Puisin has been away for 12 days she had to have iodine for hyperthyroidism, she's a bit pissed off at living away for so long (I keep telling her it was all Mrs21 but she doesn't believe me ffs) . We have to limit contact for a week and a bit as she's a bit radioactive

Jarvis the Siberian hamster, lover of carrots and redskin peanuts who died on Wednesday. Technically my niece's pet, but he's lived with us for the past year. Uncharacteristically eating what looks like a rolled pea. He'd usually kick that shit straight out of his food bowl and wait for a topup.

Sorry for your loss, he looks like a right character.
They have such short lives, looks like his was a good one though.

RIP Jarvis, I liked seeing your nibbling action.

It’s a trap.

Furious indignation on his face because i woke him up.

Some next level snuggling in a hamster bed from Styx the polecat.

Little old Ben. He's about 10 and generally stiff and wobbly, but still enjoying a wander about outside.

This is Bubbles. We think she's a ferret/polecat hybrid. A bit of a loner and skittish with it. Can nip but relaxes with reassurance and a berserker when she plays. The worst and the best.

I feel the need to dekimbo his legs before he settles down for a snooze.

This is a Stinking Goddess snake. They reach 8ft long, they're hugely aggressive and best of all they can fire poo at you from several metres away. They literally projectile shit!

I think I'm I'm in love. Next pet for sure.

Polecat Styx at the vet just before an operation to remove an abscess on his head.

Really worrying because it was right over his eye and difficult to operate on plus we weren't sure if it was a tumor. After photo:

All went really well. No nerve damage which was a possibility with the location. Our vet is great.

Polecat Black Bun had a lump removed from his ear and a couple of teeth out. They've spent the last week huddled together with intermittent surprise doses of anti-biotics.

This is Nero, he's a gargoyle gecko and an utter bastard.

Quaker parrot?

Quaker parrot?

Yup.
Unlike their religious namesakes, they’re not big on quiet contemplation.

If you want any advice about parrot-keeping, I'd be more than happy to answer any questions.
I'm saying this bit publicly because some people tend to get upset at the idea of keeping birds, but they do need to spend most of the day (they sleep when it's dark - well at least the species we tend to keep as pets!) out of a cage and free to (with supervision) fly/climb around in your home and destroy all your stuff/clank your crockery because they like the noise it makes They're very high-maintenance
