Send me a note if you want to speak with her directly

Good luck

Thanks for the info, everyone!!!! Very interesting links, too!

I am definitely considering owning one someday, but I'd like to find more information about how easy it is to travel with them. Does it stress them a lot to travel? As it is at the moment, I am travelling back and forth from NS to here a few times a year, and I'm wondering whether a hedgehog would be something that would be better to have when I am not moving around so much, or if you can just put it into a carrier and bring it along.

every thought about a ferret? i hear they are pretty cool pets


and they are pretty smart

I have a friend who has ferrets... I don't know, I've always heard they smell a bit, and that they like to bite.

Right now, ideally I'm looking for something easy to travel with, and that doesn't smell.

how about a pet that walks upright on 2 feet, showers, shaves, and dresses himself.

and trys always to smell good :D

Apparently I'm not good enough to keep one of those.

A friend of mine has one. Good question about the traveling. They do get stressed. I know that on WestJet you can take a cat as carry on in a soft sided animal carrier.

just haven't found the right one ;)

better late then never I hope
 

I know this is a topic from a few months ago but I figured I toss in a couple cents.

I had some friends that had one for a pet. I dont remember it smelling bad, but it did vomit on itself alot. I guess its something they do when theyre nervous... and this paticular one must of been in a constant state of mental breakdown.

I also remember it didnt live very long, which was odd because the couple that owned it were very good at taking care of animals. Maybe they just got a bum one.

I know I'm slow getting here, but, that I just can't buy!

Perhaps you're looking at that just a little skewiff.

I suspect that Neige should not be keeping one, but borrowing us as needs arise. That way we know she's in good hands and we can keep an eye or two on her.

I'm sure you Norteamericanos can send off her current pet on an important, prolonged mission.
