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..... :oops )
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... :cry ) the rats.
Current Pets:
Domino the ratty
More buggies; this time being 2 Asian mantis', five tiger beetles, and an antlion
Ask away!!! :D
-
(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. :angel)
Shoogy and Gliga: What are your favorite foods?
-
Yay!! The first question!! I was beginning to lose hope! :D
Shoogy: GRAPES!!!!!!!!!
Gliga: Bananas for me!! *nom nom nom!*
-
Why not?
The Buggies: What do you like to do?
-
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? :smile
-
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:
-
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: :anger 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: :oops
Me: I am having sooooo much fun with this! Keep the questions coming!! :D
-
^ Happy to oblige. :smile
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…)
-
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”? :confused
-
:lol 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!! :lol:
-
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)? :p
-
Thought I'd ask again. :)
Fluffy, what's your favorite thing to do?
-
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)?
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!! :D
Thought I'd ask again.
Fluffy, what's your favorite thing to do?
Your questions are always welcomed!! :smile
Fluffy: I like to sleep in any spot that will prove to be of great hindrance to my humans' progress in life!! :p
-
Thought I'd ask again.
Fluffy, what's your favorite thing to do?
Your questions are always welcomed!! :smile
I second that! It's boring being the only one posting questions! :p
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 (http://gangoffive.net/index.php?showtopic=8986&view=findpost&p=9223213) 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?
-
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?
-
Eep!! I'm late!! Sorry! :D
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. :lol: 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!!! :lol
Domino: A game of chase is so much fun! :D
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!! :DD
Tiger Beetles: She can't even tell which is male and which is female!! <_< What's wrong with her? It's so obvious! :rolleyes:
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!! :smile
Tiger Beetles: Yup! And we'll be biting through the whole process!! :^.^:
-
Fluffy, what kind of cat are you? (Long-haired, short-haired, etc.; if you know the name of your breed, that’s even better. :D)
-
:lol How did I know this question would eventually come up?
Fluffy: I'm strongly believed to be a long-haired orange tabby. That's my human's closest guess since I was found as a stray kitten, so my heritage is basically unknown.
-
If I were to pet, hold, touch, or otherwise make physical contact with any of you pets (assuming I was handling you the way I was supposed to), which of you would I have to worry about injuring me (or at least trying to)? :p
-
Buggies
Everyone: Avoid the Assassin Bug!
Assassin Bug: *snickers evilly!!*
Mantids: We'll tolerate you if you hold us right. Or better yet, if you let us call the shots.
Tiger Beetles: You touchy, we bitey!!
Takeo: I don't care if you pet me or not. I would barely notice.
Antlion: *chills in your hand*
Ants: No squishing or nest invasion, then we're good. Just be veeeeeerrrrrry careful picking one of us up, though!!! Though, if your hand smells like food, we'll bite you!
Non-Buggies
Ratties, Gerbils, Spazz: A new human to play with!?! YAYZ!!!!! :lol: *swarms all over you!*
Fudge: Careful with my fur, I just took a dust bath!
Fluffy: Zzzzzzzzzz......
Justin: *sniff sniff* I like you! You can pet me!!
Gliders: If our human lets you hold us, you must be a good human!! Just let us sniff you first!!
Terror: Don't hurt me!!! ...But since you're warm, I'll coil around your hand.....Just don't hurt me!!
Monster: *chills on your head*
Morphius: *kicks and bites* Don't touch me, don't touch me, don't touch me!! I don't know you!!!
Rainbow: Feed me and I'll let your finger pet my fins. Be very gentle, though!!
Birdies: You'll have to catch us first, human!!
-
Gerbils and Budgerigars: What are your favorite foods?
-
Fuz-Bal and Boba: Does cardboard count as food?
Birdies: Just bird seeds!! :^.^:
-
Assassan bug, this one's for you. Do you like being an assassan? Have you ever stabbed someone, do you ever want to stab someone, and do you have dark spiky hair with a pencil case full of booby traps that can set off anytime someone touches it?
-
Me: That's a fun, random one!!
Assassin Bug: Assassinating other bugs is the way I make my living and I love my job. Yes, I have stabbed many with my all-natural weapon of choice and I will stab anything and everything on whatever opportunity I get. But I believe you've mistaken me for someone else...... I can be far worse with my killing methods than a booby-trapped pencil box. *evil snickers!!*
Me: Talk about a very slow and very agonizing death.... :blink:
-
Hahha! Thanks, I should really tell bogden he's been outdone by a bug... :blink:
Fudge the...whatever...: Do you annoy your human sometimes?
