What Is This Pet I Bought?

[chuppachops]

ive bought this great pet i think its a chipmunk, but all the pictures of chipmunks i found all have strpies. Mine is a red/brown colour but with no stripes i bought him from a pet shop she said it was a "garrot" hes only small as hes about 2 months old now has a big bushy tail like a squirrel. he also hides food in his box but i never see him with his cheeks full like what a chipmunk or squirrel does.

and im 100 % sure hes not a mouse or rat!

hes so much fun and great to watch!

i cant work out how to put pictures on here so i cant do that.

D'oh,

She said he was a กระรอก "gra-rawk"

Squirrel.

A ferret. Rather popular as pets but kind of high maintenance. They tear things up.

"Garrot" not quite a parrot

[bob4you]

I suspect you bought a "sugar glider", native of Australia but quite common in pet shops and JJ market these days. They really are nocturnal, sleeping daytime more active at night.

[chuppachops]

thanks! i searched fo rimages of กระรอก gra-rwark and hes in there so guess hes a squirrel then!

It's a Norwegian Glue.

Seriously though, don't buy pets without Googling what the F* it is and what sort of care is required. That's almost as silly as bringing back people to your room sans gender confirmation.

I'm going to guess Honda 125?

I didn't know you were Witty, Winnie!

A friend of mine who is a ferret freak told me they sell both ferrets and sugar gliders at JJ. I just guessed ferret because it sounds like garrot!

Strange hearing-aid you've got there, have you tried fresh batteries?

Stick to starting 5 polls a day .....

You don't think they sound similar? Thai people often make major pronunciation errors such as garrot/ferret. Let me know if you need help to start polls as you sound jealous.

You're right. I am deaf. To you.

I find it quite extraordinary that anybody would buy an animal to keep as a pet without knowing what it is, what conditions it needs to live, what it eats, and so on. Are you so irresponsible, OP?

[anothertorres]

Gremlin?

We built a big cage in the living room for him, he loves it and is very happy and well looked after. they make great pets!

[TigertheCat]

Could be a Sumatran Rat Monkey,quite rare and very dangerous,if you get bitten by one of these you will turn into a zombie.

If you have seen the movie Braindead aka Dead Alive you will know what I mean
