6 rabbits, an ex stray cat and a variety of fish! I was after a goat but he said no!
Had gerbils when I was young - ended up with hundreds! Also had three dwarf hamsters - one called stumpy because he only had three legs! (sorry if that's mean, I was young!) I'd forgotten all about him!
I should of guessed from your username tbh :p
I saw a feature on tv the other day about a couple who had a goat farm, and I was like WANT.
My second syrian hamster only had three feet! My father called him tripod :'(
Sorry, I appear to be derailing le thread with interrogating everyone about their pets =S
And Lio, I'm jealous! I'd love to have the room for a few chickens!
My dad wants chickens... he keeps saying he'll buy them. He did say that he wanted geese but I made him draw the line!

I want to meet your zoo, Jenna.
And there's no problem derailing the thread with animal-related awesomeness! My cat is currently sat on my knee, scared because we're looking after my grandma's puppy for the day (I forgot how crazy puppies can be!), though she's with mum right now - I don't know why Jess is scared, Gretl (the dog)'s smaller than him! And then my other two cats (rescue cats) are in different room. Honestly, it feels like we've got a zoo going on here!
Hi I'm Ann Marie I feel old in here at 37 currently sat at my desk in work not doing very much, and for those interested I have a cavalier king charles spaniel called Millie
I haven't read the whole thread apologies, but hello :)
I'm Alex, graduated in June & now work in recruitment. Woopwoop.
I don't however have any pets, and never have! :(
"Be nice. Think happy thoughts. Champion silver linings. Love all things (not just cute things like babies and kittens) & when you do love - love like they do in power ballads (you know like on a cliff with the wind in your hair and your eyes shut, knowing you'll never know love like this). Watch out for dog poo. Smile at people - even grumpy ones. Remember anything is possible & whatever you do always try to look on the bright side."

"Romp' is just fine.
*waves* to shiny new peeps.
I'll add to the zoo bits; we have a shepard/collie X (Tye, 12), a coonhound (Dutch,11) and our 'not so new' puppy, husky/malamute (Sasha, 1), plus our cats; Shelaighley (mom) and Nimby (baby)...all rescues.
So, a bit of a zoo.
And my poor mother, who is staying with us atm, and who is not used to more than one pet at a time!
^ We introduced our cats slowly because the two rescue ones were new and Jess was here first, so we're still working at it. They're no trouble though really :). But some don't get along... which is annoying but nature, I guess.
I have little to add (very rarely post in Vets), but chickens are awesome. They pretty much look after themselves. Feed them in the morning, and put out water and then they'll also eat your scraps and give you eggs in return for your kindness.
I spent part of my time in France looking after chickens. And a few ducks. They were my babies, and they definitely came to know me as the food woman. I even saw the chicks hatching, most amazing thing ever!
