Not all unusual exotic animals make good pets.  Please research carefully before you purchase, and schedule a no-charge pre-purchase consultation with one of our veterinary team members. Many unusual exotic pets experience high levels of stress with handling, and some can be dangerous to veterinary staff.  For these reasons, sedation may be mandatory.

The following guide provides information on the suitability of many different exotic animals sometimes kept as pets

We use protocols from accredited zoos with on-site nutrition experts for diet recommendations for unusual exotic pets, and do not rely on advice from breeders for the pet trade or other owners of these pets.  Excellent sources of zoo-quality diets include Mazuri.com.

Do not attempt to create a home-made diet for any pet without consulting a professional nutritionist.  We can provide contact information for these professionals who will help design a home-made diet specifically for your pet.
