Lol. Yeah I can get away with something little rather than another cat or dog or something. I wanted a little pet to "hang out with." I wanted a tortoise (when me and my bf lived in the apt, so he said I could get one). I ended up being frauded about $200 from a fake breeder. I was upset, talked a bit about my old hedgehog and he said I could get a hedgehog. So I got one. I loved him, had him for almost a year but he wasn't the right pet for me to get. He is noctournal and I go to bed early (ya frogs are too but they don't need a lot of attention). I didn't have time to give him the attention he needed, so he went to a friend and she has grand kids, they all love him. I then wanted a gecko of some kind, again hang out buddy. I never quite got the "go ahead" from my bf and my parents (since I live with them, their house their rules) to get a gecko. I then saw Orchid and fell in love haha. I asked my mum and she said "You have so many tanks upstairs I don't think anyone is going to know what's in them" (meaning my dad). So I got her lol. Then I told my dad and he got over it, but he doesn't know I have Haiku lmao! I probably won't tell him that.. once they are in the same terrarium, what's the difference?
Out of my 11 cats, only 2 are indoor. The rest are barn cats, but they are all super smart and don't leave our 8 acres.
