They're a culinary speciality in Ecuador. I an tell you how to cook them if you like...but perhap this isn't the time and place...

Sorry - couldn't stop myself!

My bad.

That's Scruff, I think he's a cross Abysinnian not a pure as his rosettes are not very neat

This is my baby Sly,(sorry Marya) He hatched on 29/09/95 and I bought him on 12/03/96. He's ever so gentle and good natured and I ove him to bits.
He's perfect for me (no fur, no allergies) and he's so easy to look after.
He was only a few inches long when I got him and now he's 5 feet long. I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to him. I've lost animals in the past (dogs, rabbit, gerbils, rats, birds. (pre-allergy)) and it's so upsetting to say the least.

Love the new family members Arachnid. See you waited till I was off to England to buy them eh?
Can't wait to see them next time I'm over your way

I actually didn't pay anything for them.The chap was just quite happy for them to find a good home as he originally started off with two, and it just so happened that they were male and female ( so loads of babies!!!)!!!

Aww the cats are SO cute. I miss my cat all the time. He died at 21 years the day before 9/11 attack. He'd been such a character and part of our lives that we felt we could never replace him, but time heals and we were a thinking of getting another cat when we discovered Clanger #2 is allergic??? So the hospital tests say.
In our time we've also had a part share in a dog and full time -mice, crickets, stick insects. fish and my fave(apart from my cat ), rats. Oh and visiting tadpole/ froglettes including a wounded frog found on the beach! never did figure out how it got there.

Rats make great pets!!!

I used to work in a small animal house( mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs and rabbits) and the rats were the best! Have also had them as pets and they're so intelligent, it's such a pity that they only live for a few years!!

And they tend to be prone to skin growths as they get older

our house guest. Wemyss the cat is staying with us while her owner is in hospital. She's bonkers and very sweet.

We don't know how old she is (she's very young and tiny) or anything else really. But she seems to have taken to us.

Ah, hence the Wemyss cat icon..

Does this mean you have found a fab new home too?!

Denise · Post by **Denise** » 07 Dec 2006, 17:13

no new house yet. Still trying to sell one in Leith and then one in King's Rd. Anyone want to buy in Leith and sell up in Porty? We'll definitely need a garden now we have a (temporary) kitten.
And I have an Oompah Loompah in my tummy, due 10 April.
I've been busy playing with Wemyss the cat and worrying about scans/bloods/selling houses/buying houses/will the kitten get to stay?
worry, worry, worry

I've obviously reached a new phase, I've decided to stop worrying

Really??? I've always wanted an Oompah Loompah. Would you consider selling it when it arrives???

Older ones are a bit more expensive, so you could do it on the cheap, couldn't you??
