I was thinking of making this thread too! Yay! :)

I have 2 cats, both with epilepsy. A hypo melanistic corn snake (she's turning 2 this year and is having the backwall of her enclosure turned into a climbing wall). 3 fish tanks, each with a female betta, and then shrimp, tetras, cories, garras, are scattered in different ones depending on size and style.

I also have red wriggler worms, dairy cow, p. laevis white, dalmatian, powder blue, orange and purple isopods, white springtails and tropical pink spring tails. Some are in with the snake, others are in my compost outside.

I love gardening, so all of my enclosures / tanks are naturally planted and keep my green thumb fulfilled through the winter :)

My girlfriend has 2 dogs that spend half their time at my house, so I'll throw them in too. Her pomeranian is a registered service dog, and she also has a pug who is paralyzed from the waist down.

@Poppidoll yay! Another person with isopods! I have springtails but I can't remember what they are called. I think the lady called them bunny ear springtails? I've never heard of those before though so not sure if that's accurate.

Also, a little update, Henevieve hatched babies today! I saw 4 before I left for work. I'll see how many there are when I get home.

@Minute I have a video of one of my dairy cow isopods eating fish flakes from my hand. I can post it in the Facebook group, if you're in there and want to see.

@Minute They're great for keeping with reptiles, amphibians and small mammals! They keep enclosures nice and clean, fertilize the plants and provide bonus protein / calcium snacks! They're also pretty efficient composters if you're like me and don't have a lot of space for recycling kitchen scraps :)

@Haltanny It's neat to see someone else on here keeping them! You've got some cool species!

@haltanny, i'd love to see it, do post it!

@haltanny, is that the official H&J group on FB? i couldn't see it. oops found it how cute!

Oh sharing pets is so fun!
At our house we have just 2 dogs. Both from the same shelter just 6 years apart. Both goobers. The shelter claimed one was a lab (he looks it) and the other a border collie (definitely a pittie mix). The first my hubby picked out before we met and he's the best dog named Blue and the kid loves him to sleep in his room. The other is an anxiety riddled, goober pup named Boone that came from Oklahoma. He adores my husband. And he has the most striking eyes; so blue they are almost white.
At my inlaws we keep our 2 ponies. Arizona, our lil red roany pony who is 11.2(?) hands and is for the kiddos to ride but they don't care for it much. And then Lily our 13.3hh paint horse who turned 3 last month. I got her as a yearling to hopefully raise up to be my next riding horse. She is in my opinion the prettiest mare I've seen and a sweet lil girl. I just wish both girls were horse height since they are rock solid and great to be around.

I have 2 dogs - full sisters - husky lab shepherd crosses adopted during COVID - Nikki and Georgia
3 cats - one 8 to long haired ginger, 1 yo short haired ginger, 1 8 month old calico - Tigger, Leo and Dinah
1 sex crazy budgie - Winnie
1 7 yo guinea pig- Peaches
2 gold fish - Pringles and Cheesie
1 Hedgehog - Fluffy
1 Percheron/Tb - B
soon to have chickens again

1 17 yo son, 1 23 yo daughter, 1 disabled spouse

all on my 5 acre farm!

@Duven

All the budgies and green cheek conures that I've had have also been .... frisky. Some more so than others. In my experience they do tend to be extra frisky a few months out of the year (which would be their natural breeding season). Petting a bird anywhere but the head is an invitation to well get frisky. They will be frisky with bird toys (toys not intended for said friskiness), their owners or other birds.

@Duven they're definitely hilarious and quirky. lol.

@Haltanny

I have 3 easter egger roosters and they run from us. I haven't noticed any friskiness between them other than with the hens.

My quail on the other hand. That was crazy. We had one male this spring that his hormones were so strong or off balance (however you want to look at it) and he unalived all his pen mates. It was like a battle field in the pen. After much research we found out that its not uncommon for quail to become so frisky that they unalive their pen mates.

@Duven thats the conclusion we came to.

I currently dont have any of my own animals that I interact with on a daily basis.

However, my roommates have two cats. One of them is a grumpy calico female. She doesn't like me too much because I accidentally touched her tail 9 months ago while running my hand along her back. Her name is Ivy.

But they also have a young male orange cat. He is awesome and sometimes comes in my room and curls up with me etc. His name is Baron.

With my mom and step dad at home I have a lab that we rescued. He's the most "mine" out of the dogs but he keeps running away from me when I beg him to stay in my bedroom with me. His name is Gunner.

At that house we also have a German Shepherd named Kassie, and an English pointer named Charlie.

We also have 3 horses on the property. A retiree we inherited with the house named Parker. We lost both of his pasture mates, so we recently started basically leasing a rescue mare from our trainer to live with him. I don't remember what her name.

The last horse is a half friesian/half Percheron named Mike. He is mostly Lane's (moms bf) horse and he drives him. And Ive ridden him some.

At the show barn we have a relatively new western pleasure/all around gelding named Woody. He's mostly moms horse but I swear he loves me more <3. I've only ridden him like 4ish times <br />
And last but not least, my life, my everything Lexi is leased out atm as a broodmare. She has a lovely little filly named Xena. Hopefully I can post pictures in a bit.

@kintara That's so cool! I love border collies, Cruiser is so cute!
