Frequently Asked Questions About Exotic Pet Care
Exotic pets need specialized care, including wellness exams, nutritional guidance, parasite screenings, and habitat assessments. Regular checkups help detect hidden illnesses early.
Most exotic pets need annual exams, but birds, reptiles, and small mammals may require biannual visits. Any change in behavior, appetite, or activity warrants an immediate checkup.
Signs include appetite loss, lethargy, weight changes, abnormal droppings, labored breathing, or behavior shifts. Exotic pets often hide illness, so early intervention is key.
Maintain proper temperature, humidity, lighting, and ventilation. Provide appropriate substrate, hiding spots, and enrichment to support natural behaviors.
