It's messy & hard work to put an insect in a pot?

Maybe you're tired & cranky

It is better in a pot than in a bugwidge.

As I alighted on this thread, I had the sinking feeling its another one of those hamwitch ones that goes on for 15 pages and achieves naught. Enjoy your day y'all.....

Well. I don't understand the pets at home reference tbh.

But, bugs in a pot?

Well depends what type of bug I suppose?

Doesn't sound that messy and hard work. I don't imagine the bug is happy though. Poor bug. Sad Has it got food and water?

I think it may be depressed and best that you release it......

I would just set the bug free, it'll be easier that way.

Are you saying she is not allowed any pet at all? Or just the bug?

Pets are good for children, teaches them some responsibility and caring.

Are you in the uk? If you describe the bug maybe we can identify it and tell you what it might eat.

It might be a bit cruel though if it's a flying insect and it's confined to a little pot. I also imagine it would get pretty hot in a pot in this weather.

Yawn

Don't let her put bugs in pots because it's cruel to bugs.

The bug will not have made your DD poorly.

Oh boy, you're back. And FYI- it's allowed not aloud Confused
