There is no limit to the type of animal that can be represented on the site, so unlike other niche communities for pet owners that focus only on cats or dogs (or both), Fun-e-pets has additional sections for birds, fish, horses, hamsters, and more. There are main sections for videos and photos, where you can browse through the media that’s been uploaded by other users. There’s also an option of sending media directly to your account from your mobile phone. For each item in the media sections, there are several actions you can take: email it to friends, submit it to a slew of social bookmarking sites, add it to other social networking sites like MySpace and Friendster, add to favorites, blog about it, etc. Surprisingly, I don’t see a way to comment on media, which limits the interactive discussions that can take place amongst users.
