Pets

I would be curious to know how many people have pets and a family? How do you find keeping pets is it beneficial or do you struggle

  • We have a fishtank with various tropical fish and my daughter's dwarf hamster called Cutie.

    The fish are okay, but the filter we changed to last year is noisy. When I started accepting that I was autisticw and realised why it bothered me so much, my husband tried to put a baffle on it too reduce the noise. 

    The hamster is a character, she's trained us by gnawing on the bars at meal times to give her something to eat too as her cage is near the table. So when I'm making dinner I have to leave a little piece of veg to give her dinner too!
