Re: Primates

I don't think I'd ever fully trust one..

Re: Primates

Not entirely a good idea to completely trust any pet IMO Especially rabbits - or it may just be me who had the rabbit from hell

Re: Primates

That made me laugh so much, should keep me going till bedtime

Re: Primates

I don´t think you were the only one with a rabbit from hell Julie. Some years ago my friend´s husband was moving their rabbit´s daytime pen to another part of the garden. The rabbit took offence, jumped up and bit him on a rather delicate part of his body. The poor man had to go to the doctor. The doctor told him that bites from a rabbit needed immediate treatment because rabbits eat at ground level and have lots of very unpleasant bacteria on their teeth, tetanus being a real danger. My friend´s husband walked in a very strange manner for a week or two and flatly refused to go near a rabbit every again.

Re: Primates

I found this so funny.....I'm still laughing....
When my kids were growing up we had many different pet's...our pet from hell was a duck that chased and hated everybody...We had to have the local Game Farm take him to a pond.

Re: Primates

No I wouldn't keep one as a pet, seems gruel to me to keep a tree loving animal stuck in a house. I have to say I don't know much about 'unusual' pets, just the usual cats and dogs type, now I'm curious to know how these little monkeys go about their toilet, can they be trained to use the bathroom? I don't suppose you could let him/her out to the garden as they might scarper.

Re: Primates

I read years ago of a wild caught( as a baby )in a laboratory being trained to recognise words and phrases. He began to become very proficient & one day invented a phrase of his own

"Where's my mummy"

.........I recognise John Aspinall's pioneering work with tigers & gorillas. Since his death , his son has taken on his mission.

........... Interesting that the great man's work was financed by his gambling empire..

Re: Primates

I fear I would give the Primate a knowing look, and the primate would reciprocate.

Re: Primates

...and go APE.

Re: Primates

Probably.
