hehehehe, Logan. Yeah, the hermit crab experience was too traumatic on the little one!!! She says she never wants another one. I didn't think there was any reason for vet visits or spaying, but when in doubt, ask. I didn't wnat to be a bad mom. I know their average life span is around two years. Our wheel is plastic. I don't know how well that will hold up. I had a hamster when I was little. Everytime she escaped, I found her in the same spot in my closet. I never learned to keep my closet clean though. I'm gong to move Baby to my daughter's room. Her door is always shut and that way if Baby gets out, the animals can't get to her (unless Baby sneaks under the door).
Zippy-kat, thanks for the compliment on the horses. Their names are Yankee and Rebel. Rebel is in the first picture. He's an eight year old Quarter Horse. Yanke is a 16 year old Arabian. I've had them for six years now. I wish I had a little more time for them, but that will come when my daughter gets older and more dependent.
