I reckon Guinea Pigs make great pets for young kids.
Mines asked for a lizard when we get there though

Reptiles, fish, birds etc. The usual really. Pets shops here sell puppies and kittens :curse: , personally I dont go into those and instead use the RSPCA shop.
As anywhere heaps of animials need a good home so you can always do the kind thing and give a home to a dog etc.

Big Spiders!
Sorry, they are my one big fear.
Maybe something to eat the big spiders?

Do they do goats in Oz? (Never remember seeing any)
Anyway, they are the BEST pets, as long as you have a BIG garden

There are apparently loads of wild goats in Oz. I was very suprised when I heared that the other day.

Why do you think there is a fence which crosses nearly half the continent designed to stop their spread?
Do you know why myxamatosis was invented?
