The man in the pet shop said they'd grow no bigger than a carp. Costing me a bloody fortune in krill so far plus I haven't seen one of my mates for weeks since she went to feed the buggers

I used to have degus, they really are the cutest most entertaining pet I've ever kept.
I'd also like to get some Sugar Gliders in the not too distant future.

They are fantastic creatures. A friend at Uni had one and I used to feed it cockroaches. They can grow up to 20 odd inches, so be warned!

You should have saved your money.
They don't eat krill

Keep the dog away from it!
Assuming those hairs are from your dog and not a member of the Leekbrookgull family.

No wonder my friend disappeared. They must have been bloody starving.
We have a chinchilla.

We now have a skinny pig. Cute in an ugly sort of way. One grey ear, one pink.
It is growing some ginger fuzz now, though, and I'm wondering if the pet shop shaved him.

I have a Leopard Gheko who is now 18.

That reminds me of a story. A good friends' mother bought a budgerigar to pair off with her lady budgie. Apparently he refused to befriend her and was prone to bouts of violence. The pet shop would take him back, but not offer a refund. I am minded to believe that he is/was a rogue who was shipped out fairly regularly and returned without costing the shop anything.
my best unusual pets was a couple of cuttlefish hatched from eggs off a lobsterpot bouy .
incredible to watch as they grew they started life about the size of a pea and grew very quick . i started feeding them these shrimp egg things that you hatch and very quickly moved on to tiny live crabs /prawns etc the cuttle grow very fast and seem almost insatiable but need very frequent water changes (ink) and plenty of live food
