955i Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Sparked by a thread by the venerable Evil Elvis, I wondered what odd pets people had. We hear a lot about dogs, cats, hawks, ferrets etc so wondered if anyone kept more exotic things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reece Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 We have two cockatiels. Not that unusual, but the second one was one we got from a local farmer who found it in his barn - must have escaped from somewhere. There's also a tortoise at home.

islandgun Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I have an eight legged dog with two heads and two tails. If it has two bodies then I'm guessing it's two dogs standing together, a quick test could be feed one head whilst throwing a ball in the other direction, if it seperates then voila two dogs if not then its real and only the third eight legged dog with two heads and two tails Ive heard of, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aled Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 My son used to tell his school mates & teacher that we kept earthworms as pets. We did have a bucket of worms living in the garage but they werent pets...as in theory they were working animals and they were supposed to catch sea trout. Something they failed dismally at!
