Soooo I got to thinking of all the creatures I've had as a child and as a parent ..
Dogs , cats , rabbits , Guinnie pigs , snakes obviously , lizards , stick insects , all kinds of tropical fish ( faves were Discus and Lake Malawi cichlids ) plus Golden Tench ( stunning ) . Tortoise many years ago , two pet ducks , a pet Pike ( in a pond ) . Some Piranhas which were too hungry and too high maintenance and got traded for a colour TV
Also taken in loads of sick / orphaned birds over the years including a pyschotic SparrowHawk![]()
