Why did you tell her that? Tell her it's decor.

How about a small animal necklace?

Leave the live animals out of it. Anything you can buy at the pet store will not be suitable to release/abandon in your back yard.

Buy a stuffed dragon or something equally fanciful.

Please don't release a wild animal, OP. How about a dinosaur?

Umm, don't buy a pet just to release. This is how we end up with gold fish completly destroying local lake native fish population.

I agree with using a stuffed or plastic animal.

How old is dd? Just tell her you were joking. Then read a book about birds or hatching or whatever.

I am refraining from adding rude or nasty comments to this one, but it's seriously killing me...

I hate to break it to you, but animals don't exist to amuse your child.

Especially baby animals.

Especially animals you can buy from a store, which generally aren't something generic from your backyard, hence the reason for a special store.

We have a decorative glass or marble looking egg that I bought at some store. So I told DD something will hatch. Maybe a crocodile, maybe something else.

She's been waiting for it to hatch. Is there something I can buy at a pet store that I can pretend hatched and release it out into the back yard?
