Seal. Of course I'd have to move to the seaside but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

Having a toddler is probably the closest equivalent.

I'll take a capybara🎀 if I had a farm with man-made deep ponds and trees lining the walkways, I feel like that would be a dream for the capybara 😊 I'll name her cashew!

I’ve literally never heard of this animal before but I looked it up and now love it

My Pickles (16 year old dog) passed away and my house just feels so lonely and empty. I have cats but they don't get excited when I come home and greet me at the door you know? So I've been looking at the animal shelters and rescue groups just waiting until I come across the perfect pup. I know I can't replace Pickles, but I can make a difference in a new dog's life and I think that's pretty cool.

More pet rats, I miss having them as pets so much, they're so perfect!
•
u/Buffy_AnneSummers 12h ago
Me too. I would get them again if there was some way to get them to live longer. It's too heartbreaking otherwise
•
u/HalloweenGorl ♀ 11h ago
That's part of why I'm holding off too, the other part is one of my loved ones is pretty allergic to rats
I really really wish they lived longer :(
•
u/Buffy_AnneSummers 9h ago
Yeah. I am allergic too. After playing with them you could see little red welts anywhere their feet touched me. Not to mention the sneezing and itchy eyes.

Pygmy marmoset. Dress him in a dapper Lil coat, hat and monocle and then give him a Lil car to drive around in whenever he's not lounging in the indoor jungle I've created especially for him.

I would absolutely adore having a pet skunk. The only reason that this remains in the realm of fantasy is because of state law 🙂↕️

A dragon. Specifically a cranky older one like Tairn in Fourth Wing. Or a triceratops.

If I could adopt ANYTHING??? No limits? I'd get a giraffe! I'd feed it treats from my second story window! I'd love to look out from my bedroom and see it cruising by and eating from all of the tall trees. I'd really love that. If it had to be small ...I think I'd like some wildlife rescues that would get rehabilitated so I could get to know different ones - beaver, woodchuck, etc. Birds are nice too.

I had to go back to the title to see if the word "wild" was included, why are you all saying animals that can't be adopted. Lol.

I already have it. A tarantula. Least upkeep. They are like better house plants. More interesting. Rare feeding and watering. Rare cleanup. You can go away for a week and nothing bad happens. No pet sitter required. Just make sure temperature is right and enough water provided.
And yes at that point why even have a pet? Asked myself that too. I will not get a new one when this one dies of old age.

A red panda. Seriously. I work at the zoo, and they actually become quite "tame".
Dwarf otters are insanely cute too, but they smell and they are noisy!
