Gazelle owner questions

[moribundman]

How do you keep your gazelle from jumping the fence?

Seriously, the two recent threads regading cats and dogs got me thinking about what problems a pet owner of exotic pets might encounter. I can't even imagine letting reptilians loose in my house, yet a friend of mine has geckos and a lizard roam freely.

How big are they? It seems like they could crawl into the ventilation ducts or worse if they were small.

i imagine that keeping a gazelle in wouldnt be much different from keeping the deer out of the garden. 8ft fence.

I don't know about a gazelle - but to keep deer out of your garden here you need that 8' fence or more. And it doesn't hurt to add an electric fence a few feet away.

A guy up the road has emu's and lamma's - which is very cool to see. He just has a normal fence (2x3" wire). It is very funny when one of his kid's has a lamma on a leash and is taking it for a walk. I'll get some pics and post.

I thought you were talking about the gazelle advertised on latelight TV.

Yeah, people here in CA keep llamas, camels, ostriches, and emus. But they're not pets! Suddenly seeing a bunch of wild turkeys sharing the California hills with a bunch of camels is just weird. Actually, the US Army did use some camels during the last century.


My friend's geckos are about a foot long. His lizard is a little smaller, but they all seem to get along just fabulously. Reptilians stink. Make sure they don't whizz on you or your clothes. It's rank.

Please, enlighten me. What kind of gazelle is that?
