No. of pets

[Miss Z]

How many pets have people had in their lifetime so far??? I have had 14 in total ( i am 13). Compared to my friends, i've had loads! I've never been without a pet my entire life:D ! but it seems in other places around the world this is not really a lot. Do other people have loads:confused:

[slleipnir]

I voted 26-30..I don't really know exactly. I had 1 dog growing up...then I had various hamsters, gerbils and fish. I had a bird, frogs, 3 cats and 3 dogs (including Rufus...who I grew up with)

[BitsyNaceyDog]

In my life, huh. Lets see...
Dogs-6
Cats- 10
Rabbits-3
Ferrets-1
Chinchillas-3
prairie dogs-1
mice-3
hamsters-4
Birds- 14?
snakes-6
iguanas-1
tortoises-3
Fish- unknown

I feel like I'm forgetting something.

My list adds up to 55 not counting the fish (I have no idea how many fish I've had in my life thus far).

[Jessika]

Well I won't count the fish since I was too young to know how many and even really remember them lol

dogs - 3
cats - 6
turtles/tortoises - 5
ducks - 2

I read wrong and voted wrong, I voted for 0 - 10 but I should have voted one up :(

[Buddy Blaze Lover]

Let's see...

Dogs - 3
Guinea pigs - 2
Fish - 5
Cats - around 12

I can't think of any others...I've had at least over 20:)

[k9krazee]

Well presently I have 13 total (5 dogs, 4 cats, 3 g.pigs, gecko)

I've had 2 dogs (Lenny, Simba), 2 guinea pigs (Zorro, Prince), 4 cats (Gizmo, Lucky, Lucy, Jewels), Bird (Trigger), Ferret (Sugar) and numerous fish.

edit...whoops I forgot all of my small pets :o

2 Teddy Bear Hamsters (Teddy & Speedy)
2 Dwarf Hamsters (Fred & Dino)
4 Mice ( Boo Boo & Yogi, Baby & Chewy)

18+13...I'm up to 31 :eek: and I only voted for 16-20...

Turtles - 3
Hamsters - 3 I think
Fish - we had a lot of fish at one time, I don't remember how many, but it was a huuuge tank.

[sammy101]

i've had...
dogs-4
cats-2
and some fish,but i dont remember how many we had :p

[Suki Wingy]

I have lived with lots of pets my whole life but only really had 6 move my own (or "the whole family's")

[Kfamr]

Wow, you all have had lots of animals! :eek:

I've had 3 dogs (current)
3 current fish and i'm really not sure how many others. A majority of them lived looonnngg lives, other than the ones stupidly bought from Wal-Mart.

[IRescue452]

I voted 31-35. Various gerbils and one dwarf hampster. A few rabbits. A pigeon or two. 4 dogs. 10 cats. I only counted adult coakroaches so five roaches. 4 fish, not including guppies. 1 snail. 1 turtle. 1 snake. Several toads. 2 wood frogs and a western chorus frog. One blue tree frog. A green chamelion. I think thats it.

[Corinna]

I know I forgot lots as they were classified as 4-H projects so actually more but I put 11-15 I grew up on a farm.

[Felicia's Mom]

I have had dogs-2, cats-7, canaries-3, and Guinea pigs-2

[lv4dogs]

I don't know exactly, but I know it's into the hundreds. I'd guess about 325-350 pets.


I used to raise hamster & gebils & I remember having a little over a hundred at one time. Then I got into breeding rats and the most I had at one time was about 65 or so. And I know I had about 20-30 of each before & after that count. Then I gave up breeding rodents and everything. Since then I've had about 15 pet hamsters, about 65 pet rats, 5 dogs, 2 cats, 7 ferrets (had 2, have 5 now), at least 2 pet mice and an aquarium with assorted fish.

I also fostered animals but I didn't count them, there has to be about 35 dogs, cats, ferrets, rats, hamsters etc... that I fostered, or rescued on my own & found homes for them.

I also used to breed mice for feeders. I actually just stopped breeding. I currently have have some left. At least 2 of them will remain my pets, 3-5 of them I might breed again I might not, then I have 6 babies that I'm not sure if I'll keep as pets, breed again or feed.


EDITED! I wasn't even thinking. A lot of the hamsters, gerbils & rats wouldn't be considered my pets as I gave some away. But I did keep about half of them as pets.

[areias]

I voted 16-20, but that's wrong because I forgot about all the hamsters I had when I was little.

Dogs-5 (One had seperation anxiety and my parents put her down, one got hit by a car, and I have my 3 now)
Bettas-3 (I won't count regular fish)
Horse-1
Cats-4
Birds-1
Mice-3 (kind of 4, but the last time i had mice, i got two and they beat up on each other so i gave one away)
Hamsters-6 (and then one had 3 babies, but she ate them soo..)

So I'm more in the 20-25 range.

[manda_moo87]

20, I think, maybe a few over.

[wolfie]

4 birds
2 hamsters
2 dogs
2 guinea pigs
1 rabbit

and do I count fish?
11 goldfish I can think of... probably more
1 betta fish
