Pet Problems

Ok, so I've been toying with the idea of getting a pet. More than toying with.

At first, considered a snake - my mother doesnt like snakes, and I'm not sure I could really deal with prekilling its food for it.

Then, i considered a gecko - but I wanted something with more personality, and more loving.

Then, I thought, why not get a ferret? They are cute, love me, and are wonderful pets. Erik said no, bad experiences with them when working at a vets office.

Ok, so, what's small, warm, fuzzy, and not a ferret, but still larger than a mouse? A Rat!

Guess what - parents say no to rat, or a mouse.

I'm down to gerbils, hampsters, and guinepigs. *grumbles*

Getting a pet should not be this hard!
