Most unusual pets?
    #19671627 -

I had three wild critters as pets. One was a beautiful garter snake about 16" long I found in the yard. I let him go after a few months.

My brother and I found an abandoned baby squirrel. (Its name was not Rocky! :nonono:) We nursed it until it was large enough to take care of itself and then released it at the nearby park.

Another time my Dad and I were hiking in a river gorge and saw what looked like a drowned rat stuck in the rocks with water flowing over it. It turned out to be a waterlogged, half-dead baby duck. We called him Chester and he was a real character. He quacked me up! When he was big enough we released him to the local duck pond. My heart sunk as he was mercilessly attacked by the local ducks, but eventually they accepted him.

Do you think it lived without the companionship of its mother or father? I am not sure how squirrel families work, but I know releasing a dog into the wild would kill it unless you somehow trained it to hunt food.

Did you train it or did it just meet other squirrels and model their behavior. Did you see this happen?


I liked having hermit crabs and watching them grow into different shells. They are fun critters to have just hanging around your room. They aren't too noisy or hard to maintain.

Maybe dogs can't but cats can easily be reintroduced to the wild, they adjust.

Had a few poet opossums, they smell funny but not nearly as bad as dogs

I've got possums coming out of ears man.

They live all around me and use my room as some kind of bridge between the neighboring trees, in the past they have even randomly broke into the house on a regular basis this one time there was a possum in my kitchen/living room area up high in a place I couldn't reach sticking its head out just staring for over an hour, and it kept coming back.

All that being said these guys make some of the foulest noises its really fucked up when they are defending a tree or something and keep making these guttural growls throughout the night.




As for pets most of them weren't too unusual but they were still random ,

A Rotweiler named rocky that was found off the street fully grown, died of eating snail poison,

Turtle caught fishing,

Stray American pitbull off the street/paddock,

Bird that was blind and died a day later,

Kitten of the wild cat family that was growing in my dads garden that eventually spread into to the roof and contaminated the place with piss.

I'm not sure why they didn't catch on as pets, they're pretty well behaved and tamable. Very interesting creatures to have waddling around. All the other ghetto kids used to run over and hang them off their arms, they say you can't do that but I've done it a hundred times :lol:

Opossums are virile creatures

I had a duck as a kid. It followed me everywhere; would sit and watch T.V. with me. When she got older we released her with some wild ducks at a local pond. She seemed to fit right in and immediately started socializing with other ducks.

She must have done alright, I would see her at the pond sometimes even a couple of years later, swimming with other ducks.  I could tell it was her because she was the only all-white farm duck amongst all the wild ducks.

My mom used to have a pet skunk. Apparently it was a dude-magnet.

My grandad owned a pet shop and they would sell all kinds of things.  My dad got salmonella from bathing with an otter my grandad had on hold for a customer. I wanna take a bath with an otter.

One of the strangest pets, though, is my mom's parrot. He is 38 years old and laughs like a drunken sailor.

He has such personality and has a love-hate relationship with me. He will act like he is in love with me, but then always makes this gesture which is his equivalent of flipping the bird. He bites his perch and growls at me repeatedly.

He is neurotic and cunning and sometimes intentionally rude. He loves animated conversations and will laugh and make little comments like "oh my god" and "whoa!" and "oh yeah?" when two people are talking.

In spring he likes to masturbate to himself in the mirror.


--------------------
It's weird, though. The other week, I just sat in the garden, slobbering. Just to see if it would ever run out. And it's amazing! Where does it all come from?
