cool. our pets at home don't do them - where did you get it?

VivaLeBeaver · 08/09/2010 16:50

Oh yippy, another plattypus owner - didn't realise there were so many of us on here. We should ask for our own topic area!

Is it a semi-aquatic, egg laying mammal of action?

Bella32 · 08/09/2010 16:56

I reckon if both of us ask, we should just about swing it. Actually - you go ask. They'll do it Grin

EG - sorry but I can't talk to you as we own pets of differing species.

Ah, he has more than just rad skills, he has a beaver tail and a bill?

Chickens - my platypus is many things but it is not hermaphrodite. She lays eggs Grin

are they not classed as fish? or is that beavers?

bellabelly · 08/09/2010 17:35

Oh god I am soooo gullible, I actually thought 'oh cool, someone has a platypus??!!'

YABU this is the wrong section. idn't you know tat every possible topic on MN needs it's own special place to post. Sheesh!

Grin

We don't talk about Beavers, EG. May I remind you there is no 'Sex' topic on MN. But we do have 'Super Furry Animals'.

Now - what kind of message does that send???

really - monks ate beavers during lent because they were classed as fish because of the tail. if a beaver is a fish then obviously so is a plattypus. so begone to the fish department.

Wash your filthy mouth out, EG Grin