-
^ Take it from someone who's watched tons of bug documentaries and read countless bug-related books and scientific articles: bugs outdo ALL other assassins. No human mind, no matter how murderous, sick, or psychopathic, could imagine the methods some insects use to kill their prey. :blink:
Fuz-Bal (I almost misspelled your name correctly :p) and Boba: What scares/annoys you the most?
-
Hahha! Thanks, I should really tell bogden he's been outdone by a bug...
Yay!! My assassin bug won!! :lol:
^ Take it from someone who's watched tons of bug documentaries and read countless bug-related books and scientific articles: bugs outdo ALL other assassins. No human mind, no matter how murderous, sick, or psychopathic, could imagine the methods some insects use to kill their prey.
And ain't that the truth!!! :blink: It's fascinating watching my assassin bug and mantids eat, but I feel sorry for the buggy being put through that torture...
Fudge the...whatever...: Do you annoy your human sometimes?
Fudge: I'm a chinchilla, a luxuriously furred rodent you humans seem to like putting in your coats.... :( Regarding the question, I don't think so. I'm too laid-back to really get into any trouble. I guess the only annoyance I give her is making a mess during my dust baths.
Fuz-Bal (I almost misspelled your name correctly ) and Boba: What scares/annoys you the most?
Me: :lol Never thought I'd hear that...
Fuz-Bal: When we run out of cardboard!! :cry
Boba: We ran out of cardboard?! :blink: Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!
Fuz-Bal: *face-paw*
Edit: I'm a Ducky now!! Squeeeeeeeeeee!!!! :celebrate:
-
^ Congratulations! :lol
The Tiger Beetles (assuming you've been individually marked already): What do you think of your new shell decs? :D
-
Me: In reality, the beetles don't seem to mind the change, but that'll be no fun!! :lol: As such....
Speedy: What the heck is on me?! :blink:
Dart: *groom groom groom groom GROOOOOOOMMM!!!*
Snail: Why is my name so ironic?! :anger
Jolt: *watch, points, and :lol *
Blur: You think the red coloring matches my shell? Make's me feel Christmas-y...
Other Four Beetles: :huh:
Blur: What? :unsure:
-
^ :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
Morphius and Rainbow: What are your favorite foods?
-
Yay!! I made a funny! :D
Morphius: The occasional pieces of chicken, but no skin! I hate the skin!
Rainbow: I'm mostly fed beta fish food, but sometimes, my human gives me a tiny mouthful of shrimp and I like that a lot!
-
Boba: what color are you?
P.S. Congrats on the Ducky level!!! :celebrate
-
Boba: I'm a Burmese gerbil. A brown color with darker brown colorpoints! I'm a bit darker than Fuz-Bal, who's a siamese gerbil.
P.S. Thank you!! :D
-
Fluffy and Justin: What scares/annoys you the most?
-
Fluffy: What annoys me is my human's sister kicking me out of her room. What scares me....the Vaccuum and parties....
Justin: Buses and trucks...... They're big and noisy and smell weird....
-
And the last “favorite foods” question goes to………Terror and Monster! :p
-
Terror: Mice, mice, and more mice.
Monster: Meal worms, definitely the mealworms.
-
Fluffy, Spazz, Morphius, Terror, Fudge, sugar gliders, gerbils, and bugs: How well did you get along when you were living in the same house?
-
Buggies: We were kept in our own room, thankfully.
Fluffy: So long as they leave me alone when I want to be alone, I'm happy.... *as if that ever happened :rolleyes: *
Spazz: Everyone is my personal play toy and they're so much fun, fun, fun even when they want me to go away!!! I love them!!
Me: Just keep her in her cage when the 'prey' animals come out to play....
Spazz: *randomly bounds off for her little war dance*
Morphius: Luckily, my tank is too large and heavy for any of them to move or break in. And if I stay still and boring, maybe they'll leave me alone.....
Terror: I hardly meet the others, but when I do....MAKE THEM GO AWAY!!! *coils up in fear*
Fudge: I'm chilled with everyone, so long as they respect my fur!!
