What is the CRAZIEST pet you ever owned?

[DeanS]

Not a silly dog or a possessive cat...I wanna know what the most outrageous pet you guys ever had...you know animals that your family or friends or strangers would look at you like you were nuts!

 

[jackrat]

Armadillo

 

[Kristina]

Well, actually, my tortoises, lol. They just don't get it.

Or the skunk or raccoons or possums I raised when they were orphaned.

I have always wanted an armadillo!!!

 

[Tom]

Orangutan. I didn't own her, but she live with me and my room mates.

If that doesn't count then its my 16 species of roaches for sure. Look up Erycotis decipiens or Blaberus giganteus.

 

[Kristina]

Left turn, Clyde.

 

[Tom]

Left turn, Clyde.

No. I was "Right turn, Clyde". I know the guys who trained Clyde. He was a pretty good one.

I had an emu for about 8 years. He died of old age (I got him as an adult). But I think this one is the most out there one:

 

[chadk]

I had a dwarf caiman in high school

I also used to catch various critters, keep them for a short while (a few days to a week tops) and let them go as a kid:
Armadillos, Possoms, giant texas bullfrogs, huge snapping turtles, various snakes, various birds, etc

Is that a PIG?!? He looks mean! I'd still pet him though

That's Mimi! (or has he since been renamed??)

Frank and Charlie, two miniture donkey geldings. Their favorite game was following me around when doing fence and stealing tools out my back pocket and then running across the pasture with this pathetic human with bum knees chasing after laughing the whole way. Boy I miss those jokers.

 

[DeanS]

I would have to say it is my dog. haha. however, he is an American Hairless Terrier, so very strange looking. My husband and I get all kinds of looks and comments. "is he sick?" "what did you do to your dog" haha.

hubby and i also have two hedgehogs, some people thinks thats odd. haha.

 

[N2TORTS]

[Maggie Cummings]

I have 2 Sugar Gliders now and I think those are kind of unusual maybe not crazy tho...

 

[Angi]

My Mom raised earth worms. I don't really know why. Well she bought each of us kids our very own Night Crawler. We thought they were very cool.

 

[terryo]

I guess mine would have to be my Squirrel Monkey..Abby Girl.
My son dressed as Aladdin for our Christmas card.

 

[Tom]

Squirrel Monkeys will NEVER look at the lens.

Yeah! Crazy and Unusual are equally as welcome

If my friend D were responding, it would be his Tokay gecko. He says it's meaner than his cayman.
