I would have to see how it got on with my pet rock, I wouldn't want them fighting.

I wanted to adopt a tiger, but then they told me I couldn't actually keep it in my flat. Then I thought I would adopt an Indian granny, but they said I couldn't keep her in my flat either. At least I have still got my spiders in the stairwel, but I thought they would have been talking more than what they are. My rock is doing quite well, he talks nearly as good as the goldfish I used to have.

Our council say you can only keep animals in the flats, if they are normally kept in a cage. I have never got close to a tiger yet, that hasn't been in a cage. I dont know where they stand on Indian grannies; but I would probably keep her in a cage as well, just to be on the safe side.

mikkh: It was pretty easy with the help of vapes, which I've dabbled with for years but never really stuck to full time - till now. One bad habit for another maybe, but I feel healthier and it's definitely a lot cheaper. Nov 21, 2024 7:45:12 GMT