Sugar Gliders: Everyone is a landing pad the way we see it! :D
Gerbils: We must harrass them unnecessarily on our explorations!!
-
Fudge: I'm chilled with everyone, so long as they respect my fur!!
Fudge: What does “respecting your fur” entail?
-
Fudge: Concerning other pets....Make sure they don't groom me or spread dirt into my coat or mouth at my fur or anything like that. <_< If you're a human, don't touch me with your messy, ungroomed hands so much! :blink: If you wanna pet me, you must wash your strange-looking paws very cleanly and please, dry them extra good; don't get me even the slightest bit wet 'cause water is my worst enemy! Don't you dare try to brush me either, as I personally don't like brushes....Combs are better, but I still don't like them; I can groom myself just fine with my regular dust-baths. And please, pet gently and don't try to dig into my fur so much. Follow those guidelines, and we can be good friends! :)
-
^ Lemme guess: people and other pets not treating your fur properly is what annoys you the most, right? So what scares you the most?
-
Fudge: Yes! You must respect the fur, or I might have to give you a warning nip. Water is my worst fear because it will destroy my fur and all the hard work I put in maintaining it.... :( :cry
-
Spazz, what would you say is the most mischievous thing you've ever done? :p
-
Spazz: Let's see here......Besides stealing everything I can get my teeth on, sneaking into the drawers and the refrigerator to make a mess, leaving a trail of destruction wherever I go :D , and getting in everyone's nerves for my own amusement (I've been scruffed so many times from my human's dad...)? :p Squeezing under the door to trash the bug room was memorable. I managed to knock down two of the mantids' home and the assassin's home and was trying to find a way to get to the Tiger beetle tank. Unfortunately my human caught me before I can do any real damage or come in true contact with the buggies.....Then she blocked off the door so I can't go back in... But I kept on trying to break in again, all the way until the day our humans had to leave.... That was one of the few times my human was genuinely mad at me; luckily, she can't stay mad with my spazzy cuteness!! :DD
Me: Thankfully, none of the bugs were injured; frightened out of their buggy minds, maybe, but they were okay! :)
-
Thankfully, none of the bugs were injured; frightened out of their buggy minds, maybe, but they were okay! :)
That's a relief. :yes
Okay, Spazz, we know you’re pretty good at annoying and scaring other creatures, :p but is there anything that annoys or scares you?
-
Yes it was. I almost had a heart attack when it happened....
Spazz: I'm generally fearless, but I'm scared of one thing and one thing only: .....................When play-times over and I have to go back in my cage; the HORROR :blink: !! What annoys me is when the humans ruin my fun and scruff me. I don't like 'rules' and 'discipline' <_< .
-
Buggies: Besides (I'm guessing) Spazz, for those of you who knew him, what things scare and annoy you the most?
-
Tiger Beetles: When someone rudely opens the tank and tries to grab us. We hate it when that happens!!
Mantids: Our human's sister annoys us, mostly 'cause she bothers us without the reward of food....
Assassin Bug: I've met with no fear, but one annoyance came when my human's sister tried to take my food before I was done.
Me: She said you took your beak out.
Assassin Bug: But if I'm holding it, it's still my food. Either way, she tried to pick me up, no doubt to wrestle the food away from me and she had what was coming to her.
Me: And thus starting that phobia....
Takeo: I find little annoyance, but I fear one day losing a battle... -_-
Antlion: What annoys me is my food getting away....
Ants: What annoys/scares us is the prospect of our colony being damaged or destoyed.
Amazons: Our fear is running out of slaves.
Slaves: Our annoyance is when the Amazons constantly pester us for food while we work and they do nothing but groom. <_<
-
Caramel, Domino, mantises, tiger beetles, and antlion: About how old are you?
-
Domino: I'm around 6 months old
Caramel: Just a little past the 4 year old line.... (my little old lady's reaching the end of her rope.... :cry )
Buggies: She got us all roughly around the same time, about 8 months ago.
Tiger Beetles: We were still larvae when she got us.
Mantids: So what? She got us when we were eggs, so nyah! :nyah
Tiger Beetles: :anger
Mantids: :anger
Antlion: :bang
Me: Guys, this isn't a competition!! :rolleyes: Anyway, I'm expecting the tiger beetles to bite the dust soon and will probably last another month if I'm lucky; the mantids should last a few months longer. The antlion should get to be three years old before he matures and has to be released.
