What pets have you owned?

[Floogal]

Just for fun, what pets have you owned? Including during childhood. I have put an asterisk by the ones I still have at present. Also what pets would you like to own?

Mine are

2 dogs (jack Russell)
4 cats
hamsters (Chinese and Syrian)
mouse
aquatic frogs (African clawed* and African dwarf)
tropical fish (guppies* Mollie's, silver shark, neon tetras).
freshwater fish (normal goldfishes, comets, blackmoors, orandas).
rabbits

I'm interested in keeping budgies and a chinchilla. Thinking of getting gerbils for DS as a starter pet

Horses
Degus
Rats
Hamsters
Gerbils
Cats
Dogs
Fish (both indoor and pond)
Stick insects (if they count as a pet 😄)
Rabbits
Guinea pigs
Budgies
Finches

I only have a cat and pond fish now. I have no idea how I had the time and patience for the above list as my cat tips me over the edge all on her own!

So so many cats!
2 tortoises - including one that 'ran' away from home...
A plethora of fish
Chickens
Ducks

Couple of heifers
