Exotic pets are becoming quite popular. It isn’t hard to see why: many of them are very beautiful. They can also be quite fascinating to watch. However, there are some things to consider before adopting one.
One of the main things to think about is how much space your pet will need. Some exotics do fine in tanks, while others need fairly large cages or enclosures. Don’t just rely on pet store workers. Many may mean well, but it’s important to keep in mind that pet store managers sometimes focus more on sales tactics than pet care. Therefore, staff may not be as knowledgeable about pets as one may expect. Do some research, and look up the minimum size cage requirements. Ideally, you’ll want to get something that is bigger than that, but you’ll at least want to make sure you don’t go smaller.
Be sure to ask your local animal hospital Anderson IN for specific care tips for your exotic pet.
