Hey, my favourite (wild) animal is a fox too! I've liked them for a very long time... They're just such beautiful creatures. Did you ever see one in the wild? I saw one entering a chicken farm once (can you guess why
) and I believe I've seen one skulking around the streets here once... I may of seen others but I forgot. They're very elusive, amazing really.
My favourite domestic animal is a gerbil! I've had quite a few different pets in my time but I've decided to keep gerbils now for good because I just love them so much. They're so lively and they don't have a set sleeping pattern. They just take naps for awhile then muck about then take a nap. So this means unlike hamsters, you're likely to see one or the other doing stuff in the day etc. which is more interesting. Although also means I wheel them (on a wheely set of shelves) into a spare room at night incase they get noisy! They're easy to keep happy too because they are happy to shred cardboard toilet tissue rolls all day! They got little cute habits like playfighting, standing up on their hindlegs like meerkats, thumping their feet like rabbits (warns of danger), eskimo kissing (rubbing noses to communicate), rolling in sand etc. They have powerful hind legs and can jump high or run fast. OK I'll stop now...