Great News: Inspired by my A Bugs Life obsession, I've done some research (which wielded interesting results inspiring me even further) and I'm gonna buy a new tank and supplies tomorrow! Then, I'mma catch me a grasshopper, preferably a nymph. What's the interesting result that strengthens my resolve to have one: orthopterans (the groups containing katydids, crickets, and grasshoppers) are one of the few insects that can be tamed, like the mantids!! So expect it to be added to the list soon!! :DD
-
(I know you're grieving for Caramel right now, so it's no problem if you take a few days to answer this question. I just thought I'd post one on the off-chance that answering it would make you feel better in some way.)
To all pets: How did you get your names, and what do you think of them?
-
Okay, I think I'm better enough to answer now. You and the others here certainly are of great help. I've also been drawing and writing of my favorite things to help me feel better and I think it's working.
Fluffy: My human's mom named me cause she always wanted it as a cat's name. I personally think the name's for girl kitties.... <_<
Spazz: My human named me for the typical ferret behavior. I don't think she was disappointed. :D
Shoogy and Gliga: Our human's sister named us based on what we are. We don't mind, but we think she can be a bit more creative.
Fuz-Bal: My human's sister suggested the name Fuzz-Bucket, which my human turned to Fuzz-Ball, then misspelled it for a cuter name. I'm confused on how misspelling it would make it cuter, but I'll go along with it.
Boba: She named me after those sweet round things she loves so much. Though I myself never really tried it...
Terror: My human's mom named me, cuz I think she's scared of me. I think the name's misleading, but it's stuck now...
Monster: Same reason as Terror, but it doesn't bother me much.
Justin: My human's parents named me for reasons I have no idea of...
Fudge: After the chocolate syrup stuff. It was a spur-of-the-moment kind of name.
Rainbow: I wasn't a rainbow color at all, but she loved my coloration nonetheless and gave me the name. It makes me feel good, personally.
Morphius: My previous owner, who was my human's science teacher, named me after that Matrix movie. I never really understood, but I guess it's good to be named from the teacher's favorite movie. My human just decided to keep it although she's never seen the movie herself. But she does call me Morphy more often than my actual name.
Marble, Caramel, and Domino: Our human named all three of us for our coloration. We like the names as it almost always means 'treat time', so we always come when called.
The Buggies (Most are unnamed either cuz I couldn't tell them apart, or cuz I ran out of good, suiting ones; the ones listed here are those with the names or....'nicknames') :
Tiger beetles
Migoto: She named me that cause of my beautiful patterns. I think it's suitable.
Jolt, Dart, Speedy, and Blur: She named us for our speed. Of which we are very proud of, so we are proud of those names.
Snail: Though mine's supposed to be ironic. It ticks me off. :anger
Mantids
Aithne: My human's friend named me, and although my human doesn't actually know what it means, she thought it sounded pretty and exotic. So it stuck.
Twiggy: She basically named me for what I remind her of... <_<
Churro: She named me for the mexican baked good that she loves.
Samurai: She named me as an 'opposite' of ninja, which she frequently associates us mantids as.
Takeo: She named me for the japanese word of 'strong, valiant male'. I guess it's alright since it pretty much describes me.
Antlion: I don't have an actual name, but sometimes she does call me Sugar Bowl for my previous home, or Apep after her antlion OC. It's some egyptian demon thing... But, no, I don't have an official name
Assassin Bug: Don't have a name either, but her sister refers to me as 'The Thing', emphasis included. My human playfully does the same thing sometimes. Either way, I take it as a compliment.
I just thought I'd post one on the off-chance that answering it would make you feel better in some way.
Surprisingly, it did make me feel better. Thanks. :)

Glad to hear it. :)
Spazz: How do you think you compare in spazziness to your human? :p
-
Spazz: Well, I think I'm spazzier! I'm asleep for most of the day, yes, but I pack my waking hours full of fun-ness!!!! More fun-ness than my human can possibly put in her waking hours!! :lol:
Me: :rolleyes:
-
What spazzy things do you do, exactly? :p
-
Spazz: Anything I can possibly think of!! Chaos ensues!! In fact, here's my schedule!!
-Go into a dead sleep for most of the day.
-Wake up and rush around the cage to the point of it being very noisy!!
