Can we have a Mumsnet pet?

We could have a little window showing a webcam view of it on the right hand side of the site, if you can squeeze it between the adverts. It would be good for those of us who don't have pets of our own or who accidentally ate theirs.

I suggest a tank with a goldfish called Mr Fish. I would also like a miniature goat, but it would probably drown in the tank. Sad

How about a rabbit?

A fish is a ridiculous idea.

How's it going to drive a tank with no hands? Confused

Worra that's such a Dad joke! Grin

WorraLiberty · 04/11/2014 21:15

My Mum used to say I must have my Dad's sense of humour, because she's still got hers Grin

Beautiful rabbit tiggy. What about this one:

Micropigs grow in to huge big smelly porkers - no.

Axotleltlelelxlele called Aristotle sounds an interesting option.

TiggyD that is NOT a rabbit Hmm
And how did you eat your pet? What kind of a pet? Was it snake??

WorraLiberty · 04/11/2014 21:25

What about this lovely fella?

Nah, Justine will be fine.

I'm sure we'll be able to sneak a few of these guys in round the back ...

And who would bloody name them . Judging by the name posts on here . Poor bugger would have a horrendous name or no name at all.

AlpacaPicnic · 04/11/2014 22:01

I would like to cast my vote for a Pygmy Slow Loris.

Or a sloth.

And definitely an alpaca...

MerryInthechelseahotel · 04/11/2014 22:09

Would this one suit you juniper ?

OhYouBadBadKitten · 04/11/2014 22:15

Oi Lemon - where did you find my picture? That's an invasion of privacy dontchyaknow.

pointythings · 04/11/2014 22:20

OhIDoLikeToBeBeside · 04/11/2014 22:40

Definitely a pair of rats. Intelligent, affectionate, playful, and not universally liked. Grin

sillymillyb · 04/11/2014 22:46

Auto cucumber GrinGrin

Can I vote for a spider monkey please? We can train it to bring wine and nibbles when needed!

MollyAir · 04/11/2014 22:46

Oi. One of those is my ex.

StrattersFeeear · 05/11/2014 00:25

Pufferfish

Added bonus of being really rather lethal, Pig could easily wipe out a small village. And they look ridiculous when they puff.

Don't hold your hopes out on training them, I think that's luck of the draw. Mine are all lazy sods Hmm

They'll happily play rododentist with you though.

They'll be no fighting because it'll be me that gets to take it home for the holidays.

Fubsy · 05/11/2014 07:44

I'd love a sloth! Especially if it could be like the hamsters you used to be able to put in your Facebook sidebar that vibrated when you clicked on it.

Failing that what about one of these?
