I was reading a post from this year about hoarding I wondered if anyone thinks I am hoader as we have quite a few animals:

8 soon to be 9 piggies
1 chinchilla
3 dogs
9 hamsters
3 goldfish

though I was thnking to myself, there are probably people on here who have more animals than me and we always take the dogs out every night, let the piggies in the run and the chinchilla out for a run every night - hamsters come out few times a week in their balls and i clear the poops from the piggies everyday, do their food, water and hay and they are all kept clean and I care for them...I was just thinking god i wonder if people in work think i am a hoader :o
 
I think whether you are classed as a "hoarder" or not depends on the person being accused.

For example, if someone has 3 hamsters but can't care for them, then they have too many, therefore they could be classed as a hoarder. However, someone could have as many pets as yourself, and care for them in a great way and give them everything they need, therefore they're not a hoarder.

That's my opinion anyway. It all depends on the person and whether they have the time and money to care for the amount of animals they have.
 
I see what you are saying - i have seen these animals programmes where the people are hoarders and have loads of animals and are living in horrible conditions, living in their own poo and just dont care for them - I am not like that and I do care for them all, so hopefully that doens't class me as a hoarder!
 
oh your not an animal hoarder but just an animal LOVER O0

I am really abd for keeping cards..... birthday, christmas etc etc. I even have the sympathy cards the fmaily got when my gran died. Bob goes made at me as i have boxes full but i can't part with them. xx
 
I'm like you Sarah I keep cards and anything like that! I have bag fulls but can't part with them some are special from my Grandad and people like that. :smitten:

No you are not a hoarder Wales as its been said a hoarder is someone who has the animals but doesn't put in the care.

I have 10 pigs and 2 rabbits heres how it happened...lol

Got Sunshine from a pet shop, two weeks later got Twinkle from P@H, then got Cuzzy from P@H another 2 weeks later.

Cuzzy fell out with Sunshine so seperated Cuzzy from the group he became a house pig and I got Eccles from a vets for him.

In August before I got Eccles I thought a couple of girls would be nice so I got Flora and Fleur from Graham.

In October after 3 weeks of illness Cuzzy passed over to the rainbow bridge so I got Pudsey from P@H adoption so Eccles could have a cage mate.

Sunshine and Twinkle then fell out and had to be seperated and lived in Nero 3's next to each other but I wanted friends for them both when they got over the teenage stage.

Then Fleur turned hormonal and was not getting on great with Flora so I thought if I adopted 2 babes to act as mum Fleur may settle and it worked and I got Amber and Pearl from Graham/Helen.

I picked up Radley from a free ads and was going to rehome him but I thought I would try him with Sunshine and it worked!

I then got Milo from Becca for Twinkle and they bonded too.

So you see in my case and many cases it is just circumstances. If mine wouldn't of fell out or got narky I wouldn't have quite so many but I love them all and if I had funds for more and space I would have them as they are great!

I want a tortoise at some point too! ;D
