Re: How many animals are you housing?

Hmmmm.... 25 snakes (before babies come along), 3 retired racing greyhounds, 2 cats, 3 White's tree frogs, 3 pet rats. If I counted the aquarium fish along with their shrimp / snail cleaning service that would just be insane. I figure 77 fish in various freshwater tanks and an indeterminate number of aquatic invertebrates.

I can't cram but a very few more snakes into the snake room, I'm not allowed to add any more fish tanks ("It looks like Scripps Aquarium in here!" laments my husband), we're at the county limit for dogs and our 2 cats will murder any interlopers so I guess we're nearing the end. I still want red-eyed green tree frogs though, dang it.

Will have horses when we build on our acreage. That's some years out though.

Re: How many animals are you housing?

I don't have a lot of room in my apartment left.... but I have 1 snake (hoping for 1 more), 2 betta fisheses, 2 cats, 1 brat rabbit, and 1 horse (boarded else where). For me that's a good number. I would love to get my rabbit a friend but I'm kind of pushing it with the 2 cats and 1 rabbit. But he has the kitten to play with.

Re: How many animals are you housing?

I havent been on in awhile, thinks have been way crazy for me.

Im thinking about getting a couple of pet rats if I can find some dumbos.
And Im also debating on selling my fish tank, its such a pain to keep clean.

Re: How many animals are you housing?

Reptiles-2
Gerbils, mice, guinea pigs, fish, crayfish, chinchillas, cockatiels, diamond doves, dogs, cats... I'm gonna have to go with the 50+ to be safe. The guinea pigs are the most demanding and greatly reducing. I got in over my head there. I knew it months ago and was just seeing what situation I could work out but I cut over a dozen from my herd last weekend. The diamond dove project is the replacement guinea pig project except I'm keeping one little group of show quality and the giant cuy which are the same species as our pet guinea pigs but raised for meat all this time in south america. My boar's sire was 8lbs and at a bit short of a year old my cuy is easily longer than a ruler.

Re: How many animals are you housing?

18 in total here: 2 cats and 16 snakes. Once I get to breeding, it could be easily over 100+ (at least 5-7 different projects I am working with). But that will be in a few years.

200 is so much. Makes me wonder how those who produce more then that manage it all! Especially those that don't do it full-time.

I generally aim for 120 - 140 babies a year with the pythons. The boas will be breeding soon but I believe we will be staggering their breeding so we don't end up with 300 babies.

Re: How many animals are you housing?

Right now I have 3 snakes, 2 geckos, a cat and a dog. Although that number could very soon here drop to just the two geckos along with the crazy two year old human
