Re question 1. Regular or freeze dried?

1. Probably 18.
2. Are you kidding? Greased pig. No contest.

1. In the comfort sense or stacked? I've never been one to cubically square my sheep.

2. Greased pig - Wouldn't stand a chance vs. my dog, but the lasting result would be completely fucked wooden floors and the loss of the deposit.

1. With milling room, ten.
2. I couldn't sleep with a greased pig running around, and a cobra is just too... deadly. Gotta go with the rat. He'd just find a corner and chew on things.

Sugary gliders, say?

1. 60, maybe. Unstacked.
2. The pig, fucker.

Well, I'm in an open-plan office covering a whole floor, so I'd say a couple of hundred in each layer and you could probably stack them four high.

The pig would be cool entertainment value.

No stacking and none in my bed, 10, maximum. Stacked and bedded, 34 easy.

Since I've already been invaded by local fieldmice, I'll take the sewer rat. He'll evict or eat the little pests and I'll only have one big pest to catch later.

I don't think I could fit very many sheep in here. Maybe 8 or 10.

And I'd take the greased pig. I think piggies are cute and they're pretty smart.

Cobras are just creepy and deadly. And the rat would meet my cat and my psychotic cat would definitely win.

Rats eat mice, wendell? How terrible...I always thought of rats as big brothers to the mice.

1. Two. Three if sheared.

2. Ratsy + 3 catsy = high corral action.

1. Probably 20 or so. Two or three more if they're allowed to get on the furniture. And why not on the furniture? The cats and dog are allowed.

2. Greased pig. The cats and dog would go after the rat or cobra and I'm afraid they (my animals) would be on the losing end.

1. A dozen sheep, give or take, unstacked, off furniture.
2. Sewer rat, to give the cats a run for their money. They could use some exercise.
