I thought I would post a thread as to what pets I have, and hope that everyone will tell me what they have as well :)

Sadly, we lost one of our rescue rats this morning, so we are now down to 14 rats, 3 dogs, 1 cat, 2 ferrets, 2 degus, 2 hedgehogs, 24 adult chinchillas and currently 5 babies, 8 poodle mice, 2 spiney mice, 2 black bear hamsters and 2 tanks of fish (I think that's all :rolleyes: )

Welcome to Pet Talk!! What a crew you have there! I look forward to hearing about them all :)

I am so sorry you lost a beloved family member this morning. I know how it feels :(

What are poodle mice? Sounds cute :D

I have 2 dogs, a foster dog, a cat, and some fish. I pretty much always have at least one foster at all times.

Looking forward to hearing more from you :)

Hi!
I have 5 ferrets and 3 kittens. Pics are in my sig below. If you'd like to read how I got each furball you can visit my website(some of the pictures pages are not done, so if you click on a link and it doesn't go anywhere, that's why) The Fuzzy Krewe (http://loyno.edu/~tdomil)

Sounds like you have a full house. Must be fun. I'd love to see pics of some of your furries. Welcome!

A poodle mouse is a rex mouse and a satin mouse crossed to give the wavy shiney fur effect. Here is a picture :D These are actually babies, we don't breed mice, but the person we got the "girls" from mis-sexed them :rolleyes:

Hey, finally someone who has exotics like me! Yippe! I used to breed spinies and degus, and chinchillas and we begin breeding hedgehogs next spring. I will be getting a platinum female in a few weeks.:D You have rats, do you breed them? I breed a wide variety of fancy rats, including tailess. Can you post some pictures? We all love to see pics! How bout some spiny mice pics!? What color hedgies do you have? What color chins do you have? It is so cool you have exotics! yippe, welcome to the club. :D

You might want to mosey on over to the Small and Furries website to look at their albino and cream colored spinies. What type of spinies do you own?

Welcome! I am YellowLabLover's mom, so the kitty you see in my signature is the mackeral tabby she mentioned. The kitty is my only pet - I seem to be in the minority here! And yes, we do love pictures, so post away! Those poodle mice are adorable; I've never seen those before.

You might want to mosey on over to the Small and Furries website to look at their albino and cream colored spinies. What type of spinies do you own?

Let's see, I will give as much detail as to colours as I can, I have to name them all to keep track LOL:
Chinchillas:
Clifton - TOV white ebony m
Juliet - hetero beige f
Falkor - pink white m
Mina - white mosaic f
Krystal - standard/sapphire carrier f
a boyfriend for Krystal with no name as he arrives after x-mas - also a standard/sc m
Romeo - white mosaic m
Champagne - homo beige f
Pandora - hetero ebony f
Holly - standard f
Smee - hetero beige m
Bastian - TOV violet m
Wanda - hetero beige f
Rosie - standard f
Bernard - brown velvet/ebony carrier m
Pepito - pink white m
Chiquita - black velvet f
Pedro - standard m
Dana - black velvet f
Grumpy - hetero beige m
Viola - TOV violet f
Buddy - hetero ebony/violet carrier m

and the baby chins, going to their homes in the next 4-6 weeks:
standard m (not named yet)
standard m (Tick Tock)
hetero beige m (Littlefoot)
brown velvet f - Marissa
reverse mosaic f - Asia

OK, I'm almost afraid to tell you the rats and stuff, the list is so long, but here goes. We have some pedigreed rats that we let have one litter, as we wanted to keep some ratties and some friends wanted some, but otherwise we do not breed them. Here is a detailed list:
Ida - dumbo himi (pedigreed)
Gem - dumbo blue
Dahlia - dumbo platimun rex (rescue & sister to Belle, Sugar, Candy and Ling)
Belle - hairless dumbo
Ling - hairless siamese
Sugar - hairless standard
Candy - platinum rex
PC - possum faced dumbo
Mac - possum faced dumbo (they are bro's)
ok, these guys I am not sure of the names, the kids have it all sorted out:
2 black veriberk dumbos
1 black irish dumbo
2 blue dumbos

Hedgies are: An algerian chocolate (Orbit) and a brown (Pikachu)

Not sure of the spiney's, they are rescues as well

I have been to your site a long time ago....I just love those possum faced cuties! I think a friend of mine, James from South East Chins may have bought a chin off you? He's located in Virginia. That's how I got to your site a long time ago. I only have one chin, as you can see in my avitar. He's a PEW. I was told he was a WIlson White at first but obviously not, lol.

I breed fancy rats in many tpes: tailess, dumbo, odd eye, rex, double rex, velveteen, masked etc. I am also owned by 5 cats, and some strays around here. A tortoise named Luce Caboose, a white spot gecko, a super dooper mousie named Fred and other critters. You can see my avitar. Perhaps James was maybe interested in your degus. Oh well! I think your site is great.

I have been studying the algerian colors and I might actually get an algerian chocolate if all goes well. I'm still waiting on my platinum, which was VERY hard to find. I find the algerian colors more attractive. :) Welcome again, this place is great!:D

I know James, I use to talk to him daily LOL. He never bought a chin from me though. I agree, your chin is not a wilson white, they are VERY rare, maybe even non-existent at this point. Your chin is a pink white.

I posted a variety of pictures in the pet section this morning :D

Yes I know he is PEW. lol. I knew the first time I laid eyes on him. James claims to have a few Wilson Whites. I looked at his site but I don't see any, lol. I need to go check it out again.
