Particularly interested in hearing from mice and tarantula owners. I don’t really know what there is to like about those specific pets, and it would be nice to hear it from an owner of those pets.

    Your girls are so adorable!

    I haven’t really grokked the fact they can be litter trained, but I suppose the fact that my fiancée’s little potatoes have never pooped or peed on me should have tipped me off that it was a possibility lol

    My favorite piggy behavior is rumble strutting. When we got our newest pig (Coffeecake) it was hilarious to see our older pig (Oreo) attempting to assert dominance with his awkward rumble strutting. I could practically see them talking to each other:

    Oreo: “Hey, um, I’m the big boy around here. Um. So. You’d better get out of our, I mean my food bowl. Please?”

    Coffeecake: “Starve, grampa!”

    Poor oreo has bottomed for every cage mate he’s ever had. When my Fiancée first picked him out, he had been separated from the rest of the herd at the pet store because they were worried they others wouldn’t let him get to the food bowl at all. But after 3 years of hard work to become the biggest, fattest piggy (and after Coffecake got neutered and settled down) Oreo has finally become the dominant piggy as of a month ago. I think he deserves it.
