    I voted 4-8...and I have 11 pets now (5 dogs, 3 cats, 2 guinea pigs and a gecko).

    I could see myself in the future owning 4 dogs (all spaced apart, unlike my current situation) and maybe a couple fosters. I don't think I'll ever get anymore rodents, and definitely no more geckos.

    I voted 1-4. I have 4 pets now, 3 dogs and 1 cat. In the future I might see getting another cat (or if my dreams ever came true a horse or two ) but I think 3 dogs is my limit. I like small animals, but I don't like taking care of pets in cages and also Adele would go crazy so owning them is not really an option.

    I voted 4-8. I will most likely have two dogs or three. No more then three at a time. Maybe 1 cat. No more then 1 cat though. I would also like to get a rabbit and a 2 fish. So that's a total of 7 pets. That's to little in my book, but that is probably all I would be able to afford.

    weeeell...........considering ALL pets I´d be around 12.........

    2 birds, but I want to get a companion to each one I have now
    7 fish, I think I´m fine with those but who know what happens at betta shops
    3 dogs, I would love to have 4 but three will do for now (If I could I would have 100´s, but they are a handful, once I had 13 , great work Tamara!!)

    now for the ones I´d like
    1-2 cats and 1 rabbit

    I dunno. If I have land, probably about 4-5 dogs, a few rabbits, a goat and or cow, and a few horses. In a recular house, about 3-4 dogs, a bunny, a few rats, and one horse (boarded)

    I can easily handle my pets I have now, but in the future, I plan to only have:
    1-2 dogs, a group of 6 or so male rats (no females), 3-5 birds or so, & 20-40 fish.

    Keep in mind that those fish won't be bettas^^ They'll be community tanks & the like.

    At the moment, I own 1 dog, 1 cat, 7 rats, 4 mice, 1 hamster, 2 birds, & 20-some fish. Plus dad's dog & my sister's cat that is staying here. Its not too much for us.

    I can't really say what my "IDEAL" number is. I have 16 cats now, plus a few fosters. But is it ideal?? *shrugs* I really do enjoy having many cats though. If I had, let's say, less than 8, my house would feel totally empty!

    I can never see myself with a dog! And I have had small mammals in the past, but I don't think I will again. The time for cleaning and time for individual attention is impossible to find.

    I think as long as you can take care of the animal and carry it to the vet when it needs to be carried then it's ok to have as many animals as you want. We have 3 dogs, 3 cats, 10 ducks, 3 birds, 1 rabbit, 1 goat and some fish right now. But, I think as long as the animals get what they need then it's alright to haev as many as you want.

    I have had 20 birds a few times but most where wild babies I then let go.

    I dont mind my number going up when we move I shall probably have 15 pets at the most but counting baby birds probably more.

    for all pets i really don't know. it depends on the kinds of pets. my cat limit is probably 2 or 3. my dog limit depends on my living situation. in Nashville my limit was 2. here, i could easily house 6 dogs.
