Hey guys! Well, the other pet our family has, is a winter white hamster. Sadly, she died today:( We will probably get another one soon though. What other pets do you guys have?

Hi there! I went on a 6 month or so hiatus, in part due, and in part cause of the death of my colonies.
However, I went back to the Sierras, and restarted my collection, which is now as follows:
Aphaenogaster uinta, Camponotus vicinus, Camponotus modoc, Formica cf. aserva, Formica cf. micropthalma, Formica cf. manni, Formica subpolita, Formica cf. subaenescens, Lasius americanus, Manica invidia, Pogonomyrmex salinus, Pogonomyrmex sp. 1, Solenopsis validiuscula, & Solenopsis sp. 3 (new Sierra variant).

It seems a good percentage of ant keepers also have cats......

I also have a cat, plus legions of fish (if 7 counts as legions...). I also used to keep ducks (I had 4, but 1 died 
).

We don't 
Well we rarely do, but most of these animals are self sufficient to some extent. The rest can be given away temporarily. Another thing is my family usually travels with one member at home to take care of animals and plants.
