No. of pets

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.

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.
