Super friendly, easy kept and you get the bonus of eggs every morning. My 3 year old loves the three chickens we have in the garden. Makes her day going down each morning to let them out and collect the eggs. Link to comment
spamspamspam Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 obvious one but a goldfish. My niece is 5 and she loves her 2 fish. Only problem is you'd have to set up the tank a day or 2 before. You get kids tanks in places like pets at home down the beach. Wholoe lot would cost about 30 quid. Link to comment

That's more for foxes and badgers when it begins to get dark. We've a big wall surrounding our garden which is fox and badger proof due to the height. If not you can build a decent sized run using chicken wire cheap as chips and make sure they are back inside the coop before it gets to dusk. Seriously the chickens we have are like kids themselves. Great fun. Link to comment
Dandyesque Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 The chicken idea is a good one - my mum's neighbours have a few and the wee man loves speaking to them Otherwise, get a cat. Cats rule. Supreme predators for their size - if you get a good mouser, it's an education in evolution just watching the f**ker. And they like cuddles - double win. Link to comment

Coopy100 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Budgie. f**king ace pets. You can cut there talons on your own as well. Link to comment
daytripping Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Something that doesn't last too long, kids get bored quickly. I've had loads of animals over the years and think a budgie is probably the lowest maintenance out of the lot of them. I've got a dog and cat just now but would never replace them when they pop off, just takes too much work, especially the dog. Link to comment

InTaeEm Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Catch a bee, freeze it, tie string around it once frozen and simply wait for it to defrost... that will be good fun for a couple hours I guess... and cool to annoy friends with! Link to comment
The Boofon Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 This came up in conversation on Friday evening. I can't recall how we got onto the subject but J was saying how much your wee one enjoys going down to collect the eggs. She sure does. The sh*t is great for the compost as well. Chickens are all win win and there is no negatives to keeping them. Even when they're deid you can use the feathers to refill a pillow or two. Chop one of their heads off and you have a Darren Mackie impersonation. So many uses. Link to comment
