Why are dogs and cats a no go if you have a spacious flat and time on your hands?

Get a fruit bat. I know someone that used to have 5 of them living in her bathroom. She didn’t tell me they were in there and I went to use the toilet and got quite a shock, they’re much bigger than you’d expect too when face to face with one

Cats need to get outside and you can’t really take them for walks like dogs.
Dogs..well i could have a dog but the shelters dont generally let people with small children in flats rescue animals for a number of reasons. Maybe one day Ill have a house and get one of my nans dalmatians 😉

How did it fly about outside? Was it trained to come back?

They were not domesticated but used to humans as they came from a zoo when it closed down and she was friends with the owner. She was only meant to have them a few weeks before they were sent to another zoo but ended up having them for a few months as there were complications with the transfer. She just left the window open and they’d come and go as they pleased but always returned as she provided a stable food source. Guess they had been taught to expect food from humans prior to her having them so them flying away permanently was unlikely.

Well, if it comes to low running costs and being “different”, a half brick on a piece of string just can’t be beaten.

Bloody useless at raising the alarm though. But handy for dealing with intruders.

Ozzy Osbourne had one when he was looking for a new band for his PA system, back in the very early 70s. You could always claim it’s a tribute to him.

I’m going to pick up my rats sunday night, three little girls.
The only problem is I need a stand for them or table because Lyla will have her little finger in the cage.

Yeah its quite big here in Brighton as this place prides itself in being green. (also lots of cheap- ass students )

The only problem is I don’t have a car and although I can sort one out freecycle is generally first come first served.
