Hi

I wish someone could help with this..I wanted a koala but now I know there's no way of getting one... I want to buy a pet animal other than a dog, cat, bird, turtle, rabbit, mouse, hamster, snake. I had a dog but it died and my mother won't let me have another one. I want an animal that can stay inside the house and not hard to buy? Thank you

An exotic animal is going to be hard to buy and harder to take care of. Not to mention its cruel to take an animal out of its environment. I don't know much about the animal market where you live but maybe you should look into buying or rescuing an exotic breed of cat. This might satisfy your sense of having an uncommon pet while still providing an animal you can properly care for.



There are lots of exotic looking domestic cats

do you like creepy crawlies?

well it depends where you live and how much time and effort you want to spend on the animal but if you want an "exotic" and you really will take care of them propperly then I would suggest a domestic skunk (a LOT of care and time), hedgehog, or chinchilla (they need cool temps) I have a dwarf rabbit who satisfies my small animal needs, but now I want MORE! I think a lot of shelters have bengal cats, which are part asian fishing cat. They are a VERY popular breed.

no comment ...well maybe one dont get a exotic unless you have tons of land where you can build a HUGE i mean HUGE habitat and tons of money plus youd have to do tons of reaserch i highly advise against it epescially if your still living with your mum wich means our a kid and probly dont know what your doing or getting into try get your mum to let you have a DOMESTIC animal if she dosent let you then dont get a animal at all
oh and judging by your koala stament you dont do reaserch cuz you obviously didnt know that there HIGHLY agressive...thats my comment

UNLESS its a creppy crawly like vinjashira said

[Suki Wingy]

well, I think the animals I mentioned qualify as exotic and they make fine pets. (Skunks are VERY high mantinentce though)
