An exotic pet is a rare or unusual animal pet, or an animal kept as a pet which is not commonly thought of as a pet.

The definition is an evolving one; some rodents, reptiles, and amphibians have become firmly enough established in the world of animal fancy to no longer be considered exotic. Sometimes any unique or wild-looking pet (including common domestic animals such as the ferret and the domestic rat) is called an exotic pet. "Exotic" may also be used for a species which is non-indigenous to the owner's locale.

Many major pet stores and service providers (such as veterinary insurance carriers or online retailers) tend to classify any animal besides cats, dogs, small birds or fish as "exotic".

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.
