You should get a Bengal tiger. Besides being really cool, they’re great with other pets and with children. And if that doesn’t work, if it’s not exotic enough for you, you should get a Mayan. Strangers will see you walking your Mayan down the street and they’ll completely fall in love with it. You’ll be a hit!
How about a couple of chinchillas? I heard they make good pets.
Have you ever heard of a sugar glider? I saw them in a pet store, cute little critters. Look them up on the internet. They definetly looked exotic to me.
I know what you mean. I’d like to live in the jungles of Indonesia. Well, skunks are cool. They are great pets. Sugar gliders, ducks, geese, I’ve even seen peacocks in the classified ads!! Racoons, hand raised, flying squirells. I’d just look them up. You never know what you’ll find!! Ferrets are cool too. Once they mature, they are excellent pets. The can be litter trained, love to romp and play, will go on a leash. They bite a lot when they are young though, but they just don’t know it hurts us. Good luck!! I might look into this myself!
Okay so my best friend has an iguana and its sooo amazing. She’s had it for a long time tho and its really big. She feeds it like huge leaves peanut butter and cheetos. Their really cool exotic pets and you get a lot of attention from having one. She built it a wooden cage and a heat lamp. Their great pets and very cool. Hope that helped
I have 3 ferrets I just rescued 2 that were in really bad condition. They are on the road to recovery. They are great pets and love you unconditionally. They are like a mix of a dog and a cat. Independent but loving and ready for affection. I couldn’t live without them. They usually run about $ 150 but you can get them from the newspaper ads for cheaper or even ferret rescue groups. People say they smell bad but I guess it depends if they are neutered or spayed and how people take care of them. My ferret doesn’t smell bad at all but the 2 new ones I got I think they were never bathed because they stunk big time. It’ll change once they get in the habit of bathing and clean cages. Whenever I take a bath my ferret takes a bath with me and she really enjoys it. If you want to be different and have a unique pet that is cute, affectionate, and can lift you up no matter what then you want a ferret. I wanted one since I was little and I finally got one and I love them. Well, I heard sugar gliders are cute to but I have never had one so I can’t say yay or nay on that. But anything else you want to know just ask and I’ll reply. They are not hard to take care of and if you keep them inside they won’t need any shots etc. (vet said) they are different colors and each is different with different personalities. Well they’re great good luck. I hope you choose a ferret because they are great. Mine don’t bite and I have never had one that did though there are some that do.
