A. Get a hedgehog. I've had them, and they are wonderful creatures. Mine would play tug of war with me, and eat food from my hand, even swim in the bathtub. They are funny little things and a lot of fun. He lived for about 10 years. :)

A. You would probably have to go to school for a couple of years & learn about the animals you are working with. Knowledge doesn't come over night or instantly. It takes time to learn. If you were working with just one species a little knowledge goes a long ways but when you have to many specialized pets you need to know about all of them. What kind of help could you provide for each & every exotic pet that is in the shop. Right now you couldn't help any one cause you don't know yourself. Even if you bought a book on each of the animals to study the main things about each one it would still take you a long time to learn the things you need to know.

In Pennsylvania, Do you need a exotic pet license to own a Capuchin Monkey as a pet?
Q. I want to get a Capuchin Monkey as a pet. They look like a cool pet. But I don't know if I need a Exotic Pet License.
Asked by Becca - Thu Jan 8 18:17:58 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I live in Pennsylvania, too. I wanted to get a Common Marmoset Monkey, but after doing my homework and checking with the laws and regulations I found out that it is illegal to keep ANY primate without an exotic license. The thing is, Pennsylvania is not giving out license for primates because of the well being of the human. I'm sorry, but you can't own a primate unless you do this illegally and take the chance of getting your primate taken away from you and authenticated. Not to mention getting a hefty fine. I don't advise you to do this illegally, for the primates safety.

A. It varies by state, county, and even township. And of course, by animal. They may be legal but require special permits or licenses. Once you have a specific type of animal in mind, contact your County rep, or go to town hall to get all the ordinances. Before you get your new exotic pet, PLEASE make sure there is a local vet willing to treat that type of animal. Many vets will not see exotics, or will charge a very high fee just to walk in the door.

A. There are several vet clinics listed on Hedgehog Central that deal with hedgehogs and other exotics. Since you have the option, I would visit several and see which one you feel most comfortable dealing with, rather than picking one and later being disappointed. Good luck!

What are the rules of buying an exotic pet?
Q. I know that buying some animals are illegal, if someone could come up with a list of animals that are LEGAL to buy (And listen, im not talking to the sarcastic people who will say dog, cat, Im talking EXOTIC pets, please) thanks for your help! OH! and i know you must have a permit and stuff, so just think of it like i have everything but the pet ;] PS im in Georgia
Asked by aiya - Tue Jun 3 16:44:24 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. First you have to know what animals are legal where you live because different places have different rules about that. Then you have to do lots and lots of research on whatever species you're interested in and carefully think about what your life and home are suitable for. There is no universal exotic animal setup because of the drastically different needs of each species. You also have to have a vet nearby who knows how to treat your chosen species, as well as a lot of money so you can afford all the proper food, housing, vet bills, and whatever else it needs.

What is a good idea for an exotic pet?
Q. I've always really wanted a pet that isn't along the lines of gerbils, hamsters, fish, and parakeets. Does anyone know an exotic pet that's not to expensive, but not to cheap? I want something cute and lovable!
Asked by Maddie - Sun Nov 23 19:09:55 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Chinchillas Costs: $150-$190 @ Pet stores $150-$350 @ breeder I would suggest going onto Pet Finder, Kijiji, Craigslist or something of that sort. There are many chinchillas that need homes and the owners are willing to give them away for free! Ferrets are very cute and playful! Turtles/Tortoises are amazing if you ask me. And really if you play with them everyday they will be used to human interaction. They are very cool animals. Cost depends on what type you want. You may not be into amphibians, but you should just go to this website and look at them. There are some that are really adorable! Sugar Gliders cost $80-$200 dollars. Depends who you purchase them from. You could also look at Pet Finder and other websites for them. Degu- [cont.]

A. None of them. Large cats are wild animals and not pets. All of them would also be expensive to feed as all cats (including domestic cats) or oblagate carnivores (meaning they have to eat meat to survive) Having a big cat is more than a matter of a lot of work. These animals will never be a pet they will always be wild and are very powerful and could easily kill you or someone else. They may not even mean too humans are fragile creatures when compared to theses powerful animals and can easily be killed or severly injured just by the cat trying to play with the human like they would another cat. Please do not try to get a big cat as a pet there are enough how are euthanized or put into rescue because people thought the would make a… [cont.]

What is the best exotic pet to have?
Q. My 12 year old son is always asking for exotic pets but I do not know what is nice, tame, and exotic. Any ideas?
Asked by Bennett - Wed Nov 25 19:33:25 2009 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 1. a hand fed parrot. Like a handfed budgerigar parakeet, lovebird, or greencheek conure from a breeder would be suitable for a child. they are $15-40 for budgies, $50-100 for lovebirds, and $150-300 for GCCs. Keep in mind Greencheek conures live around 20-30 years. 2. A tame rat. They are playful, sweet, and love to interact with people. Get 2 for company, breeders usually charge around $6 for well bred rats in any color. Do not go to a petsore unless they handle the rats themselves and can show you how tame they are. Rats shouldn't bite or run away if they are tame. They usually like to sit on your shoulder and help you open candy wrappers. :)

what would be a low maintenance small exotic pet?
Q. i wanna get a small exotic pet (i.e. a lizard, mouse, rat) but i also want it to be low maintenance and easy to take care of. any suggestions?
Asked by Joe - Sat Jan 24 19:15:26 2009 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Chinchillas are not low maintenance! - Michael. About Chinchillas: I have 2 chinchillas but they are very expensive! Ideally you should get 2 chinchillas as they will get lonely and depressed on their own. They cost between 80 to 150 each You will need a LARGE cage with lots of shelfs and height is more important than width. As chinchillas like to run and jump they need the room to do so. The cages cost about 80. You will also need to buy the following: Dust bath - 10 Dust 3 (which will last about 3 weeks) House - 10 Litter - 9 (a large bag will last 2 months) Wood to knaw on or they will develop teeth problems that can kill them Toys to occupy them. that will be destroyed and need replacing on a monthly basis.

I also have a Goffin Cockatoo named Elvis. He is special because in the wild, they are virtually extinct. The only ones still alive are those bred in captivity.

Asked by ~Moony Weasley~ - Thu Oct 29 17:16:56 2009 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I'm thinking a small snake. Like a corn snake or king snake. Only thing they need is food, which you can buy in bulk, frozen, and thaw it out for them, change their water when they need it and give them a place to hide. Other than that, just make sure the temp is right in their tank and you should be good to go ^^ I'm also in agreement with the person below me ^^ the only reason I didn't suggest them first is because you need to start with a ten gallon and work your way up to a big enough enclosure for life. It can get a little expensive in that area, but really, its worth it! They are very docile and wonderful pets.
