bed...I’m sure he is trying to kill me...

Love him to pieces though! 😀

A vicious guinea pig. He could only be handled with gardening gloves.

Hamsters are winning

I like the idea of a tiger mailing you to death. I imagine it with glasses on end of its nose composing 'Disgusted of Chippenham' type letters

Hamster - used to escape all the time. He lived downstairs in the living room. One time he was missing for two weeks, and then we found him in my mum’s underwear draw. Which was not only upstairs but the top draw...

Goldfish. A PITA and really high maintenance.

@FudgeBrownie2019 oh my god ! I didn't know that.
I got a "boy" hamster when I was 11 and it was in my own.
2 days later my fat boy had tiny little babies.
I held them, I know I know I really shouldn't have.
She then ate some !!
It was all a bit traumatic.

A cockerel who was so ill tempered he had to be let out of the coop by someone sitting on the roof of the hen house and using a golf club to unhook the latch, or he would savage your ankles.

Hamster. Bloody thing was nasty. It hadn’t been handled prior to me owning it and it never got used to me and bit me all the time. Had to clean the cage out all the time and put it in a ball and that’s about it. Boring bloody thing!

My mum also bought us dwarf hamsters as a kid once. They were worse! We were told they were two females but in fact they were boy any girl and had babies. The babies are hideous. The thought of it makes me sick now finding them in the cage unexpectedly. 🤢
