Tell him he has to say it like Tim the magician, "I tooold yew!" with an accent

I grew up on a rabbit farm so your dad would not have done well there. As a kid though one of the few things I could do is feed them. The smell of pellets actually makes me hungry though I can't remember ever tasting the rabbits' food

I'll pm you, I just have to know the story

Not many people realize that they go out in hunting parties. Usually they hunt monkeys and other small game, but they do kill and eat chimpanzees from other family groups. Its usually the males who go out and kill for food, but they take the meat they hunt and exchange it with females for the privilege of mating with them later.

ANYWAYS.....

I would like chickens, but only if someone else is cleaning up after them. I would love to hatch out some chicken eggs someday!

Agree about the chimpanzees, they can be really dangerous and shouldn't be kept as pets.

Chickens though, they're easy to clean up after! The way we always did it with our flock is with what I think is called the deep bedding system. The floor is dirt and dug down a bit, then strewn with straw. As the chickens dirty it you put down more straw so they always have clean to walk on. In the spring or summer when you can let the chickens out in the yard again (or after you've sent them for processing) you open up all the doors to the barn and you shovel it all out into piles and let it rot for a couple of years before you try to use it on your garden! It could be as much as a foot deep packed depending on the size of your barn and the number of chickens but there will be a lot. Then you put down fresh straw and start all over again!

Capuchin Monkeys as Pets


If you want a monkey so badly, you can just have my brother! He lives on a steady diet of bacon and star bursts, and probably won't rip your eyes out!

[Esmy]

No, cause being a kid, I will bet anything he doesn't have the cutness factor that the monkey does. Haha! And unless he wants raw bacon.. he'd be in trouble.

Ok yeah I'll take that monkey. lol

They're cute, just be sure to check your local laws. They're illegal here without a permit. You may have heard the case of the Ikea monkey?
