    Guinea pigs are small mammals, not all vets will tend them.

    The term "exotic pets" varies with the context. State laws usually consider any wild animal, or untamed species as exotic. In that context, guinea pigs are not exotic.

    Anyway, nope, all I've ever had are dogs, cats and fish.

    As a child, I had many lizards, hamsters and hermit crabs.

    I use to have a guinea pig (Sally, in my siggy) but she passed away about a month ago.

    RIP Sally

    I had ferrets when they were still considered "exotic". I've had pet skunks, a pet raccoon, puffer fish, Florida softshell turtles and I have rehabbed a couple of bats. Other than that, right now I have dogs, cats, rabbits, a goldfish a 3 cory cats and some ghost shrimp. I am soon to have Green spotted puffers, Figure eight puffers and a snowflake eel. I also really really want to set up a crabitat for some hermit crabs.

    Lots of interesting pets!!

    My dad had many pheasants a few years ago including silver, golden, red golden, reeves, and hybrid pheasants. We had peacocks. We had a salt water tank with neat fish when I was a kid and my brothers had iguanas.

    These may not be exotic, but they are different;
    Highlander cows
    Llammas
    Donkey
    Pygmy goats
    All diff kinds of bunnies
    Pot bellied pigs
    Miniature horses

    I had mice as a kid and a frog.

    I found a bunny wandering around and took him in.

    Then I got Pua the tamandua anteater, and it's been all anteaters from there.

    Have had some fish but I'm not to fond really. We do have a huge armored catfish, aka pleco of some sort, that we got as a baby. I lost track but she's maybe around 15+ years old.

    Oh and got a couple guinea pigs for awhile. I took them because she was moving and threatened to set them loose. They had babies then I found them all homes.
