Well, i reared a baby rhinoceros but as it got bigger it kept getting out the gate and charging Land Rovers going past.
My mate sponsored a snow leopard, fed it milk, but as it grew one day it mauled his mother-in-law and she needed 46 stitches.

My crowning achievement was finding a baby hedgehog, on a path,during my delivery. It was about a week old. It loved in our garden til it was about 10yrs. Over the years we have mostly had birds. People used to knock and ask my dad ' can you do anything with that . We had a baby mallard, once. It used to go to be in an old rabbit hutch. Down side was it ate.all our goldfish!. But it was a lovely animal. Loads of other bird types too.

I played quail sounds on my phone and it got excited, but it just refused to eat.
Those quail sounds could have been quailese for don't eat that it's poison. We once recorded a robin singing and played it back to it. It went bonkers. Because it saw its own song as a rival male and wanted to have a go, very terratorial animals.

I've raised some turtles, frogs, a tarantula, etc.
Painted turtles, red-eared sliders, can do well, but need a strong light source as basking is a critical component for their happiness.
Box turtles - forget about it, really, they are born to roam. They can survive a terrarium, but may not thrive.
My favorite wild pet was a female bullfrog that literally showed up at my back door many years ago. It was Thanksgiving eve and the weather had been unseasonably warm and rainy for a couple of days. I was taking the dog out before bed and there on my back door stoop, which is almost four feet high, was a lady bullfrog. She had to have hopped up the steps and why, I don't know. She was about the size of my hand and didn't even try to hop away. I was concerned since it was going to drop below freezing that night, so I picked her up and set up a terrarium with a 30-gallon aquarium that wasn't being used. We kept her over the winter by feeding her crickets, worms, etc. from a local bait shop. She did quite well and got nice and fat. When spring came we turned her loose at a pond near my house.
It's weird, but ever since that, and I'm sure it's not related, when we've had a long summer dry spell, it's almost inevitable that a pickerel frog or two will come to our house and hang around our yard dog's water dish. You walk up to it and they bail out. Then, a few hours later, they're back again.

I tried raising a quail chick that I found in the middle of the road, seemingly abandoned. 'They' do say to leave fledglings, that they are impossible to raise, but I gave its mother a chance to return and it didn't, so I gave it a go. They were right. It died after a few days. I played quail sounds on my phone and it got excited, but it just refused to eat.
Do you still enjoy abusing animals, retard? Librarian, eh? Perhaps you should have read up on the subject a bit, imbecile.

I'd also like to pull my "it shrunk" card too.
You had me worried when I saw the word ' pull'.

Don't be so harsh. The baby probably would've died anyway. He gave it a try.
Agreed. Sounds like his intentions were good, if ill-advised. Something most of us would probably try in good faith. No need for name-calling.
