My husband always called me an animal hoarder but he seems to have gotten totally addicted to chameleons ... we just brought home number six today. I brought home the first one less than three months ago.

4 veiled
2 flapneck
2 cats
2 cockatiels
1 tarantula
2 ferrets
3 gerbils

and more bugs and worms and flies than I would have ever imagined having ... all in a 960 sq. ft. apt.

 

[Amanda1801]

Ha ha you guys have made me feel sooo much better! At the moment I have...
2 dogs

1 rabbit
1 hermans tortoise
1 sulcata tortoise
1 red bellied slider
2 yellow bellied sliders
2 adult axolotls and several eggs

On an unrelated note (ish) - what does it mean when you guys say you have 1.0 of this and 0.1 of that...?

I would like to show this thread to my wife so she would think I am not that bad but then she would know I am still aquiring more when I told ABSOLUTLY no more. Thanks to Ryan for the last one I snuck in. I will be moving to a new wall soon so it will be much harder to sneek one in then. I need to get rid of a couch so I can start on the next wall.

Animal hoarding is not about the number of animals people own.

I know there is a show about this and I am afraid to watch and discover I have a problem!

ANIMAL HOARDING IS NOT ABOUT THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS PEOPLE OWN.

There is a difference between responsible animal care and people who are overwhelmed. Having many animals requires time, money, space and knowledge. People who irresponsibly keep large numbers of pets are harming both the animals and themselves, and they're harming the reputation of responsible pet owners. We consider anyone who tries to care for more animals than they have money, space and time for to be a potential animal hoarder who needs help.

For example, an exotic pet owner could keep 50 reptiles in their home without being considered a hoarder. However, if the owner is unable to provide the correct environments, veterinary care or meet the animals' dietary needs, then they have surpassed their capabilities and are no longer putting the needs of their animals first.

Thanks for clearing this up.

Should I not use a preposition at the end of that sentence?

 

[Cainschams]

I think you need another gym. Your hoarding seems to be getting out of control.

 

[Chuck G]

I will do it! My requirements are simple. I have to be nude.

 

[sdheli420]

ya i dont know if ied like to be labled "the crazey chameleon guy"

 

[camimom]

i dont believe any of on here are hoarders. As someone said, hoarders cant/dont take care of their animals. Im fairly certain we all do.
Besides, we INTENTIONALLY breed roaches, crickets, and worms. i mean, hoarders dont, so that HAS to mean we are sane people right? right?
Now for my list, which BTW, after reading everyone elses, esp ryans from jurassic, makes me feel soooo much better. esp when my sig other finds out what im about to do....
1.0 veiled, Kink
1.0 soon to be here turquiose hoehnelli (the what im about to do part)
1.0 ferret, Otter
1.0 siberian cat, Timber
.2 DSH cats, Sweet Pea and Tuxedo
1.0 8 month old english setter, Ammo
75 gallon freshwater tank containing gourami, shibunkin, bala sharks, other sharks, and silver dollar fish
.1 b**ch A** Red eared slider, Turtle (yes thats her name)
countless crickets, and various worms.
