Exotic Animal Information Sheets
Only the Best for your Best Friend
With all the information available today, it can be difficult to know what sources to trust. Add that to the difficulty of finding information on Exotics in general, and the task becomes almost impossible.
We've made an effort to collect or create accurate care sheets and Vet information for all species of Exotics that are kept as pets. Check back often for updates as we find more sources to keep you and your companions on the forefront of knowledge.
All sources are verified by our team in an attempt to be as accurate and founded in science as possible. Updates to these posts will be dated for accuracy.
