For several years, my sisters and I raised guinea pigs and for a couple of years, I had a parakeet. We also had rabbits and at one point guineas, chickens and ducks, squirrels and doves. During my college years, I had a hamster. Now, my home is filled with 10 ferrets and 2 hedgehogs and I love it!! :-) Anne [Posted in FML issue 5269]
