Hi everyone,

I'm a Master's student (in my 40s!) from Ireland and I'm doing a study on how non-traditional animals can contribute to well-being for my final thesis. I am looking for people 65+ who own any type of pet other than a dog or a cat.

Almost all the research on how pets benefit our lives focus only the two most common pets (dogs and cats) and I wanted to look at how other creatures can also be great companions.

Most research also focuses on people in their 20s and that's why I wanted to speak with older people.

If you, or anyone you know qualifies and would be willing to have a chat with me (about 45 mins online) about your snakes, reptiles, tortoises or any other unusual pet please send me a message.

Thank you!

Cathy
