pufferfishnz Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Ive got an unusual pet that i cant look after anymore. dont have as much time on my hands as i used to. shes really lovely, toilet trained and eats almost anything. She needs to be outside in a large aviary or run, needs lots of running room. She loves human contact though. The more time you spend with her the more she grows. I hate to see her go, shes like my best animal friend, but i must be fair to her. BUT..... she is NOT for meat or fur!!!! if anyone can help please do!

Ant N Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Agreed, MOST definitly DON'T let it go.. Anyone need feeder for piranha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinsonMassif Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 just let her/him go DON'T even think of letting it go! Good luck on finding a home. I would if I had a suitable enclosure and was closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nana Luke Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Get it put down... humanely. Or just hit it with an axe or something They are definitely not the sort of animal you want to release, If the authorities found out, they would pick you up the the pigtails and swing you about. Not only that, but for the sake of the environment, don't let it go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loopy Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I am very sad that you are talking about someones loved pet this way! It doesn't matter if it is regarded as a pest by many. As long as it is cared for responsibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Or just hit it with an axe or something Thats what happened to our pet possum! I found a baby in the pouch of a mother that had been poisoned, we kept it for all of about 2 hours, from when I found it walking up the drive coming home from school until dad got home from work. I'm glad though, it seemed a bit harsh at the time, but when they do so much damage to the native bush its not the kind of animal you want to get attached to.

livingart Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 letting it go is not an option for either the environment or the possum permit and tb testing is required to keep it, it can be a carrier even though it seems healthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
