Unusual pets onboard?!

[Chris83]

I've searched the forum, and read a few old posts, but wonder what pets people have onboard.

In my current house I keep and breed a lot of poison arrow dart frogs, but have them all for sale due to space so will be building one large fitted tank.

What else do people keep?

I mean unusual like skunks, fennecs, ferrets, parrots, fish. Thins away from dogs or cats really.

Seen a few parrots on boats over the years.

Someone who posted in this similar thread from earlier in the year kept a full marine fish tank set up... I think it was this thread, anyway. http://www.canalworld.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=48110&st=0&p=895188&hl=+unusual%20+pets&fromsearch=1entry895188

This year I've got them... Do they go away on their own?

Only when they are singing an appropriate tune....

I replaced my leaking windows and most of the damp wood from under the windows, that might have helped.

Why? Is he a trained automotive engineer? Where's his toolkit?

We have a manic Hamster, screeches when it gets mad or frustrated and drives our dog mad when the hamster is in it's ball and bouncing of the dog's nose.

We passed a boat with an OWL on earlier this year.

I have come across a couple of boats with tortoises on them. We only have spiders.

There was a small carriage on the roof, to which the little horse was harnessed to take them to the pub.

Cheers for reply all.

 

Have been cad designing a large display tank for the boat, but also still looking into birds and other options!

 

Will give the horse a miss though!

On a boat I would worry about any tropical animal getting cold. Would have to look into the temperatures in the species natural habitat.
