I,d advise you to get hamsters but guinea pigs is just as good ,but I honestly think chinchillas are the creme de la creme if you want a larger cuddly friend  thumright

its funny really, my girls had rabbits but they never did anything for me, we have had hamsters and rats too and sorry but I never liked them either!!
You can't beat GP's, do you think hubby would notice if I snuck some in down the garden????

I had a rabbit when I was a kid but I wouldn't get one now - not with a lurcher and her apprentice in the house!  We've also had a pet rat (belonging to my stepdaughter) who was lovely, but as we're trying to get the dogs to control the rat population in the garden, I don't think another pet one would be a good plan either!

This is also one of the reasons why I'm hesitating about the pigs ... I wouldn't want them to end up as lunch for a hungry hound!

mmmm I had forgotten about your dogs!!!
In the summer we had runs made that went on the lawn so they got plenty of greens, and kept the laqwn mowed, when we had the dog we just had to train him to ignore them, but does that work with lurchers?? I don't know!!

It's more Millie I'd worry about to be honest - she much more likely to kill something in the fields.  Penny more or less concentrates on bunnies but Millie will kill rats/mice/rabbits/birds/anything else she can get her paws on really  Laughing  Laughing  

The more I think about it, the more I think it's probably a bad idea (but that doesn't necessarily mean we won't do it anyway  Laughing  Laughing  Laughing )
