Miniature sheep in the city?

[Usarka]

Is it legal to have a miniature sheep as a pet in Auckland?

I'm sick of mowing the lawn.

And if I get sick of the sheep I have a roast.

Where can you get miniature sheep? I want a couple for my semi-rural property. Only option I have seen is to import from Aussie . (Miniature sheep actually 'babydoll' english breed)

[Usarka]

Sorry mate I don't have a supplier. Was just thinking "hey a miniature sheep would be cool", googled it and saw they exist.

Can you keep a normal sheep as a pet in urban environs?

[hellokitty]

what about a miniature pony? I want one...... it would be great! Plus lots of poos for the garden....

I want to be there when you pick up a Sheep named "Babydoll" from the airport. Please let me know when you plan to do this.

Ring your local Council. They will tell you what livestock are permitted on your property.

A couple of friends up the coast, in suburbia, kept a couple of sheep. Chucked them in the paddock and promptly got rid of them after a few weeks as the place was completely covered in shite.

People are allowed to keep pigs n'est pas?

[Shadows]

Miniature sheep are often referred to as "lambs". Get a couple of those, and if they start to get too big simply eat them and get some more.

Failing that, get some chickens. They fuck lawns.

[Usarka]

Nah they're for real bro.

Babydoll sheeps.

Get a goat. You'll only need one, and the damn thing will keep them nice and trimmed. Forever.

OK, I'm stupid. How do you tell that they are miniature sheep from the photo? Sit further back?

'Cause you would have paid someone $3000 for one.

They're not new, in fact they're an ancient Southdown.

This is so true, I have one in my meadow and the amount of shit is unreal, and thats just one. He does have a lot of character, and is a lot smarter than many would guess, not to mention a surprisingly good memory!

Do they eat mint?

Do they eat mint?

They eat cabages, lettiuce, beetroot, sprouts, leeks and cauliflower.

Just the once, though.

Turned on to the motorway on-ramp not far from the centre of Brisvegas this afternoon and there was a very large Diamond Python slithering along in lane two.

If you want to have your lawns fucked, then get a British Bulldog - my dog scratched my lawn to hell and now we have a mud bath!

No problem with miniatures,how else do dwarfs have fun,normal people have normal sheep,so why prejudice the little people.

[Berries]

Dwarfs is not PC. The term is midget.

Naa ... you'll find them more hassle than a lawn mower .. first of all they'll eat everything except the grass - which they will eat last ... then you wil need to dip them every few weeks (a pour on will do ...) and drench them for worms (no pour on - you pour it down their throats) then you wil need to dag them at least three times a year .. and finally get them shorn at least once a year .. if not twice ...

And finally .. Mashman is right ...

Yes .. but they'll also eat Rosemary - which makes them taste even better ..
