The Blackangel Posted January 31, 2025 Posted January 31, 2025 An animal that I would love to have as a pet capuchin monkey. They’re so playful and smart that I would have a lot of fun with it. I would get one, but @Rain Dew won’t let me. BITCH! Another would be a capybara. The problem there is that we don’t have the space and environmental requirements to support one and keep it healthy and happy. The rodent is my first totem. I have 6 rats, but a capybara is the biggest rodent on earth, and I just think it would be a great playmate. Until I piss it off. Then it’s a fight for my life. They’re POWERFUL little shits. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any others. @Rain Dew can probably think if one that I’m forgetting.

The Blackangel Posted February 2, 2025 Author Posted February 2, 2025 There’s a breeder here that always has joeys. I don’t know how much they charge for one, but they’re here.

The problem is exporting exotic animals like that to my country involves A LOT of red tape and the cost makes it quite a hassle.

Not to mention that it’s extremely bad for the animals. The stress of being shipped like that is a big reason why so many animals die in transit.

They won't look after its well-being. It's the same reason why I choose to leave my dog with my mom when I'm going to be out of the country for an extended period of time rather than flying them with me.
