My boyfriend thinks I have a pet problem... He agrees that 2 dogs and the tortoise are fine, but in addition to that I have 5 gerbils, 2 rabbits, and possibly soon 2 rats. The gerbils are more of watching-pets, although they do let me hold them and the bunnies are so fluffy and cute (although messier than my other pets)... My boyfriend seems to think I don't need any more pets but I want a pet I can hold and carry around! My gerbils don't enjoy being carried around, the tortoise prefers to do her own thing, and the rabbits don't really like being held either. I already have the cage, bedding, and water bottle, plus toys. Which is really the expensive part anyway (other than possible vet care).