-Once the humans can't take the noise anymore and so much as crack open that cage door, I'm off like a rocket!! If one could read my mind, it'd be like this:
"Ooooo, what this? What's that? Omg, is that edible? Nope, but I'll try to eat it anyway!! Aww, my humans took it away....I am sad.....Oh! What's that? Oooooo, an item that is not mine and possibly very valuable to my humans, I'll take it for my stash where I'll make sure they'll never see it in one piece again!! Lookie, a door!! Hey I can squeeze under it!! Squeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzeeeeee!!! Oh noes, the human's daddy! Awww, I'm in trouble, he scruffed me. I wonder what he's mad about.....Oh Well! Freedom!! Ooooo, rubber!!! Awww, they took that too....SOAP!!! Must eat....Awww, stop pulling me away from the good stuff! I'm sad again, Oh! What's this?!"
-And so on and so forth, all the while, running and bouncing like a maniac, never stopping, slamming into the wall a few times, but always ready to cause mischief!! OMG, what's that!? *sticks her nose in whatever it is she found*
-
Wow. *muttering to self* I hope you never discover caffeine… :p
(Some of those things remind me of our cat, Sasquatch, who's quite the spazz himselfóthough not nearly as nuts as that ferret. :p)
Shoogy and Gliga: What kind of enclosure are you kept in and what do you think of it? Do you have enough room to do any gliding, or do you have to be taken out for that?
-
Spazz: What's caffeine? Is it edible?!
Spazz on caffeine......wow, all hell just broke loose....
Sasquatch sounds like fun!! What kind of kitty is he? And yes, ferrets are insane, I can't think of a crazier pet....
Shoogy and Gliga: What kind of enclosure are you kept in and what do you think of it? Do you have enough room to do any gliding, or do you have to be taken out for that?
Shoogy: Our cage is huge! Multi-level and it's tall rather than wide to accomodate our arboreal habits.
Gliga: It does allow us to glide a little but not too much. That's why we enjoy play-time so much!!
Shoogy: But our cage is fun too! There's branches and toys and hammocks and pouches and ropes!! Lotsa climbing and lotsa fun!!
Me: A hastle to clean though.
Gliders: :D
-
Sasquatch sounds like fun!! What kind of kitty is he?
I'm not sure, exactly. He looks like a tabby, but he's got this long fur that reminds me of a Maine coon or something. Though it has nothing to do with his breed, he's also polydactyl; he has multiple toes: seven on each front paw and six on each back paw (and all but the extra toe on his right hind foot bear claws). My sister (who is technically his “official” owner) has called him by the actual term “spazz” (along with about a thousand other nicknames). :p He's definitely earned the title, given his status as high-speed hallway sprinter, household spelunker, self-appointed cleaner of butter dishes, explorer of bags and boxes both empty and full, toppler of knicknacks, creator of clutter avalanches, scarer of deer, climber of everything, and destroyer of feet. :lol
Have you seen the “Show us your critters! (http://gangoffive.net/index.php?showtopic=834)” thread yet? I've been posting photos of him there since we first got him as a kitten on August 27, 2009 (though I'm long overdue for another post :oops). Here's (http://gangoffive.net/index.php?showtopic=834&view=findpost&p=9132995) the first post. (The thread also includes photos of my brother's dearly departed leopard gecko, Tory.)
I got an idea for a new question series while asking the sugar glider one. :idea
Buggies: What do you think of your living quarters?
-
Sorry for the delay, got caught up in some other things and kept forgetting about it! :oops
AWWWWW!!! Kitten Sasquatch be sooo cute!! I wants to huggle him now, he be so adorable!! I also like how his siblings have all their cryptozoological names!
Oh!! Answer time!!
Mantids: It's not too big and has perches to chill on. But since we're not bugs that really need to move, we're content.
Tiger beetles: Running space is vital and this is the best our human can give us. So we like it.
Jolt: Speak for yourselves!! It needs to have more room!!
Me: Even if I can give you more room, you'll still be a klutz! :^.^:
Jolt: .......................So?
Assassin Bug: Mine's is the same habitat as the mantids and it could use a bit more features. But at least it's clean and I can climb a lot.
Takeo: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....
Me: I think he likes it! :lol:
Antlion: I can dig in it, so I'm happy... Though i do wonder why the sand has to be so many different colors.
Ants: We're good with it. It could be bigger so we can expand a bit more, but we make as much use as we can with what's given to us.
