Ask FBS' Pets

FlipperBoidSkua · **on:** January 29, 2011, 08:14:30 PM

I thought this would be fun to do since Rat_lady7's topic of asking questions to her 2 kitties seems like fun. And I also thought it might help with some grieving issues I still have for my lost pets, intensified even more by the current and depressing event of Caramel's aging symptoms.

You can ask any of the pets any question you want. The list of my pets are as follows...

"Lost" Pets:
Fluffy the cat
Spazz the ferret
Shoogy and Gliga the sugar gliders
Fuz-Bal and Boba the gerbils
Terror the milksnake
Monster the bearded dragon
Justin the pug
Fudge the chinchilla
Rainbow the beta fish
Morphius the soft-shelled turtle
A small 'flock' of budgerigar birds (really, I couldn't tell them apart, so names were next to useless here.....

)
Various insects, including some mantids, some tiger beetles, four ant farms, a stag beetle, and an assassin bug
Marble (who was the most recent to join this list a few months ago...

) and Caramel (who joined a few days ago...

) the rats.

Current Pets:
Domino the ratty
More buggies; this time being 2 Asian mantis', five tiger beetles, and an antlion

Ask away!!!

(I'm going to be asking the following question of all the pets; just figured it would be better to stagger it and ask a few pets at a time, rather than all of them at once.

)

Shoogy and Gliga: What are your favorite foods?

FlipperBoidSkua · **Reply #2 on:** February 01, 2011, 05:23:50 PM

Yay!! The first question!! I was beginning to lose hope!

Shoogy: GRAPES!!!!!!!!!
Gliga: Bananas for me!! *nom nom nom!*

Why not?

The Buggies: What do you like to do?

FlipperBoidSkua · **Reply #4 on:** February 01, 2011, 09:02:35 PM

Tiger Beetles: RUN AND HUNT!!! HUNT AND RUN!! RUN RUN RUN RUN RUUUUUNNN!!
Jolt: Slam into things at such high speed, I probably have brain damage by now!!
Mantids: Sit and observe while staring at our human's sister in order to unnerve her.
Takeo: Chill and fight.
Assassin Bug: Bite things and scare the crap outta my human's sister!
Ants: Try to break out of our ant-tanks!! Help us!!!
Amazon Ants: Taking over the WORLD!!! Mwahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!
Antlion: Digging, digging, and more digging.

The Ratties: How about you? What are your favorite things to eat?

FlipperBoidSkua · **Reply #6 on:** February 02, 2011, 02:47:11 PM

Marble: A Plain M&M, even if I got them only once in a blue moon!
Caramel: Yogurt drops!!! Yum!
Domino: That piece of oatmeal cookie my human gave to me! But she wouldn't share the rest....

The Tiger Beetles: Do you guys ever get into fights? :unsure:

FlipperBoidSkua · **Reply #8 on:** February 02, 2011, 08:10:07 PM

Tiger Beetle #1: Mostly we tolerate each other but, yes!! We certainly do get into fights on more than one occasion.

Tiger Beetle #2: During feeding time, we try to steal each other's food and chase each other around.

Tiger Beetle #3: And our scuffles are a quick series of grappling with our mandibles. Not serious at all in that we don't really get hurt.

Jolt:

But sometimes they bite me when I'm stuck on my back. I think they mistakenly think I'm dying or something <_< I usually bite them back to set the record straight.

Other Beetles:

Me: I am having sooooo much fun with this! Keep the questions coming!!

Pangaea · **Reply #9 on:** February 02, 2011, 09:54:50 PM

^ Happy to oblige.

Fluffy, Spazz, Justin, and Fudge: What are your favorite foods? (I worry that this question's going to get old if I stagger it TOO much…)

FlipperBoidSkua · **Reply #10 on:** February 03, 2011, 02:00:56 AM

Fluffy: Friskies! I come running from anywhere in the house for that stuff!!

Spazz: The cake my humans made for my birthday!!! It was made of chicken baby food, with Ferretone "sauce" and a raisin on top! Yum!!!!!!!

Justin: The occasion piece of beef my humans would give me!!!

Fudge: I'm very happy with simple sunflower seeds.

Fuz-Bal: Why is your name spelled with just one “z” and one “l”?

FlipperBoidSkua · **Reply #12 on:** February 03, 2011, 04:30:28 PM

I love that one!

Fuz-Bal: ................I dunno. According to my human, I'm too cute to be given a name that's correctly spelled!!

The Ratties: Assuming you've seen a lot of movies, TV, etc. with your human, who is your favorite fictional character (rodent and/or otherwise)?

LBTDiclonius · **Reply #14 on:** February 05, 2011, 02:08:14 AM

Thought I'd ask again.

Fluffy, what's your favorite thing to do?

All Three Ratties: Hypothetically, if we can even see the TV with our poor eyesight and actually make out the hazy flashes of light.....
Marble: Zim!!
Caramel: GIR!!
Domino: The Tallest!!
Me: I watched a lot of Invader Zim with each of them; mostly on the internet and the TV when they show it!!

Your questions are always welcomed!!

Fluffy: I like to sleep in any spot that will prove to be of great hindrance to my humans' progress in life!!

I second that! It's boring being the only one posting questions!

This one goes to the buggies, both past and present: What are your favorite foods?

(I think I'm asking more questions to your pets than I am to you in your own question thread, FBS! :blink: Just so you know, my last post in that thread had a new question on the third or fourth paragraph; I'm waiting for you to answer that one before I ask more.

The Ratties: Do you sometimes annoy your Human? If so, how?

Amaranthine · **Reply #18 on:** February 06, 2011, 10:19:38 PM

Hehe, glad you decided to create this topic. :3

Anyhow, questions:

Antlion: Do you know what a lion is?

All tiger beetles: So who is who? Which is female and which male?

FlipperBoidSkua · **Reply #19 on:** February 07, 2011, 06:49:33 PM

Eep!! I'm late!! Sorry!

This one goes to the buggies, both past and present: What are your favorite foods?

Assassin Bug: Caterpillars. Soft, helpless little caterpillars.
Takeo: Anything sweet and liquidy.
Mantids: The occasional treats the human gives us.
Tiger Beetles: Crickets are both tasty and fun to hunt with all their jumping and kicking!
Ants: Anything we can get our mandibles on!
Amazons: We'll take anything the slaves feed us!!
Antlion: Anything that's dropped in my hunting pit is good eating!

The Ratties: Do you sometimes annoy your Human? If so, how?

Marble: Sometimes we do.

When our human's in a hurry and decides that it's time to put us back in our cage............
Caramel: SHE'LL HAVE TO CATCH US FIRST!!!

Domino: A game of chase is so much fun!

Antlion: Do you know what a lion is?

All tiger beetles: So who is who? Which is female and which male?

Antlion: What's a lion?

Tiger Beetles: Our human has trouble telling us apart if it's not incredibly obvious.
Jolt: She has to watch us for a few minutes to tell which one I am!!

Tiger Beetles: She can't even tell which is male and which is female!! <_< What's wrong with her? It's so obvious!

:
Me: No it's not!! You all look the same!! :blink: Anyway, I'm planning on getting some paint to add a drop of color on their thorax's so I can finally solve the identity problem!!

Tiger Beetles: Yup! And we'll be biting through the whole process!! :^.^:
