not at your age pal, she would kill you…
You mean house trained pets?. Most acceptable and desirable.
The ones we have right now. Two dogs and a 17 year old cat.
WOW! That’s one BIG but beautiful cat.
Hopefully big enough to ride on.
Of course.
I’d love a a Maine coon cat!
Beautiful but still just a tad scary
I too would love to have a wombat.
Do wombats make good pets ? They look so cute
I’d have a dragon if I were Welsh.
Fussy eaters
Yep, still cute though.
All Australian native animals are protected species and as such it is illegal to keep them as pets.
10 reasons Wombat would not make good pets.
- It’s a wild animal that you cannot tame, even after years in captivity. Your Wombat will always attempt to escape and may bite you in the process.
- Wombats produce more than 100 pieces of poop each day.
- Wombats will quickly dig out of any enclosure that doesn’t have a solid floor.
- The Wombat’s claws can easily puncture human skin, and they will bite as well. Cornered Wombats will charge you and can easily knock over a startled human.
- The Australian government protects all Wombat species in every Australian State, making them illegal to collect for the pet trade.
- The government lists some Wombat species, like the Northern Hairy Nose Wombat, as endangered.
- It’s illegal to import the Wombat into any foreign country.
- Since the Wombat spends most of its time burrowing, it can be difficult to recreate its natural habitat.
- Wombats are nocturnal, and humans rarely see them, so scientists still need to learn how to best care for them.
- They are extremely strong and will tear open most cages designed to hold them. They can also break locks and will even dig through a wall to escape. Most experts agree that Wombats would cause too much damage to your home to keep them indoors.
Holy shit. Thanks for the info. There’s a lot more to them than I thought.
I would have another Maine Coon I miss Sox so much she was lovely
I would like a pet Halibut named Eric.
Something fishy about that choice Bruce…
