08-12-04, 11:39 PM You can have all kind and number of animals you like as long as their total HD's are not greater than your druid level (except at 1st level you can have 2 HD's worth of animals).
It's all well explained in the PHB and in the Animal Friendship spell (also see Masters of the Wild if you have it available).

08-13-04, 11:59 AM According to 3e rules, you can have as many animal companions as you want, as long as no single animal has more HD than you have druid levels, and the total HD of all your animal companions is no more than twice your druid level.