Amazons: We hate this confinement!! It's keeping us from our world domination scheme!!
-
Sorry for the delay, got caught up in some other things and kept forgetting about it! :oops
No problem. :) I know WAAAAAY too well what that's like. :rolleyes
Budgies and ratties: What scares/annoys you the most?
-
Budgies: Anything and everything HUMAN!!!
Me: I remember they flew away from everything you did....
Marble: Food-teasing's annoying!
Caramel: Making us go back in our cages before playtime's over without so much as a playful chase is annoying!
Domino: Forcing me to swim is annoying!! And scary!
Me: Domino's my only ratty that doesn't like swimming, to my sister's happiness <_<

To those of you who live in cages, terrariums, etc.: Have any of you ever escaped?
-
Me: Yes, they have!! Mostly my insect prisoners- I mean....pets.... :smile
Buggies: Awwww.....the joys of being arthropods! Our human sometimes forget that most of us can fly!! :lol
Me: :rolleyes:
Spazz: I learned how to break out of my old cage by squeezing through, but then they changed it so it'll be harder for me.... :(
-
Would any of you bugs care to share your escape stories?
-
Hey Domino, how things with you and your Mama, Sparky? ^^
-
Hey fellas! :wave Long time, no questions.
Roll call time! Who's living with Sparky right now? Anyone new? (My fondest regards to those of you who have passed on or moved to new homes.)

Assassin Bug- When that human's sister first tried to play with me, I bit her and she dropped me. Unfortunately, I was caught before I could go far...
Tiger Beetles- *mocks the Assassin* Ha! We always go far in our attempts :nyah !
Blur- One time, when our human picked me up (this was before I marked them, so I'm just winging it on who it was I picked up), and I was so calm she let me chill on her hand instead of holding me like usual. That's when I flew off! :p She was reminded instantly that we could fly!! It took her hours to find me again and even longer to catch me :lol !!
Churro- I don't get why you guys try to run away. :rolleyes: Closest I come to escaping is jumping on my human's head, then onto a plant nearby.
Antlion- Awww, it's physically impossible for me to escape, now I- oooo, an earwig! Mine! Nomnomnom.
Ants- Ooooo! We always find a way out, and now we can begin our conquest for world domination!! Oh crap, the giant pink thing (called a finger) is back!! Bite it, bite it, bite it!! Oh noes, we be back in the antfarm..... <_<
Hey Domino, how things with you and your Mama, Sparky? ^^
It be going good!! Our bond especially got stronger when Caramel and Marble went away :cry . We miss them and for a while, my human and I were the only ones we had. But everything's going well now!! My human got me more friends!!

Antlion- Right now, I'm the only bug. Hopefully it'll stay that way!! :DD
Knaw and Skeet- *sniffs ya* Who be you?! What's going on?! Do you have any food?!
Domino- I got new friends!! :D
-
Domino, Knaw, and Skeet: Pattern-wise, what do you guys look like? (Your hoomin might have told me before at some point, but I've forgotten. :oops)
-
:lol :lol :lol That's alright!!
Knaw- I'm a simple albino, our hoomin's first albino. I think she loved my eyes!!
Skeet- I'm black with a white belly and white cuffs on my forepaws! *lifts his paws as if to show off :DD *
Domino- I look like Skeet, but I have the white stretch over my muzzle and up my face. I also have a shinier, smoother coat!
-
Double post :p
Antlion- Right now, I'm the only bug. Hopefully it'll stay that way!!
All I can say is: HA HA!!
I just wanna share that I recently acquired another antlion!! I found him at work, and decided to bring him home! I'mma name him Apep after my antlion OC. :DD
Current Antlion- How come I don't get a name? *already jealous*
Sparky- You live in multicolored sand that you regularly doodle upon! You don't need a name!! :lol
Antlion- Yes I do! :anger
Sparky- Alright. Seeing as now I have two of you, I guess I can name you Picasso!
Picasso- I'm happy now! :D

That's fantastic! :D
Picasso: How old are you at this point, if you don't mind me asking? :p Or, if you prefer, how long have you been living with Sparky?
-
Picasso- My exact age isn't really easy to determine as my hoomin never had me as an egg. However, the hoomin she got me from stated that he tries to sell the youngest ones, so yeah! :D I've been with my hoomin since September 6...ish..., 2010, so she considers that my birthday!
