My Complete Animal List

Last Updated: 4/5/08

This is a really complete list of all the animals currently in my care.

For quantity and dates, ~ means about and is probably an estimate or educated guess.

There are links to the appropriate pages on my web site for each of the species and specific animals. Those pages have photos and complete histories on all the animals.

The mammals receive all natural foods and regular veterinary care. The reptiles and birds occasionally have to go to the vet as well for various problems. I cannot find a fish vet but treat the fish for problems as they arise.

I will remove animals that die from this list and add in new animals.

Wild animals (that I did not introduce) are not included in this list.

Total number of mammals listed below = 8
Total number of reptiles listed below = 2
Total number of birds listed below = 5
Total number of fish listed below = approximately from 147 to 169
Total number of amphibians, snails, insects, worms, etc. = 100's
