Hedgie!
Sophomore year in college, my roommates (6 girls in a room, btw - never do it!) decided it would be cool to get a hedgehog, despite the school's rule that no animals were allowed in dorm rooms. My immediate roomie and I were totally against it, especially its price tag, $500+ (It had to be imported from Africa by plane, then picked up the airport, plus food and accessories and a habitat and toys, ugh!).
They never took care of it. It smelled and I felt so bad for it. Lauren ended up using her money for that semester's accounting textbook to purchase it. Christie (who didn't pay for it) took it home for the winter break because Lauren didn't want her parents to know she had bought it, but when break was over, Christie never brought it back. So they got in a huge fight. We never saw that animal again...and Lauren ended up transferring... (I changed the names...) |

WHy I had issues with the rabbit? Well when you feed it a mouse or a rat...you think "Eeeehh it's just a rodent." But the rabbit, "...well the rabbit didn't to anything to anybody...why would anyone wanna feed this cute lil' critter to a snake?" And the squeaking too...heartbreaking but hey snake's gotta eat. You see? LOL I forgot I had Oscars (comes from a similar family as piranha <chiclids>)for a while too...and popping goldfish in the tank with it...why? LOL Lesson, never get any unless you have a very large tank as multple Oscars tend to turn on each other and you aren't careful, you won't find the bodies. |

Hey..did you hear about the clown in NYC a few years ago that had a pet full grown tiger in his apt? remember? |

This one: Police talked with a neighbor who said the man in the apartment owned a tiger. A fourth-floor resident complained that urine had seeped through her ceiling from Yates' apartment, Kelly said. and this one: NEW YORK (CNN) -- A man who kept a 400- to 500-pound Bengal tiger and a 3-foot alligator as roommates in his Harlem apartment lol lol |
A couple I'm friends with used to have a chinchilla. She had the softest fur ever. :) She was a naughty little thing too - she ran under the refrigerator once and wouldn't come out. Sadly, she died a few months ago. My friends are talking about getting two more girls.

I've ALWAYS wanted a ferret, ever since I was in 6th grade and our class used to babysit the math teacher's ferret.
I have a chihuahua, I think that's close enough for right now. |
One of my sister's brother has 4 chinchillas.
They're very cute, but they are not the friendliest things in the world. They don't really like to be touched or petted or picked up, and mostly stay in their "hut" in the back of their little habitat. Growing up I had a turtle, 2 geckos, and several crabs. I don't know if those qualify as exotic though. |
You had crabs LOL!
|
I have two sugar gliders. (Pocket pets). They are adorable!!

When I started the original post, I posted crabs, but I went back and added "hermit" because I thought someone would crack a joke like this one. It's a shame we have to think ahead before we click on the submit reply tab. lol :p:p |
I want to domesticate giraffes. I would form the giraffe riders force, and ride my giraffe around, doing good deeds and such.

I HATE spiders!! Especially big hairy ones....they give me the willies!
When I was in high school, my dad had a toad at his vet clinic that lived in an aquarium with water and ate mice....I'm not sure what kind of toad it was, but it was neat to see it jump at and attack the mice, because other than that, he barely moved. Dad also had a potbellied pig and a llama at the clinic. When we were growing up, we raised a baby bull, and had a cute little pygmy goat....not really exotic, but different |
